Several small studies have found that reflexology is beneficial for cancer patients. A Michigan University study found that breast cancer patients experienced a decrease in depression and anxiety, and an increase in quality of life. Researchers at the School of Nursing, East Carolina University, found that foot reflexology alleviated anxiety and pain for patients with breast and lung cancer.

Ten minutes reflexology treatments can provide relief from pain, nausesa and anxiety according to a report from the School of Nursing at the University of Canberra, Australia. The basis of reflexology is that the hands and feet contain a map of all the parts of the body and stimulating these reflex points decreases stress, improves circulation and reduces pain.
