(Athens, Georgia)– Reports from the American Medical Association point to stress as a primary contributing factor in 85 percent of illnesses. As health care costs soar and society’s trust in pharmaceuticals wanes, many are turning to alternative medicine for relief. Over the last decade, reflexology has emerged as a front runner in this field; in fact, studies recently conducted by a Chinese research team indicated 90 percent of participants receiving this treatment felt some level of remission with 40 percent experiencing complete healing. Aside from the proven physical and emotional benefits, people are increasingly drawn to the relaxing effects of modern combinations of reflexology with traditional spa treatments.
