Reflexology can be a valuable addition to wellness, but what exactly is reflexology?

Reflexology is an ancient therapeutic pressure point technique based on the understanding that certain parts of the body, referred to as microsystems, reflect the whole. It involves applying alternating pressure with the hands to specific points on the feet, hands, ears, or face that can affect various organs and parts of the body.

Reflexology balances the nervous system by stimulating  the nerve endings.
