Reflexologists believe that manipulating the foot (and sometimes the hands and ears) creates a ‘reflex’ in other organs, and this property can be used to heal many diseases. For example, the manipulation of the big toe can affect the head and brain. Reflexology is dismissed as quackery by medical doctors, though like many other fields of alternative medicine it continues to have many fervent believers.
