Reflexology for Fertility - An Ancient Therapy to the Rescue

If you've been trying to fall pregnant for quite a while and it's not happening as fast as you would like, it may help to change something in your body.

Reflexology has been around for thousands of years. It was first used by the Egyptians, and later the Chinese, to restore blood circulation and energy flow to parts of the body which are being neglected due to stress and anxiety.

During the fight or flight response, blood vessels are constricted and blood is redirected away from non-vital organs (like the reproductive system) to vital organs for fighting and fleeing, such as the heart, lungs, brain and muscles. A nice, soothing reflexology foot massage helps the body get OUT of the fight or flight mode, and redirects blood flow to the organs and glands that have not gotten attention in a while.

Doing this about twice a week for a few months is highly likely to have a positive effect on the general state of your reproductive health, and the health of your entire body. I always recommend at least three months, because this is the length of time it takes for egg cells and sperm cells to mature before being released. Did you know this? Poor egg health is sometimes seen as a static thing, an insurmountable barrier that comes with age, but this is simply not the case. Egg health can be totally transformed, and you have about 90 days in which to do it!
