This review is from: Helping Yourself With Foot Reflexology (Paperback)

Self-therapy through massaging different parts of the foot has healing effects on other parts of the body. This book shows through descriptions, pictures and detailed charts, simple methods of foot reflexology massage for eliminating aches and pains temporarily or permanently. Complete healing of illnesses is also possible.

Various organs, nerves and glands of the body are connected with certain 'reflex areas' on the bottoms of the feet, soles, toes and ankles. Reflexology can improve general health, provide resistance to illnesses, help heal chronic conditions, and relieve physical and mental tensions.

The charts in the book are thorough. The explanation of the reflexes and how to locate and massage them is done very well. There is also a section on palm reflexes.

My wife and I have used Carter's "Helping Yourself With Foot Reflexology" book with highly satisfied results. We often give each other foot massages as described in the book and have found healing from many common illnesses such as headaches, backaches, stress, etc. We highly recommend use of foot reflexology to all and have also suggested its use to many friends who have also shared its helpfulness.
