Whether you’re considering parenthood for the first (or subsequent) time or have been trying for a while, reflexology can benefit you. It works with your body to restore balance and can help to create the right environment for conception.
The Association of Reflexologists (AoR) explains that ‘reflexology can be of great benefit to clients suffering from infertility’ explaining that ‘on average about 50% of clients seeking help through reflexology for infertility, find themselves pregnant within 6 months of commencing treatment.’
By supporting the body’s own healing, reflexology can assist conception by helping the body overcome hormonal imbalances leading to problems such as;
- Irregular periods
- Painful periods (dysmenorrhoea)
- Heavy periods (menorrhagia)
- Scanty periods (oligomenorhoea)
- Absence of periods (amenorrhoea)
- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
- Endometriosis
- Fibroids
Reflexology can work well with assisted conception including IVF. The balancing, calming effects complement medical procedures well. According to Infertility Network UK (www.infertilitynetworkuk.com, 2008)
“Reflexology has a strong affinity with the hormonal system and can help to balance hormone production prior to your cycle. It is also deeply relaxing and can be used prior to embryo transfer to maximise nerve and blood supply via the uterine reflex.”
Of course there are no guarantees, as with any other medical intervention or therapy, but case studies have shown reflexology to be effective in helping the body to prepare for conception.
If you’re having trouble conceiving it’s also worth taking a look at other aspects of your life, even the basics, to give you the best possible chance. Simple things such as what you eat, how much you drink and how much excercise you take can all have an impact on your fertility.
