Hello there, the answer is definitely.

SAD is a reaction of adrenal gland, when there is less sunshine your mood changes. Reflexology is helpful to work on the hormonal glands and will help balance the hormonal secretions in your body.

You will feel better.

But hey if you want Reflexology you cannot have just one session.. you gotta have 4 or 5 sessions, then see how you feel.

Another very good (and simpler) remedy for SAD is those lamps. You shine that lamp at yourself for 20 mins a day and your body thinks it's like sunshine and produce the right hormones again.

Good luck this winter !

I would personally, work up to the pituitary gland and then over to the Hypothalamus and Pineal gland (which are all situated on the big toe).The Pineal gland is stimulated by sunlight to suppress the melatonin production in the brain. Melatonin is a hormone that makes us feel sleepy in the evenings. Stimulating the Pineal gland may help S.A.D. I would also stimulate the Solar plexus which can help to relieve insomnia,stress and anxiety.

rubbing your foot in certain points stimulates the affected part of your body via the magic hippy line. this helps unblock the made up points of meridian located at arbitrary places which can be found on a wizards arse tattoo. ~Reflexology is extremely effective at lining the pockets of delusional scam artists that can't get a real trade.

Reflexology can't help anything other than fake or psychosomatic illnesses, since it is not a legitimate therapy of any sort.

Its seasonal AFFECTIVE disorder. "Affect" is a word used by doctors to mean mood and spirits.

Phototherapy is actually very effective, and you can buy a light bank at drugstores or COSTCO. This is a one time purchase, and you can then treat yourself daily. Isn't that far more "natural" then getting an overpriced and completely useless foot massage?
