Albuquerque, NM (PRWEB) November 19, 2008 — Reflexology is 93% effective in its application to 78 physical and mental conditions. This finding comes from a year-long analysis of 168 studies from twenty-three countries, recently presented by Barbara & Kevin Kunz. This breakthrough study by Kunz & Kunz documents research-based evidence which advocates the efficiency of reflexology. |

As documented in the Kunz & Kunz work, evidence from research supports the use of reflexology to pursue what has been described by the National Council of Complementary and Alternative Medicine of the NIH as a set of “master health goals: “enhance physical and mental health and wellness manage pain and other symptoms, disabilities, and functional impairment have a significant impact on a specific disease or disorder prevent disease and empower individuals to take responsibility for their health reduce selected health problems of specific populations.
Evidence-Based Reflexology provides research detailing results in addressing health goals as well as the frequency and duration with which the reflexology technique is successfully applied. For someone facing a health challenge or seeking wellness, Evidence-Based Reflexology provides a perspective about what to expect from reflexology work. Evidence-Based Reflexology shows that individuals can be empowered to participate in their own wellness through self-help use of reflexology work. A FEW OF THE RESULTS REPORTED ARE: “For special populations, research cited by Kunz and Kunz shows that reflexology makes a difference. For women giving birth, pain and labor times are reduced. Anxiety and depression are reduced for postpartum women. For those receiving hemodialysis, reflexology work improves the kidney’s functions with changes in physiologic measures: an increase in red blood cells (to combat anemia concerns), increase in lymphocytes (to help fight infection), and enhances disposal of waste products. For those with diabetes, research shows that reflexology work reduces physiologic measures for diabetics and is an effective treatment for type II diabetes mellitus. Neuropathy and blood flow to the feet are also improved.” MORE ABOUT THE WORK OF BARBARA & KEVIN KUNZ: |

Dear Barbera and Kevin.
I would be very grateful if you could advise me with regard to the following:
I trained as a Reflexologist several years ago, but did not take up practice due to ill health, however, my 89 year old mum is currently in hospital, as she is in end stage heart and kidney failure. She has a lot of oedema in her feet, ankles and legs, which is being treated with diuretics. Mum also has high blood pressure, atrial fibrilation, mitral valve stenosis( which can cause sudden death) and dementia.
Her consultant has told me that he might have to withdraw all diuretic treatment if it dries her kidneys out too much (or pushes her further into failure), there is no further treatment option.
Mum takes various medications for her conditions.
Do you think that it would be safe to treat her with gentle Reflexology treatments, or could it make her conditions worse?
Many thanks for your kind attention.
Colleen Butler.
