How do I Detoxify With Ion Machines?

An ionic detoxifying machine works by allowing the toxins from your body to be released through the feet by the use of negatively and positively charged ions created by the use of the ionic detoxifying unit. The machine uses the concept of electrolysis where electric current is passed between two electrodes immersed in water. The unit allows the body to detoxify through the many tiny pores located under the feet. A regular ion detox session lasts 10 to 30 minutes, and during that time, the water changes color. The color of the water usually determines which organ of the body the detoxification is taking place from. You can either contact a spa or a health practitioner for your ion detoxifying session or buy a machine and do it at home. The ionic detox machine is still a topic of debate and its usefulness is being argued by scientists. Please be cautious before using this device. Do not use it without consultation with a doctor or physician. The effectiveness of this device is yet to be evaluated.
