Reflexology should be used in addition to other medical treatments. It shouldn't be used as a replacement.

While the technique and technique of reflexology foot massages dates back to ancient times throughout Egypt and Asia, the more modernized versions are being introduced into holistic healing centers all around the nation. While there are modernized methods, several things in this treatment have not changed. Focused pressure, also referred to as "reflex" are placed on specific points in the foot. Each area, or zone, on the foot is targeted to relieve pain in different areas in the body. There is even a reflexology sandal developed from the Japanese company Kenkoh, which has been studied and positively reviewed by Kyoto University, in Japan.

@wipeout249 sorry to burst your bubble, but there's a lot of shit out there that science can't prove....

[wipeout249]

@Luubelaar there is no proof, aside from the placebo effect, that reflexology works. it doesn't even make sense that you can heal the body by massaging a foot. it falls in the same group as astrology and alchemy

[Luubelaar]

@wipeout249 - Modern medicine can't explain why many of these old techniques actually work, but many of them do. But feel free to make drug companies wealthier if that's what you prefer.

@wipeout249 Why do people assume that modern science has to back up ancient medicines and treatments to be good. Notice the terms, modern, and ancient. One came before the other and that one is struggling to prove itself again.

[wipeout249]

no science whatsoever to back it up.... another fraud treatment
