It *doesn't* "work" as its scammers suggest. Reflexology's benefits don't extend beyond palliative results, like reducing stress or in the treatment of psychosomatic issues for which there's no underlying health problem to treat. While stress reduction *is* important, that's a much lower hurdle to clear than the "cure-all" nonsense its advocates claim for it. Reflexology has failed to live up to its hype in every double-blind study to which it's been subjected. Every single one.
