Reiki and Chronic Pain: Can Reiki Help Heal the Chronic Pain Epidemic?
In addition to other natural, non-invasive therapies, Reiki is becoming an increasingly popular option. According to AltMD, beyond signaling a physical problem, chronic pain can also stem from psychological and emotional disturbances. Reiki can resolve them by allowing healing energy to flow freely. The result is reduced pain and tension, as well as feelings of relaxation and rejuvenation. Unlike most other treatments, Reiki is a multi-purposed method that can heal both physical and emotional ailments. Through Reiki, some patients suffering from pain due to cancer, injury, or psychological or emotional distress have found relief where other methods were not successful.
Some small studies have been conducted to determine the effectiveness of Reiki. They suggest that patients may use Reiki to find relief from not only the physical aspects of chronic pain, but also the anxiety that often comes with it. According to an article from the University of Minnesota, several studies found that Reiki treatments seem to relax patients, reduce fatigue and depression, and strengthen a person’s overall sense of wellbeing.

“One quarter of the bones in the body are in the feet. The feet are at the extreme end of the body. Blood and lymph from the feet must flow uphill against gravity. Movement of these vital liquids is essential. Heavy particles will tend to settle out as sediment, especially when the current is not swift. Sluggish flow may promote poor oxygenation of tissues and in adequate removal of waste. Crystals in the tissue may form. Nerve endings in the feet have extensive-interconnections thru the spinal cord and brain with all areas of the body. The feet are a gold mine of opportunity to release tension and enhance health.”

Reflexology Soothes Bodies Internally
This ancient holistic treatment targets pressure points that can soothe and heal your body and soul, safely and naturally.It may look like a simple foot rub, but reflexology is much more
Imagine reflexology as an internal massage. While a regular massage deals with the fascia and muscles, reflexology deals with internal structures like organs, glands and systems of the body. It’s all based on ancient, documented science and research.
There are reflex points in your feet and they correspond to every part and system of your body. By applying pressure using a specific finger walking technique, a therapist triggers a reflexology point to send a message to the targeted area. Reflexology also breaks up normal waste deposits in the feet, in these corresponding areas. This practice increases circulation and blood flow and ultimately reduces stress. It also detoxifies, relaxes, balances and clears your system.
So if you are looking to feel good from head to toe, you may want to put your feet in good hands and give reflexology a try.

When it comes to matters of the heart, it’s not just about sharing the love once a year on Valentine’s Day. Americans devote the entire month of February to heart health awareness in a national effort to prevent one million heart attacks and strokes by 2017.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death among men and women in the U.S., and one of the biggest contributing factors is high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that more than 67 million Americans live with high blood pressure, therefore making it essential for individuals to regularly check their blood pressure and find ways to control it.
One way to help keep blood pressure controlled is through regular, therapeutic massage and/or reflexology. The overall benefits of massage and reflexology are numerous, but lowering blood pressure is a key one, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
A massage or reflexology session can not only relax high-tension muscles, but also allows the blood flow to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, which helps reduce inflammation, stiffness and pain. Cortisol levels decrease through massage, too, allowing the body to be in a more relaxed state and improve the functioning of the immune system.
Massage and Reflexology are intimate, healthful gift ideas that benefits the recipient well beyond a therapy session.
For Valentine’s Day, what could be healthier for a relationship than caring for the heart with a stress-relieving massage or reflexology session that’s sure to leave you and someone you care about, feeling their best? Massage therapy and reflexology can also reduce back pain, increase joint flexibility and boost immunity to colds and flu during the winter months.
