The ancient Chinese medicine practiced a detox method through the feet,
based on the belief that the feet contain numerous energy zones which
are connected to the internal body organs.
Therefore, they believed that they can cleanse the body from the accumulated toxins through the feet.
We suggest a few ways to try this effective technique:
Oxygen Detox Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups hydrogen peroxide
- 1 tablespoon of dry ginger powder
Instructions:
Add these ingredients to a tub with warm water, and soak in it for half an hour.
Ionic Food Bath
This treatment is similar to electrolysis, which uses electrical current
in order to cause a potent chemical reaction. The warm water will open
up the pores, and the salt will act as an anti-inflammatory agent.
The feet will absorb the ions from the bath, and when the water becomes
dark, it means that the toxins have been pulled out of the body. Here
are several great salt detox recipes:
Salt Detox Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Epsom salts
- 1 cup sea salt
- 2 cups baking soda
Instructions:
Add the ingredients in a pot full of water, and boil them a bit. Then,
fill the tub with warm water, add some apple cider vinegar, and add the
previously boiled mixture.
You can add some essential oil or some other salt as well. This bat will
detoxify the body, raise the magnesium levels, and soothe skin
irritations. If you feel tired afterward, it means that it has
eliminated the toxins from the body.
Clay Detox Recipe
Ingredients
- ½ a cup of bentonite clay
- ½ a cup of Epsom salts
Instructions:
Add the Epsom salts to a tub with hot water, and add some essential oil.
Then, combine the bentonite clay with some water, use a wooden spoon to
stir, and add it to the bath. To cleanse the body, you should soak in
the bath for 20-30 minutes.
Foot Detox Pads
Foot detox pads are an effective way to cleanse the body. You can
purchase them from health stores, apply them on the soles at bedtime,
and remove them in the morning. If they have become dark, it means that
they have eliminated the toxins from the body.
