Reflexology is a holistic treatment based on the principle that all the parts and organs of the body have reflex points in the feet. Stimulation of these reflex points improves the energy flow to the corresponding body parts and therefore improves the functioning of these organs and helps the body to achieve a balance.

In the western world reflexology has only become popular in the late 20th century, but the practice of reflexology goes back thousands of years and the earliest documentations and records have been found in ancient Egypt, as well as India, China and Japan.
