history
How does Reflexology work?
It is believed in ancient China that different points of the body can be treated through reflex points in these areas. It has become a very popular therapy for relieving different kinds of pains and stress. Massaging these points have proved to be effective to stimulate the nervous system and heal it. It is now being used along with western medicines to improve health and well being.
- The body is divided into 10 longitudinal zones—five on each side of the body.
- Each organ or part of the body is represented on the hands and feet.
