Reflexology is the practice of stimulating the hands and the feet as a form of therapy. observed that congestion or tension in any part of the foot mirrors congestion or tension in a corresponding part of the body.

i dont know but my wife learned it as part of her estetichian license works great on sinus headaches

It is quackery. Placebo effect is the only thing found on double blind tests. Here is a bit of reading from a sceptical side: http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/reflex.html http://skepdic.com/reflex.html Looking at the University of Pittsburg Alternative medicine website. They seemed to be supportive of reflexology but also stated that imperical studies are lacking. I challeng anyone that thinks this has a basis in reality beyond the placebo effect (it does feel good and relaxing to have your feet massaged, no question about that), then show me a well designed study that confirms it. In all fields of medicine the general public can look at journals and see what research is being done. Ideas change as proof of effectiveness or ineffectiveness is found. Best practices studies are easier to do with the computor. Try and find any research in reflexology that isn't a promotional piece. I tried. Ask why they don't want some really good studies done on it. Why aren't there any studies to see if they can improve the technique? If there are I would love to read them. James Randi would be willing to give any reflexologist a $1,000,000 if they can demonstrate that the effect is any better than placebo.

Reflexology is massage of the feet and a really good practitioner can pick up ailments in many other parts of the body. I have been to excellent practitioners and also those that just give a rather poor version of a foot massage. Each part of the foot is supposed to have a part of the body to which it is attatched (metaphorically).

Please look up sites on the intenet. Like all things be aware and follow your heart. I was fortnate to live in a community where this was the method of healing and I found it more powerful than ordinary methods of healing. It is non egotistical and requires being really centered!
