Reflexology
Reflexology is a non intrusive complementary treatment that works along side conventional medicine. It is based on the theory that zones on the feet correspondence to areas of the body. Different weekly protocols are used to enhance chances of conception. Also includes Chakra Balancing.
Fertility and Conception
Experiencing fertility issues can be a highly stressful and tense time for both partners. There is no doubt that stress can play a significant and detrimental factor in an individuals ability to conceive.
When someone experiences anxiety and stress, the cortisol in the bloodstream rises. When this hormone is detected by receptors in the hippocampus, signals are sent to the hypothalamus. There, corticotropin-releasing hormone is secreted to activate the pituitary gland, which secretes adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) into circulation. ACTH is the signal that tells the adrenal glands to make more cortisol and release it into the bloodstream. Cortisol causes many changes in tissues throughout the body to deal with emergency situations, including raising alertness and energy levels, reducing inflammation, and lowering pain sensitivity.
Over longer periods of time, the useful short-term relationship between cortisol and stress can impair health. Constant alertness can lead to high blood pressure, while digestive and thyroid function stay suppressed, slowing metabolism and increasing fat deposits and weight gain. Since cortisol suppresses the inflammatory response, chronic stress leads to slower wound healing. Cortisol reduces levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin, causing depression and diminished feelings of well-being. Depression also increases when cortisol interferes with the release of dopamine, a chemical important for feeling pleasure or joy.
Individuals secrete different levels of cortisol in response to stress, so not everyone experiences the same negative physical effects. Relaxation tempers the effects of cortisol. It is therefore so important to reduce stress levels for couples trying to conceive.
