Reflexology Today.

This was the first textbook on Reflexology ever written. It was written in 1978 by Doreen Bayly, an English woman and past student and colleague of Eunice Ingham. I took her Reflexology course in London in 1978. It is descriptive, informative and an excellent book for all aspiring Reflexologists. Not only does she teach about disorders and how to treat them on the feet, she also describes the function and interaction of the organs, positioning of the hands (with photographs), and the importance of the cross reflexes. Her chart of the feet is the basis of all later charts - of which there are now hundreds. I have used this book myself for the past 30 years and have given it to all my students for the past 25 years. There is no better.
