Synopsis:

20 cases with gallbladder conditions were given foot reflexology. Four cases with cholecystopathy showed tenderness in the gallbladder reflex zones while 16 cases without gall cyst disease showed no tenderness. A 67 yr old female with cholecystolithiasis improved and was without symptoms after two sessions even though the gallstone was un-changed. A 59 yr old female with diabetes mellitus and cholecystitis and right hypochondriac pain and tenderness was completely relieved from pain after one session. A 63 yr old female with right hypochondriac pain was relieved of pain after two sessions.

Conclusion:

	Foot reflexology was found to be effective for the relief of gallbladder diseases.
