Instructions for Foot Detox Pads

Detoxification is a process used to remove toxins from our bodies. The methods vary. One of these methods is the detox foot patch. Understanding how to use these pads can help you decide if they are right for you.
  1. How Does It Work?

    • Detox foot patches supposedly use natural ingredients to break up blockage in the circulatory and lymphatic systems using acupuncture points on your feet. Ingredients in foot detox pads include wood, bamboo vinegar and tourmaline. These pads are used by naturalists to get rid of toxins, improve blood circulation, strengthen the immune system, increase metabolism, improve sleep patterns, prevent fatigue and manage pain.

    Use

    • Detox foot pads are incredibly easy to use. They are shaped like a large Band-Aid and can simply be applied to the foot directly. Generally, they are placed across the width of the foot and not the length of the foot. Food pads are generally placed on the feet overnight while you sleep. Wear socks while you sleep to keep the pads in place. However, they can be worn during the day. They can also be placed on any part of your body that you feel needs detoxification. You should never place them on open wounds, mucous membranes or anywhere near the eyes. If applying them to a curved section of your body, cover the pad with tape. The tape won't hinder the process.
      After several hours, the pads will have gone from clean to incredibly dirty. Remove the pads and throw them away. This dirt is supposed to be the toxins and chemicals that have been removed from your body. The science behind this is questionable, but there are many glowing testimonials about using these detox pads online. These pads are safe to use with little to no side effects.
