What is REFLEXOLOGY?

Reflexology is a natural healing technique based on applying pressure to reflexes on the feet or hands. These reflexes correspond to all organs or parts of the body. A wide range of disorders can be relieved by stimulating or calming these reflexes, releasing tension, improving the flow of blood to all parts of the body, restoring natural energy flow, and encouraging the body’ s own healing system to take over.
