Synopsis:

20 patients, male and female, ages 40-70, with insomnia for 3-4 years were given foot reflexology (finger-toe sinus massage) after unsuccessful treatment with drugs, acupuncture, moxibustion, and physiotherapy. 45% of the cases were cured, 35% greatly improved, and 15% improved with an overall 95% rate of improvement. Foot reflexology appeared to normalize physiological functions and maintains homeostasis of the body.

Conclusion:

	Foot reflexology has been shown to be effective for reducing insomnia.
