And the Link to Reflexology
Reflexology assists with conditions linked to the kidneys:
– Fear and anxiety
– Urinary tract infections
– Incontinence
– Kidney stones
– Lower back pain
– Edema (fluid retention), reproductive and hormonal disturbances
– Linked conditions such as kidney failure, high blood pressure, diabetes and cardiovascular disease
The kidneys main job is to cleanse the blood of toxins and transform the waste into urine. Each kidney weighs about 160 grams and gets rid of between one and one-and-a-half litres of urine per day. The two kidneys together filter 200 litres of fluid every 24 hours. They remove waste products from the body, remove drugs from the body and balance the body’s fluids.
They release hormones that regulate blood pressure and produce an active form of vitamin D that promotes strong, healthy bones. Each kidney has a very complex structure and function. They have two important functions namely: to flush out harmful and toxic waste products and to maintain balance of water, fluids, minerals and chemicals i.e., electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, etc.

WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE REFLEXOLOGY AS A NATURAL HEALH TREATMENT?
Reflexology helps to normalise and balance the functioning of the kidneys and associated conditions by detecting crystals and pain in these and associated reflexes, and reducing it so that you feel better, have more energy and experience less symptoms. The kidneys are balanced from an anatomical and an emotional view in the treatment
