Advanced Reflexology & Digestion
Our Stomach is Our Second Brain
Did you know that our stomach is our second brain? There is an entire ecosystem of bacteria and a vast neural network operating in our gut. It is not a thinking brain that reasons or creates but it can influence your mood and general health.
The enteric nervous system comprises of some 100 million neurons which is more than the spinal cord. It is a mesh-like network of neurons that line the entire digestive tract. 90 % of the cells received carry information to the brain rather than receiving messages from it. That's where we receive that 'gut feeling' as it is connected to our psychological stress response.
The enteric nervous system also communicates with bacteria which are completely separate from us. They make up the microbiome that help digest our food and fight off viruses and molds.
Digestion and Reflexology
There are many health issues and causes related to an imbalanced gut. An initial consultation and observation of a clients foot such as colour, temperature, skin texture may give some indicators to the state of their digestive system. There are specific reflexes that will work on the intestinal areas e.g. congestion in the colon is likely to be caused by congestion in the kidney. Therefore the kidney reflex point will be stimulated, resulting in eliminating toxic waste which has been sluggish to move before. This could therefore assist in preventing the formation of kidney stones or infections. Please note that in some cases I might request you seek medical advice from your GP if I perceive a disorder that might compromise your reflexology treatment.
