Although the effects are unique to each person, reflexology can promote relaxation, improve circulation, stimulate vital organs and encourage the body’s natural healing processes. It can also speed up the elimination of harmful toxins from the body, as well as boosting the production of natural chemicals in the brain.
Reflexology is also helpful when used to support traditional treatments of Parkinson’s. For example, it can stimulate the saliva glands and tear ducts which are often suppressed as a result of Parkinson’s medications, and can also help to relieve constipation.
