How to Put Feet Into a Home Spa Detox Bath

Foot detoxification baths were discovered 1600 years ago when a group of monks and sick people went on a pilgrimage in Japan and soaked their feet in a shallow hot spring. The next day, everyone felt much better and some people reported that their health conditions were gone. Today, you can purchase foot baths to perform detox in your own home.
