Reflexology is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that encourages the body to balance and heal itself by applying finger or thumb pressure to specific points on the hands and feet. These points, called “reflexes,” reflect or mirror the organs and structures of the body as well as a person’s emotional health. In this way, the hands and feet act as “mini maps” or “microcosms” of the body that can be used to encourage holistic healing.
