    Reflexology, does knowing which points on your feet help with your health? According to the chart below the right points on your feet can help trigger relief in many parts of your body.

    Foot reflexology is a treatment that’s been practiced for centuries. It involves applying pressure to different points on the bottom of the foot. According to Dustin Martinez, a Los Angeles–based chiropractic physician, research from 2014 shows that reflexology can improve quality of life in several ways. Reflexology

    According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), these points correspond to different areas of the body. They are believed to have multiple benefits, including reducing stress, aiding digestion, and promoting sound sleep.

    “Reflexology is ancient medicine — it’s been around forever,” he says. “It can be traced as far back as 2330 B.C.”

    Massage vs. reflexology: What’s the difference? 

    While massage and foot reflexology are both known for their relaxing benefits, they have different functions.

    “Foot reflexology is a therapeutic massage with sustained pressure instead of broad strokes, like a classic massage,” explains Martinez. “Fine detail and pressure are applied to specific reflex points and held until released.”

    A massage might be more beneficial for overall relaxation and muscle aches, whereas reflexology may be able to target specific concerns with focused points on the feet. As with any medical treatment do not stop any current treatment by consulting your doctor.

    There is a warning concerning Foot Reflexology

    *Reflexology is not recommended for those with gout, a history of blood clots, or circulatory issues. If you’re pregnant, consult a doctor before trying reflexology. There are concerns associated with foot reflexology and stimulating labor.*

    Healthy Living Foot Pain

    The foot and ankle are made up of tiny bones and sophisticated structures that get you where you want to go. Your foot alone has 26 bones (one-quarter of all bones in the body) and 33 joints. A problem with one or more of these structures can cause discomfort every time your foot hits the ground. Stressed-feet

    Psychological factors in participants with and without foot/ankle pain. Four of seven cross-sectional studies reported increased symptoms of depression and anxiety in participants with foot/ankle pain compared to those without.

    Is your Anxiety the cause of foot pain or is your foot pain the result of anxiety? When you have foot pain does it affect your psychological health? Certain emotional disorders can magnify the person’s ability to perceive pain. Anxiety and depression are often the culprits. Be aware that anxiety and depression can be a cause of foot and ankle pain or that they can exacerbate true physical symptoms. Anxiety and foot pain

    The podiatrist should be able to perform a rudimentary psychological evaluation in the outpatient clinical setting and should be prepared to make a timely and proper referral to a mental health professional for additional testing and treatment.

    Learn More Stressed Feet

    Stress affects all of us in many ways: it can heighten our level of excitement and it can weigh us down and even make us sick. Physical stress can take its toll on our feet in the form of excessive wear and tear of the nails and skin and show up as overuse injuries like tendinitis or bone stress fractures.

    Excessive emotional stress or anxiety can have more subtle symptoms and be felt all the way to our toes. Many people may endure restlessness of the legs that disturbs their sleep or tensing of muscles that may adversely affect their gait. An anxiety attack involving hyperventilation and a sudden release of adrenaline in the body moves blood away from your feet and may produce uncomfortable burning and numbness, cold feet and even hyperhidrosis (sweating). Antidepressant or anti-anxiety medications can be useful if the person is also experiencing significant depression or anxiety.

    The mind-body connection is powerful and must be considered when dealing with all injuries and illnesses. Being over-stressed results in perceived hypersensitivity and more painful symptoms that would normally not elicit such a response. Negative stress can negatively affect treatment outcomes, resulting in poor compliance, more discomfort, delays in healing, and a higher rate of complications.

    Stress cannot be ignored. As podiatric physicians, we evaluate and consider the entire person, not only focusing on their foot problem in order to enjoy optimal results.

    How do I relax my feet from anxiety?

    Foot massage for anxiety 3 Massages for Pressure Points on Feet Few things feel better than a massage, and few forms of massage feel as good as a foot massage! Some ancient practices and a growing body of medical research even suggest that massaging specific pressure points on your feet can heal conditions affecting entirely different parts of your body.

    Talking with a doctor before reducing or stopping prescription medication or starting an herbal supplement is important. Many medications derived from ingredients in herbs can be potent, cause side effects, and interact with other medications.

    *Some medications for anxiety relief can have uncomfortable side effects. So, at times, people with anxiety consider herbal remedies as alternatives.*

    Different herbs can affect the body in different ways. For example, some ashwagandha can reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the blood. Long-term exposure to high circulating cortisol levels can increase a person’s risk of developing anxiety.

    Other herbs can aid relaxation by altering signal processing in the brain. For example, valerian root extracts may modulate gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors in the brain, which may promote relaxationTrusted Source and reduce anxious feelings. So, many claim that valerian root can also assist in treating sleep conditions such as insomnia.

    Chamomile Valerian, Lavender, we have already discussed these for stress relief but I found a site that explains the benefits of several herbs for the best anxiety relief Ashwagandha, Passionflower, Cannabidiol (CBD) 

    is one of the active ingredients of the cannabis plant.

    A study from 2019 suggested that CBD may have a calming effect on the central nervous system.

    The researchers concluded that CBD might be beneficial for people with anxiety-related disorders. However, clinical trials are necessary to confirm these results.

    Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not currently approve the use of CBD

    this natural chemical is widely available in the following forms:

    As with any herbal remedy do some research to make sure it’s the right fit for you.

    What Are Essential Oils?

    They’re made from parts of certain plants like leaves, seeds, bark, roots, and rinds. Makers use different methods to concentrate them into oils. You may add them to vegetable oils, creams, or bath gels. Or you might smell them, rub them on your skin, or put them in your bath. Some research shows that they can be helpful if you know how to use them the right way. Always check the label and ask your doctor if you’re not sure if they’re OK for you to use.

    DO Try It if You’re Anxious

    Simple smells such as lavender, chamomile, and rosewater may help keep you calm. You can breathe in or rub diluted versions of these oils on your skin. Scientists think they work by sending chemical messages to parts of the brain that affect mood and emotion. Although these scents alone won’t take all your stress away, the aroma may help you relax.

    Scents and Meditation can work to give you more control over the anxious moments before they lead to stress and anxiety which can manifest themselves in physical ways, so get your scent on.

    Have you ever considered Tai Chi as a natural tranquilizer? Well, Tai Chi is an internal Chinese martial art practiced for self-defense and health. Known for its slow, intentional movements, Tai chi has practitioners worldwide and is particularly popular as a form of gentle exercise and moving meditation, with benefits to mental and physical health. I found that even.

    To really benefit from Tai Chi you must first understand the Chi which is at the heart of the concept it is a word that has many meanings-air, vitality, spirit, breath, atmosphere, and circulation. The best English equivalent is intrinsic energy or vital force. Whatever Chi is doctors of Chinese medicine say it can be cultivated through practice of the stored in s spot called the tan-t’ien located exactly three inches below the navel. Once stored the Chi can be circulated by the mind throughout the body.

    The mind directs the Chi, which sinks deeply and permeates the bones, the Chi circulates freely, mobilizing the body so that it heads in the direction of the mind. If the Chi is done correctly your spirit of vitality will rise and your head will feel as if it is suspended by a string from above. It is this vital energy as manifested through TaiChi exercise, that accounts for the prolongation and rejuvenation of life. This is all according to Master William C. Chen, Of the Tai Chi School in New York. The more I read this the more I want to try it as a natural natural tranquilizer, it is also written that just ten minutes can benefit one.

    Chamomile is another stress reliever that is known by many but what are the real benefits. Chamomile has been used as a traditional medicine for thousands of years to calm anxiety and settle stomachs. In the U.S., chamomile is best known as an ingredient in herbal tea.

    Chamomile is considered a safe plant and has been used in many cultures for stomach ailments and as a mild sedative. Some studies, primarily using combinations of chamomile with other plants, show it may have health benefits. However, as with any combination product, it is hard to say that a benefit comes from any one plant. One product with chamomile and other herbal medicines has been shown to ease upset stomach, heartburn, nausea, and vomiting. Another mixture with chamomile seems to help colicky babies. There is no standard dose of chamomile. Studies have used between 900 milligrams to 1200 milligrams daily in capsule form. The most common form is tea, and some people drink one to four cups daily.

    Side effects. Most experts say chamomile is safe. It can cause drowsiness and, in large doses, vomiting. It also has the potential to trigger allergic reactions in people who are allergic to related plants in the daisy family, although such reactions are very rare. Avoid it if you are allergic to these plants: chamomile, ragweed, daisies, marigolds, or chrysanthemums. Skin creams with chamomile can cause allergic eczema and irritate the eyes. The effects of long-term chamomile use aren’t known

    Risks. Check with your doctor before using chamomile if you have any health problems. Chamomile contains a small amount of coumarin, which may have very mild blood thinning effects, but usually just in high doses for long periods of time. Stop using chamomile two weeks before surgery due to concerns about its possible interactions with anesthetic drugs.

    Chamomile flowers are a common ingredient in teas. They’re also used as a flavoring in other foods and drinks. According to Webmd.com

    This stress relief is one that most people already know is Lavender. I don’t think one should become too dependent on Lavender or any other stress reliever but one should try exercise and proper food. For short-term relief, I believe that Lavender is one of the most natural ways to get the relief you need.

    Lavender Plant

    I believe I have seen this plant in several gardens over the years and didn’t know its benefits, so that being said let’s explore the benefits.

    Lavender is a flowering plant in the mint family that’s easily identified by its sweet floral scent. It’s believed to be native to the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and India, with a history dating as far back as 2,500 years. In ancient times, lavender was used as a holy herb. Additionally, it was often used to freshen up and give a light scent to a variety of personal items, such as clothes and hair.

    If you’ve tried other sleep remedies to no avail, place a few drops of lavender essential oil on your pillow before going to sleep tonight. Just be sure not to ingest it, or any other essential oil, for that matter, as doing so may pose health risks.

    Chronic high blood pressure puts added stress on the heart, increasing the risk of health complications like stroke and heart attack. But a small 2017 study found that when 40 people inhaled diluted lavender essential oil after open-heart surgery, they reduced their blood pressure and heart rate, suggesting the oil had a positive effect on their vital signs.

    Because of the anti-inflammatory effects of lavender, it may also improve bronchial asthma. These are just some things I found that Lavender can benefit you, if you need aroma therapy, you can shop BJ GRAHAMS

    Dealing with stress is a constant battle, sometimes it can be as easy as exercise and sometimes it requires more, and that brings us to today’s suggestion for stress relief which is Holy Basil. One study found that people who took 500 milligrams (mg) of holy basil extract each day felt less anxious, stressed, and depressed. People also felt more social. Ayurvedic practitioners recommend drinking holy basil as tea using the leaves. Holy basil has been shown to have antidepressant and antianxiety properties similar to antidepressant drugs. Studies have shown that it can help people feel more social and less anxious. According to Healthline Holy Basil is available in teas and capsules.

    If you have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, all parts of the holy basil plant can help reduce your blood sugar. AnimalTrusted Source and human studies have shown that holy basil can help prevent symptoms of diabetes such as:

    Another good stress reducer is German Chamomile which is available over the counter. From my research, I found that German Chamomile, let’s get the warning out the way first German chamomile might cause sleepiness and slowed breathing. Some medications, called sedatives, can also cause sleepiness and slowed breathing. Taking German chamomile with sedative medications might cause breathing problems and/or too much sleepiness. This is not intended to replace any medications that were prescribed by your doctor.

    Now that we got that out of the way let’s explore the good effects of using German Chamomile, a wonderfully soothing oil for both the mind and body, it is especially beneficial for muscular aches and pains when used as part of a compress or massage. German Chamomile also makes an excellent addition to skincare products for dry or sensitive skin.

    With the information I found I am not sure this one is worth the risk so I will let you be the judge. German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is a flowering plant in the Asteraceae family. The herb smells slightly like an apple, which may explain its name—chamomile is Greek for “ground apple.”1

    An herbal “cure-all” used for thousands of years,2 today chamomile is a popular supplement for irritated skin, anxiety, and insomnia.1 However, research is somewhat limited. Here’s what you need to know about the potential uses and benefits of German chamomile, along with some side effects and precautions to be aware of.

    Dietary supplements are not regulated like drugs in the United States, meaning the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not approve them for safety and effectiveness before products are marketed. When possible, choose a supplement tested by a trusted third party, such as USP, ConsumerLab, or NSF. However, even if supplements are third-party tested, that doesn’t mean they are necessarily safe for all or effective in general. Therefore, it is important to talk to your healthcare provider about any supplements you plan to take and check in about potential interactions with other supplements or medications.
