Reflexology is one of the most ancient methods of treatment, which is based on influencing the reflex zones of the body. Translated from Latin, reflexology means “healing through reflexes.”
The essence of reflexology is to stimulate biologically active points on the human body that are associated with certain organs and systems. In this case, various methods of influence are used: massage, acupuncture, moxibustion, electroacupuncture, magnetic therapy and others.
Reflexology has many advantages over other treatment methods. It is safe, painless and does not require the use of medications. In addition, it can help treat many diseases such as headaches, back pain, digestive problems, cardiovascular diseases, etc.
However, like any other treatment, reflexology can have side effects. For example, if acupuncture or moxibustion is used incorrectly, it can damage the skin or cause an allergic reaction. In addition, reflexology is not suitable for the treatment of acute diseases and some chronic diseases.
Overall, reflexology is an effective treatment that can help many people. However, before starting treatment, you must consult your doctor and choose the most suitable method of exposure.
