Reflexology
Reflexology is a therapeutic practice that involves applying manual pressure to designated areas of the body , primarily the feet and occasionally the hands , which are believed to be linked to particular internal organs 256 , 257 and glands . 256 Pressure receptors located in the feet , hands , and ears , upon stimulation or activation , are postulated to be capable of transmitting signals to the central nervous system . Subsequently , the regulatory efferent pathways would convey responses to the targeted area ( e . g ., organ ). 258 The objective of stimulating these specific zones is to enhance the body ’ s innate healing capabilities related to the corresponding organs . 257 Current research suggests that reflexology demonstrates greater efficacy compared
