The use of reflexology is found in early Egyptian papyrus scene depicting medical practitioners, treating the hands and feet of their patients approximately as early as 2,500 BC.

When these reflexes are properly stimulated (using finger technique on over 7200 nerve endings finishing in each foot, the Nervous System is nourished, thereby improving Circulation, relaxing Tension and Anxiety and in helping to promote the natural function of the body to heal itself .
