Reflexology - What is it?  

Reflexology is a form of therapy where pressure is applied to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears. These points correspond to different body areas, organs, and systems, and stimulating them can enhance overall health and well-being by promoting relaxation and energy balance.

Reflexologists utilize Reflex Maps to identify areas requiring attention. Zone therapy categorizes the body into zones that extend from the head to the toes, with reflex points associated with these zones. Clearing these points may facilitate natural healing and energy flow. The benefits of reflexology include stress reduction, pain alleviation, and improved circulation, among others. Reflexology is typically safe when conducted by a certified practitioner, but it is advisable to consult a physician if there are any concerns about potential conflicts.
