Reflexology is the massaging of feet to diagnose and cure disease.
Reflexology is based on the unsubstantiated belief that each part of each foot is a mirror site for a part of the body. As iridology maps the body with irises, reflexology maps the body with the feet , the right foot corresponding to the right side of the body and the left foot corresponding to the left side of the body. Allegedly, the ancient Chinese and Egyptians practiced reflexology and it is still very popular in Holland. Practitioners of reflexology claim that they can cure a variety of aches and pains by massaging the correct reflex point on the foot. It is said by those who practice it that reflexology can cure migraine headaches and relieve sinus problems.
