Reflexology for the Spirit and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
The best thing a person can do to prevent COPD is stop smoking and avoid environmental contaminants.
COPD is a chronic condition composed, basically, of two diseases: emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Like heart disease, COPD is slow to manifest itself. As the disease progresses, breathing becomes more difficult.
There are several things a COPD sufferer can do to make life easier. The first is to seek good quality air. Stay away from smoke-filled rooms and smoggy cities. Extreme temperatures and high altitudes should also be avoided.
Drinking plenty of fluids helps dilute the mucus. Adding a humidifier to moisten the indoor air can improve air quality as well.
COPD sufferers should protect themselves against infections. This involves avoiding people with colds and flu, frequent hand washing, getting annual flu shots, and getting a pneumonia vaccine.
COPD sufferers will benefit from exercise training which includes good breathing techniques, yoga, and regular visits to the Reflexogy for the Spirit practitioner.
When a COPD sufferer comes to your table, encourage regular visits that are within 48 hours of a yoga session. Work the respiratory system, urinary system, lymphatics, immune system, and cardiovascular system. Include the liver, solar plexus, and thymus in every session.

Reflexology for the Spirit and the Big Five
SEVERAL DISEASES STALK US ALL. Although it’s difficult to know exactly what causes them, markers exist letting us know where they fit in the overall scheme of things. Some things are certain.
Reflexology for the Spirit plays a significant part in promoting overall wellness, disease prevention, and disease management. These diseases can be prevented and/or managed with some healthy lifestyle habits. Emphasizing disease prevention and health promotion with Reflexology for the Spirit is important.
Focusing on prevention can decrease disabilities, increase the quality of life for your client partners, and reduce their health care costs.
Changing health damaging habits such as smoking, sedentary lifestyle, and poor diet can have a dramatic effect on your client partners. These changes can have a ripple effect in their communities. When you encourage your clients partners to practice disease prevention, you offer them an opportunity for a healthier future.
THESE DISEASES CHALLENGE US IN DIFFERENT WAYS BASED ON OUR AGE. Being knowledgeable of these challenges and how they present themselves to us offers valuable tools to prevent the diseases themselves. The five biggest threats to our health are:
Heart Disease,
Cancer,
Stroke,
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease,
Diabetes.
Interestingly enough, the risk factors and markers for these diseases are similar (with only a few exceptions).
THE RISK FACTORS COMMON FOR ALL FIVE DISEASES ARE ELEVATED CHOLESTEROL, POOR DIET, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, TOBACCO USE, SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE, EXCESS WEIGHT OR UNDERWEIGHT, AND DIABETES.
In the next six posts, I will explore each of these diseases and, finally, offer a summary.
