Foot reflexology, a technique that manipulates pressure points on the feet to allegedly treat various health issues, has been debated as real or fake. Proponents claim benefits such as stress relief and improved circulation, while skeptics argue there's limited scientific evidence to support these claims. A brief history of foot reflexology dates back to ancient civilizations, with modern practice popularized in the early 20th century. The science behind it remains unclear, but some theories suggest that stimulating specific points can affect corresponding bodily functions.
