You may be in a totally different career and want to learn a skill that will not only benefit your family members, but also other members of your community in the realm holistic well-being; then reflexology is a great option.

3. Reduces Stress
When you are stressed, you’re your body’s defenses weaken causing you to become predisposed to illness and disease. It alleviates stress by generating deep and tranquil relaxation, allowing your body to heal and balance itself.

4. Improved Immune System
This treatment stimulates the lymphatic system which cleanses the body of toxins and impurities reducing the risk of infection. It also stimulates the production of endorphins resulting in a general sense of well-being.

5. Stimulates Nerve Function
This mode of treatment stimulates more than 7,000 nerves in the feet. This encourages the opening and clearing of neural pathways. It also disrupts pain pathways alleviating aches and pains.

6. Relaxation and Better Sleep
After a long day at work, there is no better way to relax than having a reflexology massage. This opens neural pathways for a more relaxed mind and body. It induces sleep and is commonly used in the treatment of sleep disorders such as insomnia.

You may have an ailing, elderly or even perfectly healthy family member that can greatly benefit from this treatment. Learning reflexology can also help you be of service to the wider community.
