Hi IB,

Reflexology is one of the best supports for detoxification that I know. I agree that the digestive system is an important organ system for health and well-being. It’s in our best interest to take special care here.

Best,
Wendy

A Nobel-prize winning Russian scientist, Elie Metchnikoff, studied the colon in his research about immunity. He found out that most illnesses can be traced from a dirty or congested colon. He said that deadly toxins can accumulate inside the body that may result to all sorts of diseases and illnesses.

Comment on Reflexology and the Solar Plexus by Wendy Coad

Absolutely. That’s the beauty of reflexology – there are so many additional layers of healing modalities that can be accessed through the feet (hands, etc.). As a Registered Polarity Practitioner (RPP), I also work with these powerful connections. I’ve developed a “Reflexology and the Chakras” workshop because all the chakras can be reflexed and assisted in their balancing while working on the feet. And, my clients love it too!

The solar plexus chakra can also be influenced and affected by the two others aligned chakras above and below it (i.e heart chakra/green and sacral chakra/orange.)

Thank you your blog is top. Many clients of mine have had their gall bladder removed, I only wish they had come to complementary therapies earlier.

Comment on The 14 Steps to Repeat Customers by Wendy

Hi Sheila,

Thanks for your email.

In order to feel confident about having your friend who just had 2 breast removed Thur. July 29th, receive reflexology you should check first with her doctor. This is so simple to do and this way you won’t miss anything (i.e., a complication or another issue that is not known to you) only the doctor knows about.

Once you get the doctor’s okay, the reflexes you suggested are an excellent choice: chest/lung/breast, lymphatic system,& pituitary.

I would also detail what I call the “BIG 3″ systems, endocrine, lymph and CNS (for calm and relaxation)

I’m sorry that your friend had a less than positive experience with her first practitioner – (and this should be a note to all reflexology practitioners – keep the session client focused).

You’ll be interested to know that the University of Michigan has received a 1.3 million dollar grant from the NIH (National Institute of Health) to study reflexology as a support for the effects of the treatment breast cancer. As their website states:

“Breast cancer patients turn to reflexology for comfort” 9/30/2005

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Researchers at Michigan State University are finding that many women who are receiving chemotherapy while in the late stages of breast cancer are turning to a complementary therapy known as reflexology to help them cope.

In a pilot study, researchers from MSU’s College of Nursing tested three different complementary therapies — reflexology, guided imagery and reminiscence therapy, in which women recall times in their lives when they’ve met and overcome challenges. Of those three, reflexology proved to be the most effective…

As, a reflexologist, even a new one, the more you practice, the more confident you’ll become (1 1/2 years is a good amount of time to have practiced – keep up the good work, you’re well on your way).

I like to remind my students that reflexology is not as exacting a science as say, brain surgery… with reflexology, even the simplest effort has potential to offer a tremendous amount of support. The stress relief that’s inherent in reflexology tends to really help the body in its own healing processes.

And yes, you can certainly help long distance. I believe that the care and compassion that you have for your friend will certainly help, even from afar.

Best wishes.
