Reflexology - Dr. Maybelle Segal

Publisher’s Synopsis: Reflexology, or compression foot massage, is "a natural art of healing, a drugless way of stimulating the internal organs, thereby increasing the circulation and restoring bodily functions to normal." So says Dr. Maybelle Segal, a practitioner of this ancient art, one which was used as long ago in China as acupuncture. Revived in the United States in 1913 by Dr. William Fitzgerald, reflexology has gained new adherents in recent times, many as a result of renewed interest in all natural preventative health measures.

But reflexology has also gained much attention because of the efforts Maybelle Segal has made to publicize this method. She has demonstrated compression foot massage on television and has won many converts to this healing art. And now she has written this basic book on the subject, intended for both the patient and the potential practitioner. It is an easy-to-read volume filled with helpful diagrams and photographs and written with a very personal touch.

Maybelle Segal is a woman devoted to her profession. She does not suggest that her patients not see their physicians. But she does think that today too many natural methods of healing are bypassed and too many drugs used.

Read about reflexology and see what you think. "Nature's way is God's way," says the author.
