Reflexology

Reflexology is an alternative health practice that has come under some recent scrutiny as to its effectiveness. Reflexology practitioners claims that each organ system of the body can be mapped to a zone on the foot. They claim that any disease or disorder in one of those organ systems can be detected in those zones. They further claim that that stimulation of those zones with something like a foot massage can help the disease process. The most recent meta-analyses of the clinical trials that have tested reflexology have all concluded that reflexology does not work. That does not mean that a good foot massage is not relaxing and can help people that way.
