In a world that is consumed with new technologies and advanced medical techniques, we tend to trust doctors more than our Creator. We want to feel and look younger so we partake in anything that offers up a chance to do so. Pharmaceutical companies push ads for medicines that treat both medical and non-medical issues and they ALWAYS have negative side effects. But, we are convinced that the benefits of the medication outweigh the risks. I am grateful for the knowledge bestowed upon scientists, researchers, and doctors, don’t get me wrong. What do you do when medications stop working or work against you and there are no surgical options? As I age, I realize that there is a greater need for holistic care as a compliment to medicine.
I own and operate a spa for men. Most of my clients are aged 50 and up. Some of them live with cancer, kidney failure, chronic back pain, lymphedema, diabetes, and cardiovascular issues. I am a proponent for wellness care in men. If I see something wrong, I ALWAYS refer them to their primary care physician. I even cancel appointments until they get clearance from a doctor. Why you may ask? It’s just a pedicure, right? Wrong! As a licensed professional nail technician that is also a certified Medical Advanced Nail Technician and Master Pedicurist, I am trained to recognize possible medical issues and refer to a doctor. I am currently studying to be come a nationally licensed reflexologist. The program reveals just how awesome the body is. Our bodies can begin self-healing when properly stimulated. Imagine your body is a complex building with many rooms, each representing a different organ or system. Reflexology is like having a set of light switches in your feet and hands that control the lights in each room. By flipping the right switch (applying pressure to specific points), you can turn on the lights (promote healing and relaxation) in the corresponding room (part of the body). This helps ensure the whole building functions smoothly.
Reflexology benefits include:
1. Reduces Stress and Anxiety
2. Improves Circulation
3. Pain Relief
4. Enhances Overall Well-being
5. Supports Immune Function
6. Balances Energy
7. Improves Sleep Quality
8. Aids in Digestion
9. Promotes Detoxification
10. Supports Emotional Health
Reflexology offers numerous benefits by promoting relaxation and reducing stress and anxiety. It improves circulation, which enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, and can alleviate pain from conditions like migraines and arthritis. This therapy supports the immune system, making the body more resilient to illnesses, and balances energy flow for better overall physical and mental health. Reflexology also aids in improving sleep quality and digestion, contributing to a better quality of life. Overall, it fosters emotional well-being and helps manage symptoms of depression and emotional stress.
