What is reflexology?
Reflexology is one of the popular treatments in HEALTH AND SKINCARE/SOMATOLOGY/BEAUTY THERAPY. Zone treatment, another name for reflexology, is an alternative medical procedure that involves applying pressure to particular areas on the hands, feet, or ears. Without using any oil or lotion, this is accomplished using thumb, finger, and hand massage techniques.
