Reflexology is a powerful gentle tool that utilizes specific points on the feet/hands/ears in a series to achieve specific health goals. It is based on research that states these particular body parts are connected to certain organs and body systems.
It rests on the ancient Chinese belief in qi, or "vital energy." Qi flows in each person, and when a person feels stressed, their body blocks qi. This can cause an imbalance in the body, which leads to illness. The goal of reflexology is to keep qi flowing through the body, keeping it balanced and disease free.
Several studies indicate that reflexology may reduce pain and psychological symptoms, such as stress and anxiety, and enhance relaxation and sleep. Given that reflexology is also low risk, it can be a reasonable option if you're seeking relaxation and stress relief. In addition, it lifts mood, boosts immunity, aids in the ability to get over colds and bacterial infections, clears sinuses, corrects hormonal imbalances, boosts fertility, improves digestion, eases arthritis and back pain, along with treating nerve problems.
