The popularity of reflexology therapy has increased in recent years as the public seek more holistic ways to maintain good health and well-being. This paper reviews and summarizes the existing literature on reflexology focusing on principle, concept, current issues and scientific evidence. Databases of PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Google scholar as well as ProQuest were the sources used for findings the articles. Collectively, these reviews suggest a number of areas where reflexology may well be beneficial. Recent evidence suggests that reflexology is a simple, less expensive and non-invasive method that effective to regulate the autonomic nervous system activities, coordinates physiological responses, alleviates anxiety, and induces body relaxation.
