A foot reflexology chart maps specific areas of the feet to different organs and systems in the body. It’s based on the practice of Reflexology, where applying pressure to certain points is believed to promote relaxation and overall well-being.
🦶 How to Read a Foot Reflexology Chart
- Toes → Head, brain, sinuses
- Ball of the foot → Chest, lungs, heart
- Arch → Digestive organs (stomach, liver, kidneys)
- Heel → Lower back, intestines, sciatic nerve
Each foot represents one side of the body:
- Right foot → right side organs (like liver)
- Left foot → left side organs (like heart)
