Reflexology is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears, which correspond to different areas of the body. For individuals undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment, reflexology can offer valuable support in managing side effects. Many people find it helps to reduce stress, anxiety, and fatigue, while also promoting relaxation and improving overall well-being. It may also help relieve symptoms such as nausea, pain, and sleep disturbances that often accompany cancer treatments. By encouraging the body’s natural healing processes, reflexology provides a soothing and supportive complement to medical care.
