How can Reflexology help IBS?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is an uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing syndrome. It is a combination of intermittent abdominal pain, constipation and or diarrhoea.

Reflexology aims to reduce stress, anxiety and tension and encourage the release of any blockages in the body’s natural energy pathway.

A treatment will be tailored to relax and calm the digestive system which will help the body to reduce inflammation and mucous in the gut. Special attention will be applied to the digestive and lymphatic system to stimulate the release of toxins and impurities from the body. A course of reflexology will return the body to its natural state of balance and in turn reduce the unpleasant side effects of IBS. Advice about foods that can harm and help during IBS can be offered during the course of reflexology.Google Advertising Professional
