How to Make Ionic Feet Detox

The Ionic Foot Detox Bath is a controversial bodily cleansing system that is said to magnetically pull the toxins from your body through your feet via electrical current. Many holistic healers swear by this cleanse and believe the proof is in the discoloration of the salt water after the detox is complete. Try it out for yourself using a few household items.

Instructions

• 1

  Connect one of the electrical wires to the one of the spoons using electrical tape. Repeat this for the second wire and spoon.

• 2

  Fill the foot basins with warm water and dissolve a tablespoon of salt in each. There should be enough water to completely cover each foot.

• 3

  Connect the free end of the electrical wire to the positive terminal of the 9-volt battery using the alligator clip. Repeat with the second wire for the negative terminal and place each spoon in one of the foot basins.

• 4

  Place a foot in each basin and allow them to soak for 10 minutes. Do this everyday and after a week, gradually increase the soak time up to 30 minutes. Upon placing your foot in the ionic detox bath, the water will begin to change color as the toxins are magnetically pulled from your body.
