What do You Think About Reflexology?

I've read about it and tried it a couple times and it seemed to relax me but i read that its not an actual alternative medicine. Has it been proven to work?

1. I think you need to learn reflexology from some good teacher. Reflexology is an alternative medicine therapy and is used for healing a lot of ailments. Reflexology is the application of pressure, stretch and movement to the feet and hands to effect corresponding parts of the body. Reflexologists view the feet and hands as a mirror image of the body. By applying technique a reflexologist can break up patterns of stress in other parts of the body. Reflexology can be used to help restore and maintain the body’s natural equilibrium. This gentle therapy encourages the body to work naturally to restore its own healthy balance. Reflexology has been shown to be effective for: Back Pain Migraine Infertility Arthritis Sleep disorders Hormonal imbalances Sports injuries Digestive disorders Stress-related conditions A treatment session usually lasts for about one hour. A course of treatment may be recommended depending on your body’s needs.
2. Yes. it is effective. But only with a trained individual. It can be mind blowing.
3. Reflexology is a holistic therapy, treating the whole body of the individual. As such each person will need the treatment tailoring to their specific needs and problems, this makes it very difficult for the benefits of reflexology to be "proven" in a scientific way. I would repeat what the other responder said that you need to learn or receive treatment from a well qualified reflexologist.
