This educational health care article is part of our Reflexology Health Series. In addition to foot reflexology, there are other forms of reflexology that may be utilized. These are particularly useful if there is an injury to the foot or if getting to the foot might be difficult.

For example, you may easily do hand reflexology when visiting someone in the hospital and simply holding their hand.

Hand Reflexology: The hands have similar reflex points to the ones used in foot reflexology.

These reflex points may be easily learned thru a study of Hand Reflexology.

Hand reflexology is totally non-invasive and is perfect for working with elderly people in nursing homes, for example.

They don't even need to understand what you are doing. It will just feel comforting to them as you hold their hands and gently work the reflex points while chatting.

Ear Reflexology: Amazingly, another field of reflexology involving reflex points in the ears is gaining a great deal of attention lately.

There are over 300 reflex points in the ears and many, myself included, have seen wonderful results with this therapy called Auricular Therapy.

In my case, auricular reflexology and accupressure therapy helped greatly with inflammation, hormonal fluxes of perimenopause and eyestrain.
