Reflexology is a safe and natural therapy that promotes well being and general good health. It's a practice that involves applying pressure to the feet, or hands with the goal of encouraging a beneficial effect on other parts of the body, or to simply improve general health.
Reflexology is based on the idea that the entire body is “reflected” in the hands and feet. That is, every part of the anatomy has a corresponding area (or “reflex zones”) in the hands and feet. Think of these areas in the hands and feet as direct connections to these corresponding parts of the anatomy. Manipulating and applying pressure to specific areas of the hand and feet can often benefit corresponding glands, organs and other areas of the body.
