How to Detox While Soaking Your Feet

Detoxification is a popular way to maintain a healthy body and is rumored to provide numerous health benefits, such as increased blood flow and weight loss. There are many ways to detoxify the body, including detox diets and massages. Another way to detoxify is through ionic footbaths, which release toxins through the feet in a calm, relaxing way. This practice is based in reflexology, which, according to the Association of Reflexologists, is a contemporary therapy that works on the feet and hands to enable the body to restore itself and restore the free flow of energy to the whole body.

  Adjust the massage settings to your preference and submerse your feet in the water.
