Myth 4

​Myth number 4: Reflexology cures diseases.
This is a bit of a misnomer because whilst reflexology will not cure specific illnesses and conditions, it does help to restore balance in the body to help heal itself.
Our bodies were designed to work in a state of homeostasis or balance. When all factors are balanced we are well. If anything causes this balance to be tipped then our bodies do not work efficiently and we experience disease and illness.
The homeostasis can be affected by what we eat, medication, the environment, stress, pregnancy, amongst others things.
Reflexology is a complementary therapy and not designed to replace any treatment prescribed by your GP or specialist. However, it can help your body to balance all its systems which may have the effect of lowering the doses or amount of medication you take.
