How Reflexology Can Help With Trying to Get Pregnant

If you are trying to get pregnant but are experiencing difficulty, reflexology is a holistic and natural therapy that can be of great benefit to help and comfort.

Reflexology can help to improve a person's fertility by directing the flow of energy where it is needed in specific reflex points. Reflexology involves manipulating pressure points in the feet in order to affect a corresponding area of the body. Energy pathways are unblocked, allowing the energy to flow freely as it should.

There are reflex points on the feet that correspond with the reproductive system in the body, and by manipulating these points imbalances that can lead to problems conceiving can be corrected.

How Reflexology Can Help Fertility

Reflexology can be helpful for reproductive system issues that can have an impact on a person's fertility such as:

Polycystic ovaries
Cervical problems
Scar tissue
Pelvic inflammatory disease
Pre-menstrual syndrome
Hormonal imbalances
Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
Stress related problems
Menstrual problems

Reflexology is great for helping relieve stress. It is very important to reduce stress if you are trying to increase your fertility and become pregnant. Stress can affect your ability to conceive. Whether it's issues worrying about becoming pregnant, stress from family/friends, job related stress, etc. Reflexology is known for being calming and relaxing.

Reflexology is great for balancing hormones, which can help with regular menstruation, relieving the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome/endometriosis and promoting ovulation.

Reflexology and Conventional Medicine

If you are undergoing medical tests to find out the cause of infertility, trying a course of fertility drugs, or seeking out other treatments such as IVF, ICSI, GIFT, or ZIFT, reflexology can be of great benefit to you. This is because it is a holistic and natural therapy, and will not have an effect on the treatments you are undergoing or take in place of them. Reflexology can support your body physically and mentally. It will give you the strength that you need in order to ease anxiety/stress as well as give you the needed support. It will help give the treatment the best possible chance of succeeding.

A Personal Success Story

About 4 years ago I had a client couple a husband and wife coming to me weekly for reflexology treatments. The female client was a 30 year old (at the time) but wasn't experiencing any difficulties with getting pregnant. Her husband was in his 30's and he was told by a doctor that he would never be able to have kids due to his condition of varicocele which is a swelling of a vein in the scrotum. I had made a special aromatherapy blend for his specific condition to use and continued with the reflexology treatments. I got the call from his wife about 4 weeks into the reflexology treatments. She said she found out why she had been getting sick and it was because she was pregnant. I never felt such joy and happiness in my life before knowing that I had helped someone struggling and succeeding by giving them such a beautiful gift. It was very exciting and overwhelming.
