Reflexology stimulates the nervous system, endocrine system and meridians (pathways of energy flow) by using thumb and finger pressure to reflex points in the feet, hand, and ears, causing a reaction in corresponding parts of the body. This promotes relaxation and self-healing to the glands, organs, and other systems of the body as well as balancing the flow of energy. As a result, reflexology can help to eliminate toxins from the body internally as well as strengthening the immune systems to assist the body in healing on its own.
