Reflexology and Infertility

Reflexology is well known for helping with menstrual problems such as infertility. It can be used to  help restore the natural rhythm of the menstraul cycle therefore increasing the chances of conceiving. Reflexology can also help for ovarian cysts,with them often disappearing and discomfort subsiding within weeks of starting treatments.

Many women find the stress of trying to conceive difficult and reflexology can help to relax and calm the person and this in itself can often be enough.

Female Reproductive Disorders Helped by Reflexology.

The reproductive system is dependent on a range of hormones all working together, it is a system that depends on a fine balance and can be easily disturbed for example, Ovarian cysts and poly cystic ovaries are usually caused by a hormone dysfunction. While some cysts may erupt of their own accord others can become very large and cause pressure on organs in the pelvic cavity which can cause discomfort.

Stress can cause a disruption in the menstrual cycle and can often make conceiving more difficult, often a vicious circle occurs when it becomes difficult to tell if the stress is caused by or is causing the problems conceiving.

When ovulation occurs many women can experience ovulation pain, an interesting note is that reflexology can pick up on this sensitivity in the ovary (as it can with other parts of the body that are inflamed, congested or tense). If ovulation is occurring from the right ovary pain will be felt in the corresponding areas of the foot, the same applies for the left ovary.

Reflexology has become well known for helping with conception and other menstrual cycle issues, such as menstrual pain and menopause (see Reflexology and Menstrual pain and Reflexology and Menopause for further information).
