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.

A quick jab with your thumb to the big toe pituitary reflex will immediately bring wake someone who has passed out; or out of a grand mal seizure, or a schizophrenic psycho episode (i have experienced these). So I'd imagine the same would be true of dizziness, stroke, etc. (not experienced). Probably on the thumb as well as the big toe. In my opinion this little tip is a valuable, possibly life-saving tool.

It also helps when kids fall and are going to have swelling. It stops it in its tracks.
