How to treat oedema with reflexology

How would a reflexologist treat oedema in the lower extremities? Which reflexes would need to be stimulated besides the kidneys?

And how would a reflexologist treat eczema on the shins?

How would those two conditions be explained according to Traditional Chinese Medicines. 

Thank you,

Johan harlaar

you would need to pressure point the lower body area, the lymph nodes in the groin and also the kidneys.  Eczema is best treated by an aromatherapist in my experience.

Chinese therapies work on the elements and the meridians of the body so am not quite sure what this question is about!  Except of course the reflexes use the meridians as energy channels.

Thanks Penny
