Can #Reflexology Support #Skin and #Digestion Functions? #DigestiveHealth #HealingPlaceEnergySchool #ReflexologyNearMe

Yes! Reflexology can help to balance the energy in your digestive and skin systems for healthy function.

Our skin is our largest organ. It protects us from elements, bacteria, and toxins entering our bodies and keeps our organs from falling out. Studies have shown that many factors, including stress and gut inflammation, can damage the protective functions of the skin.  

How Good Digestion Function Affects Skin Production

Hydrochloric Acid (HCL) plays an essential role in digestion and immunity. It helps break down protein, absorb vital nutrients, and kill harmful viruses and invasive bacteria that can upset your digestive process. If you have low HCL (hypochlorhydria), it can complicate the digestion process, which can lead to nutritional deficiencies.

A weakened digestive system can lead to breaking down the skin barrier, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, or dermatitis. Signs of a weakened digestive system include constant heartburn, acid reflux, bloating, gas, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, or a burning sensation after eating.

Knowing what you eat is vital to keeping you and your skin healthy. Learning what foods you are sensitive to and eliminating them will help to reduce irritating skin problems.

What Happens When Food Just Sits In Your Stomach?

Food that lingers or won’t digest will sit in your small intestines and produce toxic by-products. One sign that food is not digesting is when you can still taste food in a “burp” hours after eating. The buildup of toxins in an unhealthy colon is linked to skin disorders. The key is quick digestion to maintain optimal health and healthy skin.

Certain foods and beverages, including spicy, greasy, refined, processed, caffeine, sugar, and chocolate, can cause inflammation that irritates the digestive tract. If you have a compromised digestive system, these foods will accelerate the problem further.

Too Little Hydrochloric Acid?

Another digestive problem that can occur when food can’t digest is caused by low hydrochloric acid (HCL or hypochlorhydria) production. Nutrients can’t be adequately extracted from foods and are absorbed through the blood to feed cells. Undigested food sits in the small intestines, where it can ferment, producing hydrogen and carbon dioxide, leading to gas, bloating, and other problems.

Too much Hydrochloric Acid?

The reverse problem can happen when the body makes too much acid (Hyperchlorhydria), which becomes a digestive complication when insufficient HCL creates too many gas bubbles. The acid from the stomach causes acid reflux or heartburn to elevate into the esophagus and throat.

Managing Hydrochloric Acid Production

We can manage many of these digestive conditions by increasing or decreasing the production of HCl. Most people don’t produce enough HCl primarily due to poor diet, and this problem worsens as we age because we make even less HCL.

Simple Ways to Increase Your HCl

Making simple diet changes can usually help improve acid levels by adding more helpful foods into your diet:

• Wild-caught salmon, albacore tuna, avocados and sprouted nuts
• Foods high in omega-3 oils and fiber
• At least 64 oz of filtered water a day
• Yogurt with active cultures or take a supplement

Eat less harmful foods:

• Alcohol, soda, sugary fruit beverages
• Trans-fat
• Refined sugars and artificial sweeteners (sugar encourages bacterial growth)
• Nightshade vegetables, tomatoes, eggplants, and potatoes
• Simple (refined) carbohydrates and wheat
• Peanuts, sodium nitrite foods, MSG
• Some common sense here: avoid any foods that give you heartburn

Talk to your healthcare provider about getting a test for low HCL. You can also learn how Reflexology can balance the energy in the digestive and integumentary (skin) systems.

How Does Reflexology Support Your Digestive and Integumentary Systems

Reflexology is an alternative therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears to promote relaxation and improve overall health and well-being. Foot reflexology can help improve digestive function in the following ways:

1. Stimulation of reflex points: Reflexology involves applying pressure to specific reflex points on the feet, hands, or ears, which correspond to different organs and systems in the body. Focusing on the digestive reflex points helps to improve digestion. 
2. Relaxation: Reflexology promotes relaxation, reducing stress and tension in the body. Chronic stress can impair digestion by activating the “fight or flight” response, diverting blood flow from the digestive system and slowing down digestive enzyme production.
3. Improves circulation: Reflexology improves circulation by increasing blood flow to the digestive organs by enhancing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to promote healthy digestion.
