Reflexology treatments are primarily intended to improve the body’s circulation and to assist the body in speeding up the elimination of waste products, so that toxins do not have a chance to build up to harmful levels in the liver, kidneys, or bowel. Reflexology can also help to control the perception of pain by stimulating the release of endorphins – the body’s natural painkillers – from the pituitary gland, in the brain, into the bloodstream. In this way it improves all of the body’s functions and thus encourages the body’s natural healing processes to work more speedily and efficiently.
