Reflexology Benefits Anxiety, MS, Headache & Sinusitis (Updated)

Some of the benefits of reflexology include its ability to stimulate nerve function, increases energy, boosts circulation, induces a deep state of relaxation, eliminates toxins, stimulates the central nervous system, prevents migraines, cleans up urinary tract conditions, speeds recovery after injury or surgery, helps relieve sleep disorders, reduces depression, and relieves pain.

Reflexology may also not be right for people with diabetes, osteoarthritis (affecting the ankle or foot), circulatory problems, active infections, gallstones, kidney stones, or certain types of cancer. You should also avoid reflexology if you are pregnant.

We sent two writers to trial a treatment - and quiz Anamaya reflexologist Rupert French all about it.

"Don't let preconceptions hold you back from trying reflexology. If you suffer from any kind of pain, stress or insomnia, it's definitely worth a go - at worst, it will leave you extremely relaxed and ready for a nap."
