How to Assemble a Cleansing Footbath

An ionic cleansing footbath helps rid your body of harmful toxins. Many chiropractors offer cleansing footbaths to clients for a fee that is based on 30-minute to 60-minute treatment sessions. If you like to detox often, it is more economical for you to purchase your own footbath system, which is very easy to assemble. However, if you have pre-existing medical conditions, you should consult your doctor to ensure that it is safe to use the system. If you are using a pacemaker or have heart conditions, you should not use a footbath system.
