Reflexology is a complementary therapy which does not replace conventional medicine. However there is increasing evidence to support its efficacy in several areas of health. Here are just a few links:
Evidence based research on the effectiveness of using reflexology to treat diabetes patients:

Could reflexology be as effective as painkillers? A new study suggests, in some cases, it might. Lisa Salmon reports for Silver Surfers website:

About
Let me show you how you can benefit from reflexology:
I was always a fan of holistic therapies, finding every opportunity to try new experiences. I was so grateful to receive vouchers from family and friends for relaxing or uplifting treatments. A redundancy at work gave me the unexpected opportunity to retrain in an area I care passionately about.
​
The redundancy followed a long stressful period in my life so I relished the opportunity to throw myself into learning techniques which can help with encouraging relaxation; easing tension; improving mood and wellbeing and help aid a great night's sleep!
"Reflexology is often used alongside conventional care in hospices, hospitals and other healthcare settings, to help support patients with a variety of conditions"
