Did you know that one of the most effective ways to cleanse
your organism from all harmful toxins and substances is through your
feet? Well yes, and this is why in this article we are going to show you
how to cleanse your body from all harmful toxins and substances –
through your feet. The experts claim that the detox through your feet
can be an effective and easy way to help cleanse your body of toxins
that build up over time.
You should know that there are different types of foot detox
procedures, including foot detox pads and detox foot spas, both homemade
and electric.Taking advantage of either of these methods can lead to a
healthier life and a natural body cleanse.
Foot detox pads
How this works
First, let me say a few words about these foot detox pads: you should
know that these detox pads are typically made from tree and bamboo
extracts, and can be purchased at just about any health food store. Foot
detox pads have their origins in Japanese culture and are simple to
use.
How to use it
It’s highly recommended for you to apply the foot detox pads before
you go to sleep and remove them when you wake up in the morning. So,
when you remove the pads in the morning, you will notice that they are
darkened with the toxins removed from your body overnight from just a
single use.
Results
Many people around the world have tried and used these detox foot
pads, and they say that they feel less fatigue, less joint pain, and
fewer headaches. The ionic foot baths are used to detoxify the body by
extracting toxins from, yep, you guessed it, your feet. Ionic foot baths
use an electrical process that produces positive and negative ions in
warm saltwater.
Does Ionic detox foot baths work?
Note: you should also know that you can detox through your feet by using detox foot baths.
The ionic detox foot baths work by ionizing warm saltwater with
alternating polarities. As you breathe easy and enjoy the sense of
well-being that comes from both soaking and cleansing your feet.Well,
this means that when you soak your feet in this detox foot bath, the
toxins are released from your body. These toxins are often the result of
unhealthy eating habits, mainly the consistent consumption of processed
foods and saturated fats. We also breathe in other toxins when
surrounded by air pollution, and they sit in us when we do not exercise.
Ions and Electrons
The idea behind ionic foot baths is a process called electrolysis, a
method of using an electrical current to create a chemical reaction.
Energy is charged through the saltwater, breaking down water molecules
into ions. Warm water opens the pores of the feet, salt acts as an
anti-inflammatory astringent, ions are absorbed and the detoxification
of your feet begins.
Once the saltwater has been added to the foot bath, you’ll see the
water change color, often to a dark mud-brown, or, in some cases, black,
color. The color change occurs as a result of the salt reacting with
the ionic cartridge (or other method used to produce the ionic charge).
It is not a result of toxins leaving your body, as some mistakenly
believe.
Soak those feet!
Unlike some other detox products, ionic foot baths can be used regularly
for up to 45 minutes at a time, as frequently as every other day if
desired. (It is not necessary to use a foot detox machine more than once
a day to achieve the desired results of deep-foot cleansing.)
Besides the benefits of detoxing the skin of your feet, ionic foot
baths are both soothing and relaxing. There’s nothing quite like coming
home to a warm saltwater ion foot bath as you unwind in your favorite
chair after a long day. Combining deep breathing techniques and
meditative practice with the use of your foot bath will help increase
your body’s supply of oxygen while giving you an overall sense of calm
and well-being. So, go ahead — soak those feet.
Recipe for homemade detox foot bath.
Use a simple container from your home that’s large enough for both of your feet to fit comfortably.
To prepare a detox foot bath, first visit your local health and
nutrition store to purchase an herb packet specifically for foot
detoxification. If you can’t get to a health food store, or can’t find
the right herb packet, you can try common ingredients found in your own
cabinets, such as tea, dried hot peppers, garlic, ginger or dried citrus
fruit peels. Tea (green tea, regular tea or any of the specialty herb
teas) is especially effective, and can also help eliminate problematic
foot odor caused by toxins. Experiment with a combination of any or all
of these ingredients.
Then, mix your store-bought or home-made herb concoction with very
hot water (about the same temperature as a hot tub) in your foot bath.
