What's the Deal With: Foot Chi
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.
Beauty Glossary: Reflexology
Reflexology is a holistic treatment, which takes the view that the feet – and hands– work as maps of the body's state of health and wellbeing.
Reflexology practitioners divide the feet into zones that run from the toes, to the brain, through different parts of the body. There are ten vertical zones, or energy lines – and as pressure is provided to the feet, these lines are stimulated so that the energy is able to flow.

Pillow Talk: Sweet Feet
Our physical and emotional health depend a great deal on the experience and quality of touching in our lives. Intimacy can be conveyed verbally, sexually or through many kinds of physical touching, like hugging, kissing, or holding hands. Long, lingering touch, the kind you experience during massage, takes time and attention, but it can create real feelings of connectedness and closeness.
Reflexology
Everybody loves a good foot massage now and then, but did you know that some people believe it can heal certain diseases? Reflexology, an alternative healing practice, looks a lot like massage from the outside, but the practice involves stimulating areas on the feet and hands that correspond to glands, organs, and other body parts. Stimulating these reflexes properly can have therapeutic effects.
