STEP 8 – BABY REFLEXOLOGY

broken image

Reflexology is the application of pressure to different system zones that can support a physical change to the body.

Using Essential Oils with reflexology on baby's feet can magnify the benefits as it brings the body into balance. Start with a gentle massage to increase the blood flow to the foot, then massage into the targeted zone. Remember to use the properly diluted amount that is safe for baby.

THE ZONES:

1 – head / teeth area

2 – sinuses

3 – solar plexus

4 – upper abdominal area

5 – lower abdominal area

6 – pelvic area

7 – spine

The solar plexus, as known as the celiac plexus, is often referred to as the center of emotions.

TIPS

• Work on reflexology during a routine massage time with your baby.

• Apply reflex points when baby is nursing or drinking her bottle.

• Reflex points can become tender when the immune system is working harder.

• Use reflexology one to two times a week.
