Responses to Reflexology

Several health responses may occur. Some may take place during the session and others after the session. These may include:

1. Muscle contraction because of pain;
2. Perspiration of the hands and/or feet;
3. Getting cold or chilled;
4. Feeling faint or queasy.

Reactions which occur between sessions usually last only a day or two and indicate the body is returning to a state of balance. Below are some of the most common reported effects.

1. Tiredness. The body responds by needing more sleep so it can rest and repair.
2. Some clients feel energized with more vitality.
3. Change in sleeping pattern. Many clients experience deeper and calmer sleep. Others find that they dream more for a while.
4. Perspiration and skin rashes due to eliminating toxins through the skin.
5. Frequent urination, possibly with an unpleasant smell.
6. Diarrhea or frequent bowel movements. This is a natural part of the colon cleansing itself and returning to balance.
7. Increased mucus.
8. An illness which has been suppressed in the past and never really healed may flare up and cause some symptoms which should go away in a few days.
9. Emotional or psychological releases may result in crying.
