A number of reflexes to the lymph glands can be worked on the back of the hands, located over the wrists and on the top of the foot. The spleen is also an important reflex because the spleen itself produces lymphocytes. Associated reflexes that should be worked are those for the endocrine glands, circulation and liver. In the case of infectious diseases many of which occur in childhood such as measles, mumps and chickenpox the infection will normally run its course and as a result confer immunity to further bouts. To minimize discomfort and aid the recovery the reflex for the brain, solar plexus circulation, endocrine glands and liver should be massaged. The same applies to most infectious conditions even autoimmune diseases where the antibodies attack their own body cells. In these cases the lymph gland reflexes are particularly important.
