Synopsis:

11 females with climacteric syndrome were given foot reflexology for heavy bleeding focusing on all abdominal internal organs, reproduction, endocrine, and nervous system reflexes. It was found that symptoms were due to dysfunction rather than a constitutional problem, such as climacteric dysfunction of stomach, intestine, or hypertension. It was noted reflexing too much on the uterine area would cause more bleeding.

Conclusion:

	Foot reflexology was found to be effective for the relief of menstrual pain and heavy blood flow.
