About Ionic Foot Detoxification

An ionic foot detox is a type of alternative treatment that is used to eliminate toxins in the body. It is said to draw metal deposits, chemicals, parasites and other unwanted particles from the body through the pores of the feet utilizing basic atomic laws.

Facts

• Ionic foot detoxification is a system of detoxification that makes use of electrical currents to draw out toxins found within the body. It functions through the use of the reverse osmosis system, which makes positive and negative ions bind with unwanted particles in the body in order to draw them out. Salt is added in the foot bath to provide additional density to it. As a result, the process of osmosis is accomplished faster.

Process

• An individual submerges her feet in a small foot bath filed with water and sea salt to begin the ionic foot detox. A detoxifying device (which is usually a small plastic electrical appliance) is placed in the water to release a small electrical current. The purpose of this is to excite the particles in the water to create positive and negative ions. These ions are then drawn to the pores and bind with the toxins in the body. The ions become neutrally charged once they bind together and are pulled out through the feet via osmosis and gravity.

Effects

• The water of the ionic foot detoxification is indicative of the effects that were created in the body. After the process, the water in the foot bath changes color, ranging from blue to brown. The water is said to show what kinds of toxins and which parts of the body are affected by the ionic foot detoxification. For example, brown water is said to contain tobacco and other carcinogenic materials while water that is orange in color means that the joints were cleaned by the ionic foot detoxification process. In addition to these results, scum may also appear on the water, a sign of excessive consumption of sugar.

Results

• Ionic foot detoxification is said to improve the body's immune system as well as metabolism. It also enhances the performance of the lymphatic system. The result is an increase in energy, better sleep, and fewer aches and pains. Other benefits that are claimed by ionic foot detoxification are better blood circulation and improvement of allergy symptoms.

Risks

• There are risks that go with the use of ionic foot detoxification. Some of the common side effects from this procedure include headaches, fatigue and nausea. Most of these symptoms are mild and subside on their own after the treatment has ended. To combat these side effects, rehydration by drinking water is recommended. Those who should not use the ionic foot detoxification include pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with pacemakers and patients with open wounds.
