Traditional use
Traditionally worked with small circles as part of the sequence that charts label the reproductive group. Naming the group is a description of the chart, not a claim about reproductive function or fertility.
Reflexology is a traditional practice, not an evidence-based medical treatment. Systematic reviews have not shown it to be effective for any medical condition. These maps document what practitioners traditionally use — they are not claims about how the body works.
