Foot Bath Detox
The foot bath detox has become popular in recent years, and as with anything new, is controversial. Negative reviews on the subject can be found around the internet. Strangely though, many of those who oppose the most loudly have admittedly never used a foot bath detox for themselves. In many cases, they are just going by what they have read somewhere else. We hope to give you the information to decide for yourself.
First off, due in no small part to the quick-buck artists and to others that can generally be classed in the same category there has been a lot of false or misconstrued information published about the foot bath detox, First off, It’s not about detoxing through the pores of your feet, or even the color the water changes to during the foot bath detox.
Here’s why: the foot bath detox, which is not a medical device but rather an instrument of assistance, gently creates and releases a current of positive and negative ions into the water so that the body can absorb them through the feet. These ions then travel throughout the body. The negative ions can create a sense of well being. The primary purpose here is to restore the proper flow of the body’s electro magnetic impulses so that the person’s body can heal itself. The actual detox process starts and takes place over the 24-72 hour period after the foot bath detox session. It is the combined benefit of the body being re-energized and then detoxed that we are interested in.
The detoxing takes place after the session. That’s why you want to let 24 to 72 hours elapse between foot bath detox sessions. This allows your body to naturally detox itself through its natural elimination systems. Also you should drink plenty of water during this time period.
Now, let’s address the color change in the water. Pay no attention to the color of the water. With or without feet in the water you will get color change. While it is particularly interesting to watch, it is not coming out of your body, although if one studied samples of the water there may be some minute traces of toxins. Remember it is the 24-72 hours after the session that a person really beings to detox.
More studies need to be done, and not just studies of what is in the water, but rather what is it actually taking place for the individual. There have been a number of polls showing the positive effect of foot bath detox; now science needs to find out whether this unique detox recipe really works, and why.
