Aftercare Guide
Reflexology treatments are a very powerful way to detoxify the body, boost the immune system, improve circulation, relieve stress and stimulate the body's own healing process.
To get the full benefit from your Reflexology treatment it is important that you understand what measures you can take to maximise and prolong the benefits of the treatment and also be aware of the possible reactions
To ensure the full benefits of the treatment, following the advice below can enhance and prolong the benefits:
• Drink lots of water as this will hydrate the body, flush out toxins and improve energy levels
• Avoid caffeine, smoking, alcohol and recreational drugs as these are stimulants
• Try to rest as this will maximise the benefits and allow your body to heal
• Eat a light and healthy diet to allow your body to put its energy into healing
• Avoid strenuous activity and long distance drives
REACTIONS DURING AND AFTER THE TREATMENT
During : heightened feeling of heat or cold, sweating, thirsty, slight headache, heightened emotions (high and low), feeling sleepy or deeply relaxed, stomach gurgling.
After : frequency in going to the loo or bowel movements, tired, emotional, high, runny nose, headache, healing crisis.
WHAT IS HAPPENING Please be aware that you may experience a "Healing Crisis Reaction" after a treatment as the body starts to go through it's own healing process. This is very normal and is a positive sign that the body has responded to the treatment and that it is starting to rebalance itself.
• Toxins are being released from the tissues into lymphatic and blood circulation
• Cell renewal is accelerated
These reactions are all temporary and should clear within 24-48 hours. However, if your symptoms persist do not hesitate to contact me or if you really feel unwell consult your GP
