Insomnia and Reflexology – Hand-y-relaxer

A reflexology technique called Hand-y-Relaxer to help promote sleep.

Here’s a quick, little technique I came across to help relieve stress and tension before bedtime.

Firstly, apply pressure to the solar plexuses. Place your left hand, palm facing upwards in your right hand, with your thumb uppermost.

Locate the area about two thirds of the way up your left palm, in line with the centre of your middle finger, then press down firmly with your right thumb using a clockwise rotational movement.

Repeat on the right hand and left thumb.

Worth a try, good luck...

Insomnia and Reflexology – Cycle Balancer

Another reflexology technique called Cycle Balancer

Here’s another reflexology technique I came across which is meant to help you relax before bedtime.

To help balance your sleep/awake cycle, try this DIY reflexology technique. It stimulates your pineal gland which produces the sleep hormone Melatin.
Here goes...

Using your thumb and forefinger, apply pressure to the fleshy area about two thirds of the way up your big toes for a couple of minutes. Leave it a minute and then repeat, try and do it for about 10 minutes.

I find that this technique always works best if carried out an hour or so before bedtime.

Give it a go, there’s nothing to lose and it doesn’t cost anything to try!

Reflexology – can it help insomnia?

A recent study at the University of Ulster showed that reflexology can have a very positive effect for those suffering with insomnia.

Below I’ve detailed some information explaining exactly what Reflexology is...

Reflexology is based on the idea that the body has ten energy zones that run vertically from the hands and feet up to the head. Reflexologists believe that a blockage in the flow of energy along one of these zones will affect the functioning of the organs, glands, bones and muscles that lie within it, and lead to illness.

These blockages manifest themselves as glandular deposits in the relevant reflex causing tenderness. Corns, bunions and even hard skin are thought to indicate problems in the parts of the body their position relates to. The energy theory behind reflexology is very similar to the one underpinning acupressure, though practitioners claim it is a different system.

It is claimed that stimulating the reflexes with the fingers and thumbs breaks down glandular deposits, releasing the flow of energy and encouraging self healing in the affected parts of the body.

I’ll give you some information on a couple of DIY reflexology techniques you can try yourself in future blogs – so watch this space.
