Reflexology is an alternative medical practice that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears. It is based on the premise that such work on these areas can cause physical changes in related areas of the body by stimulating energy and releasing blockages. While reflexologists claim it can provide benefits such as reducing stress, pain, and boosting immunity, there is little scientific evidence that reflexology is effective. Risks include exacerbating existing medical conditions.
