What is Foot Reflexology?
A reflexology treatment aims to restore the body’s natural balance. In this busy world, we spend a lot of time on our feet and they take a daily pounding. We put our feet under a lot of pressure and never give them a thought until they start hurting. This impact is felt throughout the whole body and can even lead to a variety of health concerns. One of those concerns may be pain in your feet.
The feet have 26 bones and over 7,000 nerve endings per foot.
When you go to the Dr., they may check your reflexes. By slightly hitting the knee, your foot kicks out. That is a reflex. We have reflexes that correspond to every organ and system within our body. These reflexes are all over the body. The main areas which are worked during a Reflexology treatment are the feet, hands, ears, and scalp read more here

Many people start the new year with improving their health. An important first step is to detoxify the body. The lymphatic system is one of the ways that the toxins are taken out of the body. The lymph travels alongside the circulatory system.

It is a network of tissues, vessels, organs and lymph nodes which move a fluid called ‘lymph’ through the body. Lymphatic fluid is composed of white blood cells and chyle which is fluid from the intestines.

Reflexology is a healing modality that uses light to moderate pressure on specific reflex points on the feet, hands or ears. The body has reflex areas that correspond to every organ, muscle, nerve and glad. By stimulating the reflexes, our body relaxes. When the body is relaxed, it can more easily heal itself. Reflexology also helps to balance all systems in your body.
Reflexology uses specific techniques to help relieve tension, improve blood circulation and assist in bringing the body into a star of relaxation. One hour of Reflexology, is equivalent to 16 hours of sleep.
“Two bad feet with lots of pain. I tried all kinds of therapies and they did not work. Lynn came to my rescue. I felt relief after the first treatment. I received a total of 4 treatments. It is unbelievable. Wow! Now I have new feet to walk with. I cannot thank her enough. She is awesome.” Andre G. Calgary.
Having reflexology stimulates the 4,000 nerves we have on our feet plus relaxing all the muscles there as well. Reflexology helps retrain these muscles to relax. When the tightness is released, the foot can work the way it is meant to work. I work the bottom, top, inside and outside of the foot, plus the leg and around the entire knee.
When a client comes for a Reflexology treatment, we talk about what is going on in their body. One of my suggestions is to use Essential Oil on the bottom of their feet. It is readily absorbed and goes to the part of the body needing assistance.
I use doTerra essential oils. They are 100% natural and safe. There is nothing added to their oils. They are Certified Pure Tested Grade. Each bottle has the batch number of the bottom. You can look up to see which tests have been done and the results of the test. What company does this? I am so impressed with doTerra.
I love and use all their oils, so it was difficult to choose only 5 oils.
Frankincense – Is known as ‘The King of Oils’ So many ‘anti’ agents such as anti-infection, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and so much more. It is the first oil that I put on my clients feet because it pulls the other oils that I put on their feet into the body.
As some of you know who have received a treatment from me in the past, you have your choice of what I put on your feet during the treatment. It is so dry here in Alberta, we need some kind of moisture on the bottom of our feet during a mobile reflexology treatment. One of the choices is a Black Poplar Balm that I make. This is what the bud from the Black Poplar bud looks like.
The Black Poplar trees are all over Alberta. So, I pick the buds from the Black Poplar tree. The sap from the buds is one of the ingredients from the balm. By putting it on the bottom of your feet, it is absorbed to the rest of your body. The sap has the same properties as aspirin.
Aspirin goes where it is needed in your body. The most common complaint is pain. So, you can put it on the body where there is pain. By putting it on the bottom of the feet, it is readily absorbed goes where it is needed in the body.
My most profound testimonial is from a lady with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. She explained to me that for 25 years, she had what felt like electric shocks going up her arm. She had trouble sleeping and even doing everyday tasks because of the feeling from the Carpal Tunnel.
She put the balm on her wrist that had she had the pain in. She put it on every day. I saw her two weeks later and she was so excited and said, “Lynn, you are not going to believe it, but the pain is gone” 25 years of pain gone. The nerves are damaged, so she needs surgery.
Several years ago, I had a skiing accident and did damage to my shoulder. Every so often, my shoulder lets me know that it is not happy with pain. I put some balm on my shoulder and within a few minutes the pain is gone and gone for over 5 hours.
It is a wonderful moisturizer. I use it on my arms and legs.
If you are interested in having a treatment with the Black Poplar Balm or purchasing a bottle, you can call me, Lynn Paulhus at 403-816-9518

We have reflexes on the bottom of the feet that correspond to every organ gland muscle and nerve. So the two reflexes that help with immune and the thymus gland or the ileocecal gland, where the small and large intestines meet. Another tip… I use doTERRA On Guard essential oil.
“doTERRA On Guard, a proprietary essential oil blend, provides a natural and effective alternative for immune support when used internally.* On Guard protects against environmental and seasonal threats with essential oils known for their positive effects on the immune system when ingested.* doTERRA On Guard can be taken internally on a daily basis to maintain healthy immune function and support healthy cardiovascular function.” (doTERRA On Guard)
It helps to BOOST your immune system. You can diffuse it or you can put a drop in your hands and breathe it in or you can put a drop on the bottoms of your feet and it’s soaked in through the reflexes and the pours and the nerves of your feet goes to all parts of your body again to boost your immune system.
I am always interested to hear of anything that can aid in the healing process which I can pass on to my clients. Two years ago, I heard about VOXX products.
VOXX HPT which stands for Human Performance Technology has products such as socks, insoles and patches that can be worn that are all backed by science and research. Users can’t stop talking about their new pain-free life and incredible increase in energy that they feel. Read more here…
