Reflexology
Reflexology is a science and an art based on the principle that the body is reflected in reflex points on the hands and feet. By applying specific pressure to these reflexes we can bring about healing and body homeostasis in a safe and natural way.
The oldest known documentation about reflexology was only discovered in 1979. It is a scene engraved in the tomb of Ankhmahor, an Egyptian physician who was the second most influential official after the king. This dates back to 2,500 B.C. Relexology has stood the test of time and many cultures around the world have used some forms of this therapy.
