What is The Ancient Healing Technique of Reflexology?

Reflexology, often coupled with massage, is a therapeutic method that involves the application of pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and ears. These points are believed to correspond to different body parts and organs, creating a map of sorts. The practice purports that manipulating these points can help promote health in related areas of the body and overall well-being.

A Journey Back in Time

Delving into the annals of history, evidence of reflexology can be traced back to Ancient Egypt. Pictographs from the era depict individuals working on others' feet and hands, showcasing the relevance of this therapeutic technique even then. Ancient Chinese and Japanese cultures also valued reflexology and made it a part of their health practices, crediting it for promoting energy flow and correcting imbalances in the body.

Over time, reflexology traveled across continents and evolved. In the early 20th century, it gained considerable momentum in the west, all thanks to Dr. William Fitzgerald, the "father of reflexology." He carefully studied reflexology's principles, dividing the body into 'zones,' correlating them to specific areas on the feet and hands. His research set the foundation for modern reflexology as we know it.
