Once regarded with skepticism by the medical establishment, neural therapy - injecting procaine and lidocaine into specific nerve and tissue sites to restore proper bioelectrical function - is rapidly gaining worldwide acceptance as an effective complement to orthodox medical techniques.

It explores foot reflexology, hand reflexology, as well as meridian therapy and offers extensive basic pathology of all body systems, including case studies, allowing the student to develop interpretive diagnostic and treatment planning skills. Each chapter also includes a study outline as well as review and multiple choice questions. Offering a comprehensive guide to the theory, philosophies, and history of reflexology, this book will encourage students to develop understanding and confidence in their reflexology practice.
