Reflexology can support women’s health by aiming to balance hormones, reduce stress and anxiety, and alleviate pain, offering benefits across various life stages like PMS, menopause and pregnancy.
Hormonal balance: By stimulating reflex points connected to the endocrine system, ovaries and uterus, reflexology can help regulate hormones like oestrogen and progesterone, which can improve menstrual cycle irregularities, PMS, menopausal symptoms and anxiety during pregnancy.
Stress and anxiety reduction: Reflexology activates the body’s relaxation response, which can lower stress hormones and calm the nervous system. This may help reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and promote better sleep. Studies have shown that it can lower anxiety levels in pregnant women.
