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.
