I'm a big fan of foot massages, but some experts think touching your tootsies isn't just about feeling good. They believe there are pressure points on your feet that correspond to specific glands, organs, and other parts of your body. Stimulating them in the practice of Reflexology, either by hand, or by walking barefoot on a cobblestone path, is believed to not only relieve stress, but may help heal certain diseases and ailments.

I don't necessarily buy the fact that this therapy can cure your woes, because there's not much scientific evidence backing up the benefits of Reflexology. Although a study conducted at the Oregon Research Institute discovered that adults who walked on a cobblestone mat for four consecutive months had reduced blood pressure and improved physical function as compared to those who did regular walking. If this sounds like something you'd want to test out for yourself, you can purchase your own indoor Foot Chi Cobblestone Footpath in Forest Green ($49.50) or Pebble Beach ($59.90). You're supposed to start off walking on the path for 5 to10 minutes, and work your way up to 40 minutes a week.

Tell me, would any of you give cobblestone walking a try?
