The history of reflexology dates back to ancient Egypt, China, and India, where it was used to promote health and balance in the body. In the early 20th century, a physical therapist named Eunice Ingham developed modern reflexology techniques and mapped out the reflex points on the feet that correspond to specific organs and systems in the body.
Reflexology is a gentle and relaxing therapy that can be performed on people of all ages, from infants to the elderly. It is a safe and effective therapy that can be used alongside conventional medicine to support the body's natural healing processes
