WHAT IS THE POINT OF AN IONIC FOOTBATH DETOX?

Ionic Foot bath detoxification therapy is becoming more and more popular as a way to rid the body of any harmful toxins. Potential toxins can range from impurities in the air, to chemicals in your home and beauty products. Because of their surge in popularity, ionic foot detoxes are now being offered at some health and wellness spas, at alternative health offices, and even for at-home use. If you're curious about what a foot detox is and if it can help you, here's what you need to know.


WHAT IS ACTUALLY CAUSING THE WATER TO CHANGE COLOR?

Ionic Foot bath detoxification therapy claim that if the water in the foot bath changes colour, it means the detox is working.

This is not true! Whether the detox works or not, it has nothing to do with the colour of the water. The water colour can change for a number of simple reasons, namely the presence of impurities in the water. This often happens when using tap water.

The water changing colour may even be due to the footbath itself. Although foot bath manufacturers say the ionizing charge will remove metals and toxins from the body of the person using it, they do not explain how the charge skips over the metals that are actually in the foot bath itself.

The electricity in the product may cause some of the metal from the foot bath to be corroded by use. This could account for some of the discoloration in the water. Most foot detoxes also use special salts in the water, which can interact and cause the water to change colour.

 Final Note…

Ionic foot detox, like we always say, is not a harmful therapy at all. After all it is cleansing the body anyways, which in-turn is again good.
