Reflexology for Lung Support

The Reflexology Minute: Reflexology for Lung Support
You will learn: 
  • What reflexology points to address for lung health;
  • What area to press for congestion in lung area.
Due to wildfires and smoke, the air quality in Northern California right now is very unhealthy. People with asthma are having a particularly difficult time. And some people with no previous lung conditions or weaknesses are feeling tightness in their chests and developing a recurring cough.

Living in Santa Rosa, the smell also conjures up a lot of feelings of despair and loss, as it was only a year ago that we experienced wildfires here. The people, the animals, the land. 

During this time I have been doing a few things to help with my sore and tired lungs.  The Medical Medium's Metal Detox Smoothie has felt particularly good. In addition to that I've been working on the reflexology points for my lungs. I have also addressed these points for all my clients.

To address the lungs using hand reflexology you will thumb walk over the ball of both hands where the metacarpal heads are located. You can simply rub this area but it will be more effective to use reflexology technique. In this case, thumb walking is the best technique as it is very specific. Watch this week's Reflexology Minute for visual instruction on how to apply reflexology technique for the chest/lung area in your hands..

Reflexology for Indigestion

The Reflexology Minute: Reflexology for Indigestion
You will learn: 
  • What indigestion is;​
  • Where to press in your hands to relieve the symptoms of indigestion.

I love food but certain foods don't necessarily love me, especially fried and spicy foods. While I continue to evaluate and acknowledge what my body really longs for and needs, the cravings, at this point in my life, persist. And yes, I give in! I mean, have you had the fried cheese curds at Bird in the Bottle?! Very hard to resist. So, until I either let those foods go or my gut heals in such a way that it accepts these foods (I know, highly unlikely) I delight in them on occasion and then sometimes pay the consequence.

I'm also learning a lot about the benefits of a plant-based diet and am at about 80/20 right now. Living in the 80% completely eradicates the pain and indigestion but, well, there is that 20%. But that's for another blog. 

So, if you've eaten too fast or too much or ate something that doesn't agree with you, there are reflexology points you can press in your hands to help alleviate the pain. The four points I suggest are stomach, small and large intestines, diaphragm, and the adrenal glands. If that's too much do the small and large intestines.

The Reflexology Minute: The Pituitary Gland

The Reflexology Minute: The Pituitary Gland
You will learn: 
  • Where the pituitary gland is in the body;​
  • Why it's important;
  • Where the pituitary gland reflexology point is located;
  • How to do reflexology on the pituitary gland reflex.
The Pituitary Gland is a pea-sized gland at the base of the brain. It is known as the endocrine system’s ‘master gland.’ It regulates growth and development, produces necessary hormones that stimulate follicle growth, and milk production in lactating women. It also stimulates organs and glands to secrete hormones that aid in sleep, mood, water retention, blood levels, stress response, and sexual function and reproduction. Essentially it’s talking to our kidneys, thyroid, adrenals, uterus and mammary glands, ovaries and testes. No small task! To help the pituitary gland function optimally press on the reflexology point for this gland located at the center of both thumb prints. 

The pituitary gland reflexology point is located in your thumbs and the great toes (aka big toes) right at the center where the swirl or dot is located. Press in to that area using your finger or a mechanical pencil eraser for five seconds. I recommend doing the thumb points plus all the fingers for good measure.
