Format:Paperback
This is a book for those who already have some knowledge and interest in foot reflexology and maybe massage. It charts specific points on the body which relate to various organs, which when activated help the body heal itself.
It is nicely linked to hand and foot reflexology, with diagrams of both and instructions on how to activate all points to alleviate problems. There are numerous photographs throughout of the points on the body being activated. Also numerous, are testimonies written to the author about how lives have been changed using this technique.
It would benefit most those readers who wish to take reflexology one step further or massage therapists wishing to add a healing element to their treatments. It can of course be of use to any 'lay' person wanting to heal themselves.
I found the book interesting and will use it as a resource for my clients. The testimonies became a little tiresome as there were too many to maintain interest and lost their sense of credibility after a while, many are somewhat over enthusiastic and this may lead readers to believe body reflexology is a complete cure-all.
It does however, deal well with specific ailments and body systems and clearly shows where the points are on the body with simple diagrams.

I feel great!
11 Feb 2000
Format:Paperback
This is a great book if you have a desire to help yourself feel better. I have ordered about 15 copies in the last 6 months for family members and friends. When someone tells me they have pains I tell them how to relieve it. At first they think I'm nuts. Then they do what I tell them and when the pain goes away they want a copy. I have enjoyed the practice of making myself feel better and you will too with this book. Enjoy the book and the good health that goes with it. To your health. Judy

Very informative reference
30 Dec 2001
Format:Paperback
I find Body Reflexology to be very useful in my massage practice. The language and concepts are plain and easily understood. The case histories are extremely interesting. An excellent reference for anyone curious about how reflexology works all over the body, not just hands or feet.

Amazing
9 Dec 1999
Format:Hardcover
Of course, I used to laugh at all those new age jerks who were studying horoscopes, chakras and reflex charts. However, being pretty desperate about my health, I decided to give Mrs. Carter's book a try - what could I lose, anyway?
Though I found out that reflexology will not work wonders, ie. bring immediate complete healing, I was suprised to see that it had indeed some beneficial effects on my health. I had really bad digestion problems. Massaging the stomach and colon reflexes provided some very quick relief and my digestion is actually improving slowly. I also had slight potency problems, so I started to massage several sex reflexes. I have noticed an obvious improvement in my sexual performance. I have also noticed that massaging the heart reflexes provides some very quick help. I haven't yet noticed any results with my eye problems. I still have lots of work to do with my health, but Mrs. Carter's book gave me a pretty good start.
It was an excellent idea of Mrs. Carter to include other kinds of advice than just reflexology in her book . For instance, she introduces a yoga exercise for instantly curing a sore throat. It doesn't heal your throat completely in an instant as Mrs. Carter claims, but sometimes it's still a great help.
Of course, this book is no substitute for your brains. If you'd take Mrs. Carter's advice dead-seriously, you'd have to spend 24 hours a day massaging your reflexes. Her book seems to be directed on retired persons who have nothing to do all day long anyway. She also prates very much about God, love etc. Please don't let this keep you from reading this wonderful book. Forgive the old lady her little weaknesses. This book is so good that a few flaws that are in it aren't really disturbing at all.
