Reflexology is an alternative medicine involving the physical act of applying pressure to the feet, hands, or ears with specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion. Reflexology is simply the method of using the thumb and finger to apply pressure on the reflexes that correspond to an organ and parts of the body as found in the feet and hands. By means of this touching therapy, any part of the body that is the source of pain, illness, or potential debility can be strengthened through the application of pressure at the respective foot or hand location. 

What does Foot Reflexology treat:
Reflexology promotes healing by stimulating the nerves in the body and encouraging the flow of blood. Reflexology therapy are also recommended for controlling the muscle pain associated, relieving breathing difficulty caused by tightness in the muscles. Reflexology applied properly can alleviate allergy symptoms, as well as poor memory, back pain, and chronic fatigue. Foot reflexology is effective in bringing about a deep state of relaxation. Stress can greatly affect the immune system and leave one vulnerable to serious illnesses such as cancer and reflexology can help in reducing the stress level.
