Pregnancy and Reflexology

For those who haven’t heard of Reflexology: it is the study of application of appropriate pressure to points and areas on the feet. It is believed that these reflex points correspond to different body organs and systems, it is said that by applying pressure to these points there is a beneficial effect on the organs and one’s general health. Today, there are millions of people around the world that use this system to complement other treatments when dealing with conditions such as anxiety, asthma, cancer, cardiovascular issues, diabetes, headaches, exhaustion, kidney and liver functions and many more.

Some questions that I have encountered lately were:” can Reflexology be used on pregnant women?” “Can it cause damage?” ” Is it safe?” “I heard that it can cause a miscarriage, is that true?” “How can I benefit from it?”
