IONIC FOOT BATH -- CLEANSING THERAPIES

As stated by Wikipedia, Detoxification foot baths, also known as foot detox, ionic cleansing, ionic foot bath and aqua/water detox are devices meant to remove toxins from the human body. They work by providing an electric current to an electrode array immersed in water. When switched on, the electrodes undergo a chemical process called electrolysis which changes the water color.

If you wish to enhance your overall health by the ionic foot bath detoxification therapy and also desire to continue your normal living activities, it certainly can be done. Utilizing a foot bath charged with a high level of negative ions, we are able to stimulate and boost the body’s natural detoxification capabilities.

Where has this theory come from?

         Ionic Bath Therapy has origins stemming back 5000 years to the Eastern Indian traditions of ayurvedic medicine. This system of healing used concentrated sea salt baths to assist the body in drawing out impurities.

If you aim to help your body get rid of the toxins with an ionic foot bath or would like more information to be clarified on this agenda, feel free to contact us.

Ionic foot bath – what objective can you draw from them

An ionic foot bath’s objective is to aid the body to naturally eliminate toxins such as heavy metals, herbicides, insecticides, coloring, additives and preservatives that we take in from the food we eat, our water, air and even medications.  These toxins store themselves in our joints, organs, nerves, and tissues.

How does the ionic foot baths work in removing toxins from the human body

Ionic foot baths remove toxins present in our body by electrolysis.

The simple procedure that happens is explained below:

  • A direct current goes through one end of the array, through the water  for conductivity purposes, and back through the other end of the array.
  • Depending on if the machine is set to positive or negative, the current will break water into positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) and oxygen gas (O2), or negatively charged hydroxyl ions (OH-) and hydrogen gas (H2).
  • You can usually see or smell the presence of oxygen (O2) or hydrogen (H2) gas near the array.
  • The main theory of how Ionic foot bath work is that the ions in the water pull out oppositely charged toxins through the pores in the feet and straight into the tub of water.
  • Water color varies from place to place and person to person. The color looks all completely different, ranging from orange to brown to dark green.

Studies were even done to disprove the effectiveness of ionic footbaths, all were looking at what toxins were in the water and nothing was found.

If you’re interested in the benefits foot detoxes are said to provide, you may wish to first explore your options for a foot soak because there is nothing harmful or unsafe about this procedure. If you wish to try ionic footbaths for yourself, do go ahead because after all, it is a cleansing of the body, a simple effective procedure giving quick positive results to you.
