What is Mental Health?
Mental health refers to our emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing. It affects how we think, feel, and act in our daily lives. Good mental health helps us to cope with life’s stresses, build healthy relationships with others, and make positive choices for ourselves. Mental health issues can range from mild mood swings to more severe conditions such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.
Reflexology and Mental Health
Mental health is not limited to the mind, it also affects the body as well as the immune system. As reflexology stimulates the nervous and lymphatic systems, it supports the release of the feel-good hormones that help relieve stress. When totally relaxed during a treatment, you enter the meditative state that has a deep relaxing impact on the whole body and mind.
It is important to seek treatment from a mental health professional if you are struggling with your mental health or think you may have a mental health issue. It has been shown that seeing a mental health professional together with having reflexology treatments is beneficial. With the right help and support, it is possible to manage mental health issues and lead a healthy life.
Neuro-Reflexology
This is a groundbreaking approach that focuses on the impact of the brain on behaviour and cognitive functions, as well as the thought process of people. This technique, created by Lone Sorensen involves stimulating specific reflex points on the face, head, hands, and feet, mirroring the neurological patterns of the brain to influence the cognitive pathways.
By working these key areas, Neuro Reflexology activates neurons that sends signals to the brain. This helps a wide range of common conditions. This includes neurodevelopmental disorders like Down Syndrome, Autism, and ADHD, neurological conditions like epilepsy and stroke effects, including language loss, and even extends to behavioural issues like addiction.
Moreover, it presents a novel way to comprehend and potentially influence immune system disorders, bridging the gap between the physical and cognitive realms of our health. With Neuro Reflexology, we seek to enhance understanding, improve wellbeing, and unlock the potential for individuals to thrive.
