Ionic Detox Foot BathYup - another 'new' kid has arrived on the foot bath stage called Ionic Detox Foot Bath! We 'll try and keep this really simple but we have to get a little bit 'technical' here. OK? For the record we're not experts in this stuff. We're just sharing the results of our research and excitement. When we cut through all the hype and confusion in the marketplace with this ionic detox foot bath thing, we think there are some really good things here that are worth a look. What follows is overly simplified to help illustrate the key points. Let us know if it works for you. An ionic detox foot bath gets us into the area of alternative, holistic or natural medicine here. Things like energy pathways, free energy flow, energy body stimulation and body cleansing. It's also felt that our feet contain reflex zones that provide energy pathways into your whole body. Let's start with the premise that you feel your best when your body is 'in balance' and properly energized. The body's natural, healthy, balanced state is an alkaline one with a negative ion energy charge. You have the most energy and feel your best in this state. Your immune system is functioning at its peak. Messing this up is the fact that we're all exposed to many pollutants, heavy metals and toxins in our daily living. In our food, air and water to name a few. They're absorbed through our skin and lungs or injested. We can't avoid them. These toxins tend to hold a positive charge. This positive charge tends to reduce or neutralize the natural negative charge of your body. You have less energy. They also tend to reduce the natural alkalinity of your body. You've got extra 'nasty stuff' getting in the way of your body working properly. As they build up they can cause serious health concerns. Your immune system is weakened. The body has its own natural defenses for the toxins such as your liver, colon, lungs and kidneys. They do a pretty good job if things are normal. When they get bogged down with all those 'nasties' and your body has reduced energy, they aren't able to properly do their job. They're compromised by the toxin buildup. So let's look a closer look at an Ionic Detox Foot Bath and see ... How It Works! In a nutshell you're running a mild electrical current through a mild salt water solution in the foot bath. This is done through a pair of electrodes or 'array's. Through the process of electrolysis you get negative ions and positive ions released as the water molecules are 'broken down'. The net result is that there is a buildup of ions in the water. An electromagnetic field is created between your body (feet) and the ions. Note that there are various opinions and theories on what happens next. Although we're not experts the most likely explanation we've found is that the buildup of negative energy is absorbed using the reflex zones of the feet through natural energy channels or meridians to various parts of your body. It appears that this ionic detox foot bath action helps 'recharge' your body energy with negative ions. In turn this helps the natural body processes in cleaning out toxins naturally through their normal functions. Organs such as the kidneys, liver, skin, lungs and colon. There may be a modest amount of 'detoxifying' take place through the feet. Some believe that the negative ion charge in the foot bath draws out the toxins by osmosis. This is a bit hard to find conclusive medical or scientific information on it. The color change of the water is often cited as evidence of this. The reality is more likely to do with the fact that the electrodes give off particles when current is passed through them and this has a lot to do with the color change. Your skin ph, local water condition and so on can have an effect on that coloration. It seems the majority of that detoxifying comes about by improving the health, function and energy in your body and of your various organs. They in turn are able to better do their natural job of cleansing and detoxifying. In short the main benefit of an ionic detox foot bath really seem to come from a raw energy infusion from the negative ion field built up in the water of the foot bath. We appreciate that this seems all a bit fuzzy. That has been our challenge during a lot of our research so we could give you the best info we could find. What is not fuzzy is seen in some very powerful... Results! There's a good list of benefits that are backed up by facts, reasonable assumptions, observations and reports. The main ones include:
So what is one supposed to do with all of this info? We admit to being respectful of and sensitive to the practices of older cultures including energy flow, acupuncture, acupressure, cleansing and various holistic health practices. We have always felt better ourselves when we have experienced them. We're convinced of the benefits based on our research for this page so ..we've purchased our own unit to see what it's all about.
We find the experience very pleasant and enjoyable. There is almost a lightness to our feet and a definite sense of more energy. In some ways it's really sort of hard to describe the exact feeling other than to say it feels different and very good. Even for us old fogies it seems to add a lightness and spring to our step. And it's so easy to use even we can figure it out. Just add warm water and a touch of special salt. As the kiddies say ' How hard is that?' Some Tips On Using Your Ionic Detox Foot Bath Sessions can last from 30-45 minutes. You should start with a shorter time of 15-20 minutes until your body adapts to this experience. You may feel a slight tingling in your feet and legs. This is normal. 1-2 sessions a week is more than enough. We now do it once every 2 weeks and this seems just great for. If your goal is to just reach a good maintenance level for toxin removal after your initial sessions, then once every 3-4 weeks should be fine. You should drink plenty of water both before and during your session. It's a great way to end your day. You'll feel both relaxed and energized! One note here. These things use electrodes. These are what allow the electricity to pass through the water (along with the little bit of salt you add). These guys wear out with time. Ours is forecast to last for 30 sessions. So if you have the opportunity you might want to 'stock up' on these when you first order. We did and got a nice price break that way. And some cautions ... If you have any health or foot problems at all, check with your health care provider first. You should not use these devices if you have a heart condition or pacemaker without checking with your doctor. You should avoid taking any medication or alcohol for at least an hour before a session.
