Reflexology is a type of massage that's based on the premise that areas and organs in the body are linked to reflex areas on the hands, feet, and ears. The practice is considered a complementary therapy, meaning that it shouldn't replace conventional medical care. And while it still needs more scientific research to prove that it can prevent or cure any type of disease, some studies show it may help relieve certain symptoms, such as pain and anxiety.
