Reflexology is the unique method of using the thumb and fingers to stimulate more than 7,200
nerve endings in each foot. These nerve endings correspond to each part of the body, including
organs and glands. Some reflexologists also work with the hands and ears. Stimulating the
appropriate region is intended to eliminate energy blockages which are thought to produce pain or
disease in related areas. Reflexology is used to prevent, rather than cure and is used to relieve a
wide array of ailments.
Origins Of Reflexology
Dr. William Fitzgerald, in his book Zone Therapy, states that "a form of treatment by means of
pressure points was practiced in India and China 5,000 years ago. However, this knowledge
seems to be lost or forgotten. Perhaps it was set aside in favor of acupuncture, which emerged
stronger from the same root. There also appears to be evidence of the use of reflexology in
Egyptian art around 2330 BC.
