Reflexology activates the body's healing power. So we expect some type of reaction as the body tries to rebalance itself. This reaction is called 'the Healing Crisis'.
Many factors can influence how severe or mild the Healing Crisis is. Generally people, can experience the following after a Reflexology session: fatigue, tingling, itching and the body's temperature will often go down. Some people will often urinate or have a bowel movement, this is the body ridding itself of the toxins, which have been released during the session.
People who have a lot of toxins and impurities in their systems will have a more severe 'Healing Crisis', symptoms can include headaches, diarrhoea, coldness, nausea and sinus congestion. These symptoms are a very good sign that the Reflexology is working. Healing crises normally pass within 24 hours. As the body has released a large amount of toxins and impurities, a severe Healing Crisis is unlikely to reoccur at subsequent sessions. Those who lead very stressful lives are likely to encounter this kind of healing crisis.
