2. The depression is one such situation that is hard to handle and not only causes
mental illness, but can also cause stomach problems, headaches, and
unexplained aches and pains throughout the body. The person who is depressed
has no control over their mind and thoughts as they feel they are worthless and
it further affects their mood and their reaction to certain situations.
These situations are hard to handle by self and so seeking professional help is
essential. Also, your doctor may recommend you some medication and
counseling, which, when taken may help you handle depression. However, it is
important to understand that you can also make use of alternative therapies to
handle depression.
One of the alternative therapies is Reflexology that can be taken at home.
These are mainly based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine, which stimulates
certain points on the foot can have an effect on the organs or other areas within
the body. Using the reflexology therapy, the therapist mainly breaks down the
blockages, thus ensuring the energy flow within the body is supporting all of the
required functions.
While handling a depression case, the reflexologist mainly focus on certain points
within the foot, in particular the pituitary, thymus, pineal, thyroid and
parathyroid glands. The reason behind this is that these areas are known to
regulate our emotions and our mental well being, so will often not be functioning
properly in someone with depression. When these areas are massaged deeply, it
to break down the lactic acid build up and restore the proper function of the
glands.
Another reason for focusing on these areas is that it helps alleviate the mental
symptoms of depression and then carry out a full reflexology treatment as the
physical symptoms will also need treating. These reflexologist mainly examine
your feet, looking at their colour, appearance and condition in order to, see if
there is any underlying cause for your depression and they then treat the areas
they feel need attention accordingly.
Though these treatments are generally very soothing, yet it causes different
sensations while one receives the treatment. In cases where strong pressure is
needed then it can be slightly uncomfortable. Yet, if you feel that the treatment
is painful then you can easily tell your therapist to adjust the pressure as per
your comfort ability.
Even though, there are low chances that reflexology alone can cure your
depression yet, it may help alleviate some of your symptoms. These treatments
when taken at home can be all the more relaxing as you can relax easily before
and after the treatment.
