Reflexology
In reflexology, you can very simply say that you stimulate different zones/points under the feet which represent different organs and body parts. If any point is sore, it is said to be crystals/slag that you simply press away. Reflexology is a natural treatment method that helps the body to heal itself.

I myself have been to Gunnel Engelmark in Jokkmokk who provides reflexology according to the Ersdal method. She is basically a trained nurse reflexologist lymphatic massage therapist and biotherapist. The basis of the Ersdal method is that you treat the whole, that is, all the body's systems: blood and lymph circulation hormonal balance nervous system digestive and excretory organs. A very powerful treatment method in my own personal opinion. A treatment takes about 50 - 60 minutes and then she goes through the whole body. firmly under the feet.

I have received help with my bad sinuses, stress symptoms of various kinds, PMS back pain. Due to a large fibroid, I have bled heavily during certain periods and then also weekly. Devastating for the iron stores in the body. Then I went to Gunnel and she has helped me so that my periods come regularly and I have bled for almost a week. Absolutely fantastic. That's why I have tried to walk 4 - 5 times / year to maintain my body. After a treatment I often get a little frozen tired and have to run to the toilet.

Reflexology is classified as quackery. There was also acupuncture in the past but not today. I would never say that you should not seek help from traditional healthcare because we sometimes have to. But imagine if it and some of the alternative healthcare treatment methods could be combined, what a gain for both the patient, the healthcare and society in the end. That is my complete conviction.

So if you have severe menstrual cramps, PMS, hormonal imbalance, sinus problems, stress-related symptoms, try reflexology.

The 24/7 Sensitive Series is born - When a customer made a difference

When Johan and Anna-Lena, who founded c/o GERD, received an email from a customer, they felt that, well, now we have to do something about this. We had a fragrance-free product in our range at the time – many who had babies bought it and used it as an all-round product. The email we received was from a woman who had severe eczema on her hands and she had tried everything.
