Reflexology

Reflexology is a type of alternative therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears, which are believed to correspond to different body organs and systems. The theory behind reflexology posits that this pressure stimulation can promote health in the related organs through energetic pathways. Reflexologists use specific finger/thumb manipulations to stimulate reflex points, with the goal of triggering the body’s natural healing process. Although it’s often used for relaxation and stress relief, reflexology is also used as a complementary therapy in managing various health conditions, including headaches, sinus problems, hormonal imbalances, and chronic pain. However, clinical evidence affirming its therapeutic efficacy is limited and it’s not recognized as a medical treatment by all health professionals.
