Reflexology and the way it works

[sam]

I have heard a lot about reflexology and also that it is very much beneficial for one's health. But what is reflexology exactly? and how does it works?
Anyone care to share his/her views on the topic?

all I know is when we do it we'll feel pain for a while, but after we finished we'll feel better, n if we do that regularly, it helps us to recover even from serious health problem, like heart desease, diabetes, etc. Usually done by pressing some points on our sole which have connection with our nerves system.
