"Reflexology, or zone therapy, is the practice of massaging, squeezing, or pushing on parts of the feet, or sometimes the hands and ears, with the goal of encouraging a beneficial effect on other parts of the body, or to improve general health.

There is no consensus on how reflexology is supposed to work; a unifying theme is the idea that areas on the foot correspond to areas of the body, and that by manipulating these one can improve health through one's qi.

Concerns have been raised by medical professionals that treating potentially serious illnesses with reflexology, which has no proven efficacy, could delay the seeking of help from proven conventional medicine. There is no clinical or scientific evidence that reflexology has any beneficial effect."





Do you think that there is truth to reflexology? Do parts and pressure points on your feet and hands actually have an affect on certain parts of the body?

I love it :love:

Give my poor feet a message about three times a week. It relaxes you so much! There is 100% truth to it in terms of it relaxing and improving health, not too sure about each part of the body connected to the foot. It's said to help improve the movement of the life force, or Qi, in your body. I think it started out in Egypt or something (read a bit about it ages ago)

I absolutely love having my feet massaged. Much prefer it to a back massage or whatever. My feet and my head. It's soooo relaxing.

After a long day's work, I have a shower and play "beautician" with the kids. I am the client and lotion dispenser, and they are the beauticians. Each one gets a foot.. and many times, they put me to sleep and proceed to raid the fridge and sweets box. :hyper:
