Most people absolutely love reflexology and receive it regularly
Some people though, must approach reflexology with caution
This page will help you determine if reflexology is safe for you
because as you will learn, anyone can do reflexology
People that should not under any circumstance receive reflexology include anyone with the following
Deep vein thrombosis
Thromboplebitis
Cellulite on the feet or legs
Acute infection with high temperature
Stroke- in the first two weeks
An unstable pregnancy
People with these conditions should not receive reflexology by anyone! except an Accredited Reflexologist
Pregnancy in the first trimester
Insulin dependent diabetics
Cancer, especially lymphoma
Epilepsy
Anti-coagulating drugs i.e. warfarin and heparin
People taking high dosage drugs or a variety of drugs
Up to six months after heart surgery
Hypersensitive people - eg. chronic fatique
Contagious conditions - eg. plantar warts, tinea, AIDS, Hep B or C
Always thoroughly check the foot, hand, face or ear before ever doing reflexology
Look for bruises, cuts, swelling, blisters, infections anything contagious or painful to touch
Things like these mean you should definitely not do reflexology on that part of the body
Reflexology is only for healthy feet, hands, face and ears
It helps restore balance, but does not cure diseases or illnesses and should be used to help maintain a healthy state
