Fertility reflexology is a type of reflexology that focuses on the reproductive organs. It can help to improve fertility in both men and women by stimulating key points around the pelvic area. It also helps to reduce stress and pain, which are both common causes for infertility in men and women.
What Are Some Examples of Fertility Reflexology Techniques?
There are many different types of fertility reflexology techniques, which can be broken down into three categories: charts, chakra charts, and 4 elements charts. Charts are a map of the body which helps pinpoint specific points on the feet or hands that correspond to organs in the body. Chakra charts are based on Hindu tradition and they map out different energy centres in the body. The 4 elements chart is a more modern version of this chart that was created by Chinese medicine practitioners and it divides the body into four parts based on what element it corresponds to (earth, water, fire, wind).
How Can You Benefit From Fertility Reflexology?
Fertility reflexology is a treatment that can be done by oneself or through a practitioner. Many women find that It helps to improve fertility, reduce stress and promote weight loss.
The treatment is done by applying pressure on reflex points in the feet and hands that are related to the reproductive system. This treatment has been around for thousands of years and it has been found to be effective in reducing stress and promoting weight loss as well as improving fertility.
In addition to promoting fertility, reflexology can provide other benefits for those trying to conceive. The gentle massage and pressure points help to reduce stress and tension, which is important when you’re on an emotional rollercoaster of hopes and disappointments each month. Reflexology promotes better sleep too, giving your body the restorative rest it needs. Many women report fewer menstrual cramps and more regular cycles after receiving regular reflexology treatments. The relaxation aspect alone makes reflexology worthwhile, but the potential fertility benefits make it even more appealing to try when you’re struggling to get pregnant.
Should You Try Fertility Reflexology?
Fertility Reflexology has long been considered a holistic therapy that can assist in the treatment of infertility. It is a form of alternative medicine that is thought to help with fertility as well as other conditions, such as menstrual cramps, endometriosis, and menopausal symptoms.
The benefits of Fertility Reflexology are unquantifiable. They cannot be measured by science or research. My advice is always to try it if you want to see for yourself how it can help with fertility and other conditions.
