Reflexology for Weight Loss and Cholesterol Management

Is diet and exercise just not enough when it comes to cholesterol and weight management?  Maybe you should consider adding clinical reflexology to your routine.  

One of my clients lost 3 pounds the week following her session.  3 POUNDS! As toxins build up in our body we store them as fat or as waste in the bowels.  As the bowels are stimulated throughout a clinical reflexology session, they are better able to function properly and aid in the removal of harmful toxins. 

Doctors Shou-qing, Xian-qing, Yuna-zhong, and Wan-yan, conducted a study of 72 cases of hyperlipemia (excessive lipids/fat) with a treated group of 41 and a control group of 31. Before and after the treatment session, 4 ml of "empty stomach blood" was collected. One group received a series of reflexo-therapy sessions of more strength (clinical reflexology) and lasting 30 to 40 minutes. The control group received a lighter strength 20 minute session (spa reflexology). The reflexo-therapy group showed an improvement of symptoms of 78% as opposed to 32% for the second group. The treatment group showed a reduction in cholesterol and monoglyceride with a marked statistical difference.

Arthritis Testimonial

"I had been dealing with arthritis pain in my left middle finger for over a year and half.  The base of my finger was so swollen and painful, I couldn't wear my wedding ring (even though it was on the next finger over).  As a piano teacher, I had been avoiding the use of my middle finger to the extremes.  I stopped playing certain pieces of music and couldn't snap my fingers with my left hand.  I had been doing everything in my power to avoid taking prescription medications.  I didn't think reflexology was going to do the trick.  To be honest, I was skeptical that anything done to my feet would have an effect on my hands.  I was pleasantly surprised.  After my first reflexology session I had a visible reduction in swelling, allowing me to wear my wedding ring, and the pain was manageable without medication.  After the second session, I could snap my fingers for the first time since showing symptoms.  Now, after 5 sessions, I can play pieces of music I haven't touched in ages.  I have truly seen better results than I had imagined!  I am able to manage my pain without the side effects of immuno-suppressants or pain pills.  Thanks MaryAnn! Reflexology is definitely going to be a regular part of my health management program."   ~Amy, Leavenworth KS
