Thickened Nails and Skin – Spiritual Protection Issues Need to be Worked Through
This is protection, pure and simple. So, what is being protected?
Secrets? Thoughts? Actions? Beliefs?
It’s not important to know.
So, what are you seeing? Whatever you observe, no matter how unsightly, or benign it appears, you need to persuade your client partner to visit a podiatrist to treat the physical issues. As feet age, podiatrists become more important. There comes a point at which the nails need to be professionally trimmed regularly and the issues presenting themselves in the nails must be addressed.
Spiritual protection issues need to be worked through…especially in the older person because issues affecting the nails don’t heal overnight. It takes regular visits in addition to what the physician or podiatrist has prescribed to work through them.
Encourage your client partner to cleanse the colon and then the liver. As always, begin with a colon cleanse first before proceeding to the liver. These cleanses are important because your client may not see any improvement for months and a colon and then liver cleanse can speed up this process somewhat. Cleaning out the body is the first step in a journey to healthy skin and nails.
Where the thickness occurs on the foot offers clues to the issues beyond the physical disease. Look at the foot. Where is the thickened skin? What body part or system is represented? For example, if a person’s thyroid is out of balance, there will be a thickened place or a callus in that reflex area.
Finally, as a person’s life (lifestyle, beliefs, health) begins to change, you may see feet with peeling skin. Hurray! (Providing this is the change s/he wants.)
When working the feet of a person with thickened nails and skin, reflex the points that represent the problem area. For example, if the thickened skin is in the area of the thyroid, work that area as well as the endocrine system.
SYSTEMS TO WORK: Work the systems related to whatever diagnosis the primary medical care person has given to your client partner. Work the immune system, nervous system, urinary system, endocrine system, digestive system, liver and solar plexus.
ESSENTIAL OILS: myrrh, lemon, frankincense, tea tree, lemongrass, oregano, wintergreen, peppermint, tangerine, lavender.
Many conditions exist for which Reflexology for the Spirit is appropriate. However, there is much more information to share with you. When a client partner comes to you with an issue which you feel may have spiritual layers, contact me and I’ll write about it in a post for you.
Thank you for reading this blog. It is an honor and a pleasure to serve you in this way. As always, this post comes to you from my healing space in scenic, downtown Woodstock, NY.

Swollen Ankles and Feet can be Troublesome to Your Client Partners
Focus warm ups on the swollen areas in addition to your regular warm ups. Schedule appointments later in the day when edema sufferers seem to have the most problems.
Try to get your client partner to consult a medical professional. Often, people don’t realize these issues can be symptoms of systemic problems needing medical attention. You’ll offer relief and solace to the spirit and you are going to reduce swelling but
a physician needs to give a diagnosis.
The underlying cause of edema needs to be addressed.
SYSTEMS TO WORK: warm ups to the swollen areas, urinary system, immune system, nervous system, digestive system with emphasis on the liver, circulatory system, and the solar plexus.
ESSENTIAL OILS: tangerine, geranium, German chamomile, wintergreen, peppermint, lavender, grapefruit, helichrysum.
Thanks again for reading the blog. Our next post is the final one in this portion of the book/blog. It will focus on Thickened Nails and Skin. After the post on the Thickened Nails and Skin, we’ll be shifting gears to focus on other factors important to a Reflexology for the Spirit practitioner.

Sweaty Feet can be very “trying” for a Reflexologist.
For starters, the natural inclination is to just not touch the feet. Don’t worry. Use an antibacterial spray on the feet to clean them off. Wear gloves if you are worried that you’re going to “catch” something.
Remember this: A person with sweaty feet is a person whose Adrenal glands are in serious passing gear.
There are several things your client partner can do. We can’t prescribe these things but it’s nice to know what they are: soak the feet in salt water to change the bacteria, rub the feet with alcohol and let it dry, change shoes and socks often, and spritz with cleansing spray whenever possible.
Suggest a visit to a podiatrist to make certain there are no infections, etc. Whatever the condition, you still have a person with serious spiritual conditions needing your attention regularly.
SYSTEMS TO WORK: adrenals, nervous system, immune system, urinary system, digestive system with emphasis on the liver and the solar plexus.
ESSENTIAL OILS: bergamot, Roman chamomile, frankincense, lavender, marjoram, wintergreen, myrrh, rosemary, sandalwood, thyme, ylang ylang, and spruce.
Thanks again for reading the blog. Our next post will focus on Swollen Ankles and Feet.

More About Allergies and Reflexology for the Spirit
Be aware of the products used to clean the home, pets, car, and workplace. Products should be used that come under the category of “hypoallergenic”. It won’t do much good to wash sheets and blankets in hot water with a detergent containing scents and coloring that create allergic reactions.
Finally, your client partner needs to try to resolve issues with persons causing problems. Your client partner will then have more energy to deal with the other allergens in life.
Often, it’s necessary to use the services of an otolaryngologist and an allergist as well. Desensitizing treatments can be very effective for persons suffering with contact allergies. One tried and true natural method is allergy shots.
This may seem like a lot to do. But, over time, a better quality of life will emerge. The purchase of over-the-counter preparations to deal with constant allergy symptoms will decrease. Life will, hopefully, improve.
AREAS TO WORK: respiratory system, immune system, sinuses, digestive system, endocrine system, liver and solar plexus.
ESSENTIAL OILS: German or Roman chamomile, wintergreen, lavender.
That completes the section on allergies. Our next section will be on ankle breaks and sprains – both very spiritual events.
Thanks for reading this blog.
