Reflexology is a very nice way of getting a foot message, but I don't for one moment believe that it can cure problems in other parts of the body.

On the other hand, some of the oils used in aromatherapy can certainly affect mood and some may have an effect when rubbed into the skin. There will inevitably be some claims that are OTT as there are for all forms of alternative medicine, but there's certainly some genuine stuff there and a good massage never did any harm to anyone. It's a nice way to relax and can be really good for muscle problems as well.
