After a reflexology session, it is normal to have a 'healing reaction' as the body detoxifies itself. As you relax, your energy moves freely and may express mildly in one of the following ways: runny nose, the expression of a cold, increased pain in an already problematic area (flare up), different sleep patterns, emotional expressions (sensitivity or sadness), more frequent bowel movements, headaches, more energy, less energy. These noticeable reactions are most likely to occur after your initial visit and usually subside within a day or two.
Don't be put off by the treatment; your body is responding favourably if you experience any of these reactions. Be patient and ride it out, the reaction shouldn't last very long.
After the treatment session, you should feel calm on all planes, relaxed, you should have a clear mind; some people feel a great deal of energy and others feel like they want to go straight to bed. Whatever you feel, be sure to take it easy as the next little while is an important time for healing. Be sure to drink a lot of water after the treatment and for the next couple of days to continue the detoxification process.
