How to Build a Foot Detox Machine

The best way to detox through the feet is with an ionic foot bath. The ionic foot bath produces a small electrical current that magnetically pulls the toxins from your body through the feet. Although the treatment is ontroversial due to inconclusive benefits, many holistic healers swear by it.

Instructions

• 1

  Attach an end of the electrical wire to one of the spoons and wrap with electrical tape. Do the same for the second wire and spoon.

• 2

  Fill the large bowls, large enough to fit your foot, with warm water. Fill it so your foot will be completely covered with water. Add a large tablespoon of Epsom salt to each and allow the salt to dissolve.

• 3

  Connect the remaining ends of the wires to the battery terminals, clamping them in place with the alligator clips. Place the spoon end in the bowls, one in each. It does not make a difference which is positive or negative.

• 4

  Place one foot in each of the large bowls. Allow the feet to soak for 10 minutes a day, gradually increasing to 30 minutes. The electrically charged salt water should start to change color upon entering. This discoloration is caused by the toxins leaving your body, according to IonicDetoxFootBath.com. See the Color Chart in Resources for an explanation of what the different colorations of the water may indicate.
