\u00a0The Reflex in Reflexology Is Real<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The reflex in reflexology has real meaning with real world medical applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

At least that\u2019s the take away from research with reflexology and ICU patients breathing with the support of mechanical ventilation. In one results patients were taken off ventilation support in a faster time when reflexology was applied.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The new book Reflexology Research and Mechanical Ventilation<\/i> from Barbara Kunz details how and why this would happen with analysis of ten research studies. Five of the studies looking at the issue of time spent on ventilation. All five found a quicker \u201cweaning\u201d time for patients who received reflexology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider: a reflex is an automatic, unconscious response to a stimulus. Now consider: an automatic, unconscious response was created with a specific dose of the sensory stimulus of reflexology\u2019s pressure techniques for patients breathing with the help of mechanical ventilation following surgery or while hospitalized.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best results were triggered by a carefully considered dose of reflexology, specifically chosen reflex areas. \u201cResearchers noted selection of and technique application targeting the reflex areas which \u2018may be responsible\u2019 for \u2018stabilization of physiological indicators and reduction of ventilation dependence.\u2019\u201d*<\/span><\/p>\n

Patients who received foot reflexology technique applied to heart, lung, solar plexus and diaphragm reflex areas were removed from ventilator support a full hour more quickly than those whose foot reflexology work was applied to heart and lung reflex areas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reflexologists have long contended and research has demonstrated that technique application to specific reflex areas has effect on the reflected part of the body. Research has now gone a step farther. Reflexology applied to specific reflex areas has an effect with medical applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

For details about dosing in reflexology and why these areas were chosen see Reflexology Research and Mechanical Ventilation.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
