A therapy used since th ancient past in China, Egypt, and India, reflexology provides effective, holistic treatment for disease and relief from stress. Using pressure and massage techniques on reflex points of the feet and hands, reflexology alleviates energy blocks that can cause pain, disability, or tension, encouraging the body to return to optimum health. It can be used to treat a number of disorders form arthritis and asthma to spinal meningitis and glaucoma.

The Reflexology Manual is ideal for beginners as well as experienced reflexologists. Clear illustrations show how all internal body structures and organs are mirrored-reflected-in the reflex points, and a step-by-step guide with color photographs and detailed captions demonstrates how to perform a full treatment. a special section describes how to incorporate other holistic healing methods-work with chakras, color therapy, and the acupuncture meridians-into reflexology sessions.

Pauline Wills is a professional reflexologist and instructor in England and Ireland. She combines yoga and color therapy in her professional practice and is the author of The Reflexology and Colour Therapy Workbook.
