Customer Reviews

Great way to self-heal & help family and friends too! :)

This book really gives details on how to help yourself & others with basic reflexology techniques. Specifics of each area of the body are covered, how to watch for problems & ways to fix them. For example, ways to deal with symptoms for PMS, back problems, motion sickness, allergies & asthma. Uses of other related items like aromatherapy lotions & oils, reflexology tools & nutritional supplements. It also covers fun stuff like figuring personalities by checking out people's feet. :)

Enjoyable reading, and full of useful information.

This should be the first book on Reflexology you pick up, it is packed full of information and very entertaining to read. Frankie's writing style is professional, yet personal too. This book has everything you need to know about Reflexology, and a great resource link that I have used extensively.

Complete and easy to understand, well researched.

This book is more than an idiot's guide, it is a professional handbook. You can follow the instructions to do self treatment. Information on essential oils is helpful. Author has a delightful sense of humor which makes reading a pleasure. A great book.

Not just about Reflexology but how to be and stay healthy!

Frankie's book is fantastic! She has a rare skill to be able to communicate clearly and keep it entertaining.This book is not just about the wonderful healing art, Reflexology, but discusses how the 5 body systems interact and react. Frankie talks about how you can relieve many symptoms from allergies to PMS with hand and foot reflexology as well as with other methods. I can't wait for her next book, The Complete Idiots Guide to Herbal Remedies - I know that between the two of them that I'll be able to maintain my health and heal myself naturally when I'm not quite right.I promise you will learn much more than you expect and have fun too!PS. Reflexology is GREAT DURING DATES to break the ice!!!! (just be sure to read page 6 before you ask your date for a treatment ;-)
