🦶🏼5 Little-Known Facts About Reflexology from Around the World 🌍

🇪🇬 Ancient Egypt
Wall carvings in the Tomb of Ankhamor (c. 2330 BCE) appear to show structured foot and hand massage. These scenes may represent one of the earliest forms of therapeutic touch, reflecting the Egyptian belief that health and harmony flowed through the body.

🇨🇳 China
Traditional Chinese Medicine has long linked specific areas of the feet with internal organs and the flow of “Qi.” This concept may have shaped modern reflexology’s pressure-point maps, and foot therapy remains an important wellness practice in China today.

🇮🇳 India
In Ayurveda, Padabhyanga a foot massage with herbal oils has been used for centuries to calm the nervous system and balance the body’s energies. This ancient practice may share roots with reflexology’s holistic approach to wellbeing.

🦅 Indigenous North America
Some Native American traditions are believed to have practiced foot-based healing, viewing the feet as reflections of the whole body. These practices emphasize harmony between physical and spiritual health, echoing reflexology’s core philosophy.

🇺🇸 Modern America
Reflexology resurfaced in the early 1900s through Dr. William Fitzgerald’s “zone therapy” and Eunice Ingham’s detailed foot maps. Their work transformed ancient ideas into a structured wellness system that continues to support relaxation and holistic health today.
