The use of Reflexology and Clomid

[shortie]

Hi, I have a client who has pco's and although i have managed to help regulate her periods, she has recently been out on Clomid to help her ovulate and thus help her to conceive. She would still like to continue with Reflexology treatments - however i'm a little confused as i wrongly thought Clomid helped to increase the number of eggs released and reflexology would counteract this by re-balancing the body to produce just one - however have since been told reflexology is only an issue if a client is on clomid and ivf.
My question is anyone else treated a similar client and do you agree its absoultly fine to treat such a client?

In polycystic ovarian syndrome there are cysts in the ovaries, folicles are poorly produced and no one egg develops fully. clomid is a common treatment for this condition.
The aim of reflexology is to regulate the periods, balance the endocrine system and encourage relaxation. The three main glands to concentrate on are the pituitary, pancreas (often clients are given metformin to regulate insulin control and it has been thought of as a insulin resistance disorder) and the adrenal glands for stress.
The whole of the endocrine system should be treated to regulate hormone production, hypothalmus, thyroid, thymus, adrenals, pancreas and ovaries. I would also work the solar plexus and do spine strecthing for relaxation.
good luck!

Just to air on the side of caution, as clomid is only taken for 5 days I would not work the endocrine system for those 5 days, but continue to do so after those 5 days, until day 1 of the next cycle.
