Myths
From the Complete Guide to Foot Reflexology
There are many myths about reflexology.
They can have harmful effects because, just like rumors, they always
seem to have a willing audience. Here are some of the worst ones...
Myth: Reflexology is not safe for babies.
Fact: Not true. Reflexology is safe for
EVERYONE! In fact, children love to have their feet worked on because
they can experience the immediate and actual pleasure of it. Light
pressure is used on the feet of infants, and has even been known to
relieve colic. The techniques must be adapted to tiny feet. In
general, babies enjoy and benefit from very light pressure on the
bottoms of their feet.
Myth: Reflexology is not safe for pregnant
women.
Fact: Not true. If the fear is of
miscarriage, reflexology can only HELP the body seek its own
equilibrium. A miscarriage is a reaction of the body, NOT a reaction
to reflexology. Under no circumstances has reflexology ever been
shown to have caused the body to do something it didn't want to do.
Myth: Reflexology is not safe for
diabetics.
Fact: Not true. Insulin shock is the result
of improper treatment of diabetes. It is NOT the result of, nor does
it have any connection with reflexology treatments. A person who is
diabetic has a serious health problem which requires constant
attention. Reflexology can and should be used with diabetics as well
as with any ill person to help restore homeostasis.
