Reflex points

Reflex points ensure easy detection of diseases and, thereby, their cure. Acupressure or reflexology helps to ascertain the normal or abnormal functioning of different internal organs of the body by pressing specific reflex points in the hands, feet, and other parts of the body. Thus, pressing these points, many ailments can be cured without medicines or side effects.

How reflex point works

On providing pressure on the reflex points, one learns about an organ’s average or abnormal functioning through the pinch of pain. It is thus clear that any spot in the reflex area representing a particular organ that hurts too severely on giving pressure is the proper reflex point for that organ. Generally, every organ has only one central reflex point, but there can be more than one reflex point according to the organ’s size and the nature of the problem.
