What is it?
Detoxification is naturally performed in the human body by the liver, kidneys, and the skin. But with the excess of toxins in our environment, our body is overburdened with too many toxins and the natural detoxification process is inhibited. Detoxification is essential to fight chronic disease and improve overall health. (According to the CDC, many illnesses are related to pollutants and toxins in the environment, which enter and build up in the body) The Ionic Foot Bath is a specialized detoxification treatment that removes excess toxins and enhances the body’s natural ability to detoxify itself. The Ionic Foot Bath also helps to balance the body’s PH level and neutralizes free radicals that can cause damage to the body cells. Detoxifying the body can help to restore the natural balances of the cells of the body.
How does it work?
The Ionic Foot detox uses an electrode to create positively and negatively charged ions in the water which travel throughout the body throughout the body and stimulates the detoxification process. The ions gently draw out toxins through the reflex points of the feet. Throughout the cleanse, you will notice color changes in the water as toxins are being removed. The color and texture indicate which organs or body systems are releasing toxins. The water color ranges from yellow-green, orange, brown, black to dark green. You may also notice white foam or white cheese-like particles floating on the water’s surface, and/or black or red flecks resting at the bottom of the foot basin.
