Reflexology
Reflexology is an ancient form of holistic treatment, with links to Egyptian,
Chinese, Japanese and Indian cultures. It involves stimulating the nerve
connections in the sole of the foot to balance and restore energy to various
organs in the body.
Reflexology as a science which deals with the principle that there are
reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands,
organs and parts of the body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can
help many health problems in a natural way, a type of preventative maintenance.
The idea behind Reflexology was practiced as early as 2330 B.C. by the
Egyptian culture. Reflexology as we know it today was first researched
and developed by Eunice Ingham, who published her first book on the subject
in 1938.
