Ionic Foot Bath Instructions

An ionic foot bath is a machine that contains a mixture of salt and water into which you immerse your feet. Also submerged into the solution are electrodes, which do not touch your feet. The solution has a small current passed through it to draw the toxins from your body via your feet and will turn different colors to indicate the presence of toxins. Healthy Detox Cleanse claims that an ionic foot bath treatment rejuvenates the immune system, helps with pain -- especially around the joints and bones -- and improves blood circulation.

Instructions

• 1

  Place the foot bath on a level surface and fill it with water up to the "fill line."

• 2

  Add the appropriate amount of salt for your model and water conditions. It will vary according to the mineral content and the impurities of your water. Your manufacturer's manual will guide you in what amount to use. Any salt, except iodized salt, will work with the foot bath, but unrefined naturally evaporated sea salt is recommended.

• 3

  Plug the array into your power supply, using the color-coded connection cables. The array, also called a module, is made of metal bars, plates or coils, and this delivers the current through the solution. Place the array into the water container.

• 4

  Ensure the foot bath is off. Plug the unit into its adaptor, and then plug the adaptor into a 110-volt electrical outlet. An indicator light should come when it is ready to be used.

• 5

  Make sure your feet are bare of jewelry and turn the power switch to the "On" position. Bubbles will start to form around the steel rods of the machine, signaling it is producing negative ions.

• 6

  Sit on a comfortable chair close to the foot bath and place your feet into the solution. Relax for 30 to 40 minutes. The negative ions will radically alter your bio-energy levels, according to Ionic Oasis. Perform an ionic foot bath for 30 to 40 minutes, twice a week for desired results.

• 7

  Clean the foot bath when you are done using it. After each use, rinse the array with warm water or place it in the dishwasher. Rinse and wipe down the steel rods of the unit with a cloth or a paper towel. If a white coating appears, use a scrub pad to clean the rods.
