Reflexology
Reflexology is essentially the process of applying pressure to titillate various nerve points of our body. Applying pressure in these particular reflex points corresponds to particular organs of the body and hence stimulates that particular organ or muscle group. Moreover, the treatment is said to induce a healing response, even alleviating some ailments.
Reflexology works in a similar way to acupressure and acupuncture. However, it is thought that there are certain points on the feet and hands that correspond to the organs and glands in the body. So by pressing and massaging these points, it can stimulate energy pathways in the body. Reflexology aims to unblock any blocked energy pathways. It allows the energy to flow freely again, which aims to restore balance to the body.
