Reflexology is the scientific art of applying specific touch techniques to the feet, hands, and outer ears, where theory suggests there is a pressure map resembling the shape of the human body which corresponds to all body parts. By applying nurturing touch in specific ways, using thumb, finger, and hand techniques, a wide range of health benefits have been reported. One primary benefit of reflexology is relaxation.
