Reflexology in Health Care
Because it promotes overall health, reflexology is used as complementary
care for people with a variety of conditions. For example, reflexology can help alleviate headaches, reduce arthritic and back pain, decrease the symptoms of addiction withdrawal, ease the swings of premenstrual syndrome, and reduce the symptoms of diabetes.
In Switzerland, nurses working with terminally ill cancer patients routinely use reflexology to reduce the pain and make patients more comfortable. In Great Britain, reflexology is part of the National Health Service. Of the 26% of Danes who have tried reflexology as complementary therapy, 73% of these experienced benefits, including a gain in energy, improved mood and improved sleep.
