A temple headache can involve a gallbladder meridian imbalance. This meridian passes through the temple area where temple headaches manifest. Pressing on the Gall Bladder reflex on the bottom of the feet is one way to assess and address this type of headache.

  

You can find the Gall Bladder reflex by taking the right foot into your hands and pressing into the outer, upper arch of the foot about a finger width below the ball of the foot in line with the fourth toe.(See chart below for Gall Bladder reflex on the bottom of the feet.) If there is a Gall Bladder meridian imbalance, chances are you will find tenderness in that area. You can also check the Gall Bladder meridian on the top of the foot between the fourth and fifth metatarsal bones. If you find tenderness there, chances are there is congestion in the Gall Bladder meridian that is giving rise to pain farther up the channel in the temple area of the head.

  

Reflexology's approach to alleviating the pain in the temples involves  pressing on the places that are sore on the feet such as the Gall Bladder reflex, coupled with simple dietary measures that support organ function. The goal is to flush metabolic wastes from the tissues of the feet, as well as the affected organs. You can do this by massaging these tender places in your feet, pressing on a golf ball, or getting a Reflexology session by a skilled practitioner. Adjunctive to receiving bodywork, drinking a Master Cleanse of fresh lemon juice with maple syrup and cayenne pepper in 8 ounces of water supports digestion and Gall Bladder function.  

  

To learn more about this approach to balancing the body, alleviating pain and supporting the body's processes of detoxification, we are offering a free intro to Reflexology and Detoxification this coming Friday evening, July 15th at 6pm, followed by a short weekend course in Reflexology. We are also offering a follow up Reflexology clinic on July 25th at 6 or 7:30 pm. We invite you to join us in reflexing your feet.

  

To your health and wellbeing.
