Reflexology and seborrhhea?

[ria <3]

[sm=scratchchin.gif] Hello, thought someone might be able to give me a bit of advice about a client. I have recently qualified as a Reflexologist and I am seeing a client that I practised on whilst training. She has major allergy problems which were abating nicely, however her skin, which has always been problematic allergy-wise, has broken out in an itchy rash, everywhere but her face. The rash could be felt just under the skin after our last treatment. I reassured her that the rash was a sign that her body was ridding itself of stuff that it couldnt cope with and that, IMO, I thought that it was a healing crisis. She was quite happy with this, but now rash is much worse and due to her constant scatching, is blistering and weeping!!!!! Help!![sm=sad2.gif]

Should I continue treating if she is willing or let everything settle down, she is due to see her G.P today and I've asked her to keep me informed and to mention to her G.P that she's been having Reflexology.

I know that there is a lot of good advice out there, thanks in anticipation!!

Hi Elysian,

I think you've just about summed-up the situation with you client vewry nicely and are proceeding in the 'correct' manner.

If your client wants more treatments then please give them too her. I feel sure that your treatments and concern for her welfare will help her to overcome her current problems very soon.

Thanks for that Paul! She does want to continue, unfortunately, when she told her G.P about receiving Reflexology he dismissed it as " Thats not scientific"
I needed someone with experience and wisdom to advise me, you,ve boosted my confidence! Thank you[sm=bouncy.gif]

It may not be scientific, Elysian, but if it's helping - then it works!!!

The doctor did not rule it out-of-hand so carry on with your good work for as long as your client wants to.
