Reflexology is a supplementary treatment for optimum health maintenance.
The foot has reflexes from all points in the body.
With special kinds of pressure applied by the healer, it can bring the body and organ function levels of the receiver to normal range.
Contemporary reflexology is rooted in the foundation of zone -therapy by Dr. William Fitzgerald – American physician Otolaryngologist, who after applying this practice could operate without needing any or with a small dose of anesthesia.
In western Europe (Switzerland, England, Denmark) and in the US, there is a Reflexology department in most hospitals. In Greece, this is voluntary, in some medical centers like Aretaio Hospital, Onassio Center for Heart Surgery and inother private and public healing institutions.
