Reflexology is a difficult notion to grasp.

A natural healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands and ears and their referral areas within zone related areas, which correspond to every part, gland and organ of the body. Through application of pressure on these reflexes without the use of tools the feet being the primary area of application, reflexology relieves tension, improves circulation and helps promote the natural function of the related areas of the body. When pressure is applied to a specific part of your foot, hand or ear, a response and effect will be noticed somewhere within the related part of the body. Not only that, most Reflexologist will tell you where certain trouble spots exist in your body based on their examination of your foot. A lot of people are sceptical of this claim. Fortunately, today, we can rely on scientific empirical evidence to convince others of the validity of such claims. Since 1993, controlled reflexology studies have been conducted and published in a variety of medical journals.

The American Academy of Reflexology conducted the first study published in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Vol. 82, #6, December 1993. Dr. Terry Oleson and Bill Flocco conducted a PMS Reflexology Research study that supported the use of ear, hand and foot reflexology for the treatment of PMS. Women participants demonstrated a significant decrease in their premenstrual symptoms as compared to the placebo group.

Bill Flocco has documented over 300 case and reflexology studies from around the world. A number of these reflexology studies are what are termed, outcome studies. These studies have shown the effectiveness of reflexology on a particular health condition such as PMS, asthma or headache

The precise relationship between the ancient art practiced by the early Egyptians and reflexology as we know it today is unclear because different practices involving the manipulation of the feet to effect health have been used throughout the world. The most common theory is that the earliest form of reflexology originates in China. Many health skills in China originate from the early Taoists. There are several classic Chinese medical texts originating from this time, which note the effects of pressure point techniques.
The theory is that the discovery of pressure points took place on the battlefield. Pressure points were being used for the healing arts but were also used as a part of self-defence. Various forms of martial arts are still using these pressure points to disarm or disable their opponent. In fact, it is thought that the individual pressure points were mapped out by inflicting small stab wounds on convicted prisoners in a combination of specific points, which normally should not have been fatal. Historically, many thousands of prisoners are known to have been killed, as part of these early medical experiments.
These were based on the observations of wounded soldiers, who baffled the ancient Chinese physicians by claiming that symptoms of disease suddenly vanished after being hit by arrows or stones.
The Chinese among other Asian peoples learned by trial and error that by applying pressure to certain points on the body, pain was alleviated and on other locations also influenced the function of certain organs.
The application of pressure has become the mother of many modern therapies. Pressure points are used in acupuncture, Shiatsu and play a major part in reflexology.
