Scientific Studies Show Efficacy of Reflexology in Infantile Colic

 

The application of a child reflexology protocol on the plantar reflexes of the nervous and digestive 

systems of infants with colic significantly reduces their daily crying and irritability, thus minimizing the anguish and distress of their parents or caregivers.

This is demonstrated by several recent scientific studies.

The reflexology protocol should be applied by a certified professional reflexologist.
