Reflexology is a complementary therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears, which correspond to different organs and systems in the body. This pressure stimulates energy flow and promotes relaxation, helping to relieve stress, improve circulation, and enhance overall well-being.
