Reflexology is a healing art and a form of complementary medicine that uses a special form of pressure on the feet, hands, or ears. There are areas on the feet, hands, or ears that correspond with all parts of the body including the organs, glands, muscles, and skeletal system. The left foot or hand corresponds with the left side of the body, and the right foot or hand corresponds with the right side of the body. The whole body, therefore, is represented on the feet, the hands, or ears.

Reflexology treats the body as a whole and this allows for the symptoms and the causes of those symptoms to be treated.
