Here are entered works on a form of massage in which pressure is applied to areas of the feet or hands to relax or promote healing in other parts of the body. Works on treatment of conditions by provoking a reflex action, for example, stopping a nosebleed by applying ice to the neck, are entered under Reflexotherapy

Réflexe -- Physiologie. : Reflex control of the circulation / edited by Irving H. Zucker and Joseph P. Gilmore
A response by the BARORECEPTORS to increased BLOOD PRESSURE. Increased pressure stretches BLOOD VESSELS which activates the baroreceptors in the vessel walls. The net response of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM is a reduction of central sympathetic outflow. This reduces blood pressure both by decreasing peripheral VASCULAR RESISTANCE and by lowering CARDIAC OUTPUT. Because the baroreceptors are tonically active, the baroreflex can compensate rapidly for both increases and decreases in blood pressure
