Summary: Helpful Introduction to Reflexology
Review: I found this book to be a very good introduction to the subject of reflexology. Hand reflexology was appealing to me, because I couldn't imagine working with my feet in a self-help way. However, after reading Hand Reflexology, I was inspired to learn more about foot and body reflexology as well. Even though the book has that folksy, old-fashioned style of older self-help manuals, it does contain tons of really useful information and presents it in a clear, easy-to-read way. I've read many books on reflexology since first acquiring this one, and I still feel that this is one of the best.

Summary: a tremendous resource
Review: This is the best book ever written on reflexology, bar none. It is filled with excellent practical advice. There are chapters on the meridians of the body and how they are connected to the hands and feet of a person. The author shows how the different organs and glands are connected to energy points in the hand and how these organs can be healed. There is an excellent chapter on detoxifying the entire body using reflexology. These techniques work very well. A persons health is the most important thing, no doubt about it. This book gives a very easy method to cure disease and it works great. Its a pity that more people do not know about this book and suffer terribly, all without need. They should learn to question things, especially the medical establishment and think for themselves. This book is worth every penny and more. A tremendous health resource.

Summary: Thumbs Down
Review: While this book does give you information on the philosophy behind reflexology, and perhaps a basic idea of the techniques, I have seen much better books describing reflexology and that contain references to where their information came from. This book makes a lot of wild claims that are not substantiated with research or documentation of any kind. I embrace the use of integrative medicine, including reflexology, but I despise books like these that blow a lot of "hot air" about what this modality can do without substantiating it with where the information came from. In addition to all the "hot air," there is misinformation. For example, in chapter 27, there is the heading "How to measure your own blood pressure." Here the author proceeds to tell you how to check your pulse. Obviously the author has personal points of confusion that she passes on to her readers. Keep looking for a better book.
