What Is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a therapeutic practice that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and ears, which correspond to different organs and systems within the body. Originating from ancient Chinese and Egyptian civilisations, reflexology is based on the belief that these pressure points can help stimulate the body's natural healing processes, improve circulation, and reduce stress. Practitioners use their thumbs and fingers to massage these areas in a precise and systematic manner. Reflexology is often used to alleviate a variety of conditions, including tension headaches, digestive issues, and hormonal imbalances, while also promoting overall relaxation and well-being.
