Gout – a disease with a spiritual component. Reflexology helps.
Gout attacks people experiencing too much stress, worry, intense pressure. People feeling the weight of responsibilities sometimes fall prey to this disease. More men experience gout than women. Gout can become a chronic condition.
Gout happens in people’s lives when they feel stuck in a situation and cannot release the past. (This is one reason why gout is a disease of the elderly. They begin to hold onto the past.)
Physical situations also contribute to gout. Risk factors include kidney disease, diabetes, leukemia, radiation treatments, obesity. Diet also plays a part. People wanting to avoid gout should avoid asparagus, sardines, mushrooms, and organ meats. These foods are high in purines which contribute to a uric acid build-up in the blood.
Gout usually begins as swelling, redness, and severe joint pain. An episode comes on rapidly and lasts about a week. After a week, the gout focuses itself on the large toe, ankles, knees, wrists, hands. There may or may not be a temperature.
Gout is a form of arthritis.
There is a chance of kidney damage with gout.
It’s important to get a diagnosis from a healthcare professional.
Diet and nutrition can help decrease symptoms. Gout sufferers should avoid alcohol, lose weight gradually and restrict foods high in purines. It also helps to drink several glasses of water daily to dilute the uric acid.
Homeopathy has proven to help alleviate the symptoms. Some people rely on Acupuncture treatments.
When offering reflexology of the spirit sessions to a gout sufferer, begin with the endocrine system with a focus on the pituitary gland and the adrenals.
Work the urinary system by focusing on the kidney reflexes.
Finish the session by working the liver and the solar plexus.
Work the immune system with a focus on the spleen.
