Definition och Betydelse av "reflexology"

What is "reflexology"?

Reflexology is a type of alternative therapy that involves applying pressure to specific areas on the feet, and sometimes the hands, to encourage relaxation, relieve tension, and improve overall health. Practitioners believe that these areas, known as reflex points, relate to different organs and systems in the body. By pressing on these points, reflexology aims to activate the body's natural healing processes, reduce stress, and improve well-being. While reflexology is widely practiced and appreciated for its relaxation benefits, its effectiveness in treating specific medical conditions is debated in standard medicine due to the lack of scientific evidence supporting its claims.
