This is an alternative medicine practice known as "reflexology" or "zone therapy." Although there is a lack of clinical evidence to support medical efficacy, there is much information available in books and on the web. Most of these sources will include a "map" of the feet and hands, revealing the purported pressure points and their corresponding body parts and/or disease processes. You'll find information on testosterone as well.

You're reading I've heard that stimulating certain pressure points on the foot can raise levels of human growth hormone and potentially increase height. Where are these pressure points and how should they be stimulated? Is there also a pressure point for testosterone?

I have researched it to some extent. I'll do some more in-depth research. So far I haven't found much. Do you personally know where any of these hormonal pressure points are?

The pressure points corresponding to the pituitary gland are thought to be located on the center underside of each big toe. The precise location may vary slightly, depending upon the "map" you're viewing.

Thanks. I actually found that out by researching just a little while ago. I also found out about the point that corresponds to the adrenal and thyroid glands. The pituitary gland releases estrogen too though. If I massage that pressure point, will it increase my estrogen levels? I only want more testosterone and HGH.
