2. Reflexology is an alternative therapy used for bringing healing and balance to the body and the various systems of the body, including the digestive, lymphatic, endocrine, Respiratory, Reproductive and immune systems. A practitioner of reflexology applies pressure to a reflex point on the foot, hands and ears which sends a signal via the nervous system for the body to relax and heal. Reflexology has no side effects and is used to strengthen the body as a whole.
Reflexology is based on the premise that there are reflexes in the feet, hands and ears that correspond to all parts of the body and that stimulating these reflexes brings about physiological changes. Reflexology is an ancient healing technique, and evidence that reflexology was first practiced around 2500 to 2300 B.C. was found in the form of carvings on the wall of the tomb of an Egyptian doctor.
