Reflexology: Involves the manipulation
of specific areas on the feet — and sometimes the hands —
with the goal of bringing the body into homeostasis, or balance.
According to reflexologists, distinct regions of the feet
correspond to particular organs or body systems, and the
stimulation of the appropriate region is intended to eliminate
energy blockages thought to produce pain or disease in the
associated structures. The arrangement of reflexology areas on
the feet mirrors the organization of the body to the extent that
organs on the right side of the body are represented on the
right foot, and similarly with the left.
