Release Toxins
Our bodies are exceptional creations; the way we function is amazing. The heart has chambers to store and pump blood, while working with the lungs to give the blood oxygen-rich food. The oxygenated blood moves through the body via a system of arteries, and then veins bring the deoxygenated blood back up to the lungs and heart to begin the process again.
Picture the food-laden blood traveling through the arteries down your body, the rich blood nourishing you, eventually reaching the feet. Here the law of gravity kicks in and many of the toxins that the blood may have picked up are dropped off in the feet, as the veins begin the process of carrying the oxygen-stripped blood back up to be recharged.
Reflexology helps with the removal of these toxic wastes by revving up the body to work smoothly and efficiently, flushing out waste material. As all the systems join together in harmony, the toxins are removed from the body. The removal comes through some form of excretion, as the body works to rid itself of any unfriendly substances.
Fact
The lymphatic system is another waste-removing component within our bodies. The lymph vessels and organs deal with the absorption of fats, the distribution of excess fluids, and the elimination of other harmful substances. Reflexology helps to support the work of the lymph and spleen, thus encouraging the lymphatic movement throughout the body.
