How Reflexology Helps Prevent Sickness

1. Lymphatic Drainage – Reflexology encourages movement in the lymphatic system, which is essential for clearing toxins and strengthening your immune response. Improved lymph flow helps your body defend against infections and lowers the risk of sickness.

   
   

2. Nerve Reflexology and the Vagus Nerve – Stimulating nerve reflex points, including those connected to the vagus nerve, helps regulate stress hormones and supports a balanced immune system. A well-functioning vagus nerve reduces inflammation and increases your body’s ability to resist sickness.

   
   

3. Toning the Airways – Specific reflex points linked to the lungs and respiratory system can be gently stimulated to keep airways clear and strong. This supports the body’s first line of defense against colds, flu, and other respiratory sicknesses.

The Benefits You’ll Notice

Regular reflexology can help your body stay resilient during periods of sickness.

Clients often notice fewer sick days, improved energy, reduced stress, and a stronger sense of overall wellbeing.

By addressing stress, supporting lymphatic flow, and enhancing respiratory and nerve function, reflexology provides a holistic boost to prevent sickness before it starts.

Reflexology isn’t just a relaxing treatment — it’s a proactive way to strengthen your body, reduce the likelihood of sickness, and maintain your health year-round.
