How to Find a Reflexologist Reflexology Chart

Reflexology is a wonderful adjunct modality to add to any healing protocol. It is very easy to do. All you need is a reflexology chart and a pair of strong thumbs. Alternatively, you can use a dull instrument, such as a pestle or even a door stopper with a rubber cap on the end to press into your feet or hands. This stimulates nerves in the feet or hands that connect to corresponding organs of the body.

Reflexology charts are easy to find and print right off the Internet. Two sources are provided below.
