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.

Detox Pads

What are detox pads? Detox pads are made from natural tree and bamboo extracts. They are based on centuries of Japanese herbal knowledge, passed down through the generations. These detox pads can be a great part of your detox recipe.

Detox pads directly affect the reflex points on the feet. Placing the detox pad on the reflex points promotes equilibrium and healing in the body. Applying a detox foot pad is like receiving a reflexology treatment around the clock. Reflexology is an ancient art, using compression and touch on the feet. Reflex points in the feet affect other parts of body, and stimulating these reflex points promotes the corresponding area of the body. This is said to help with fatigue, pain, rashes and many other  issues.

The bottom of the foot is the location where most of the nerves in our body end. Using the pad on this semi-permeable skin, it helps to dilate blood vessels, increases blood flow and moves waste fluids out of the body. Therefore, these detox pads are best used on the sole of the foot to clean out waste and toxic materials that are expelled with the perspiration. The heat from the detox pad helps absorb perspiration from the bottom of the foot. This mechanism can help to clean out waste and toxic materials that are expelled in the form of sweat.

How To Get The Most Out Of Your Detox Pads

1. Take one piece of the adhesive backing sheets and one detox pad.

2. Gently peel off the bottom portion of the medical grade backing paper, leaving the top piece attached.

3. Now take the detox pad and carefully remove it from its protective packaging. Hold it with the writing side facing towards the adhesive sheet.

4. Carefully place the detox pad at the center of the adhesive sheet.

5. Remove the remaining portion of backing paper and press the pad firmly to attach.

6. Apply the detox pad to the sole of the foot according to the reflex points and press gently to ensure the pad is secure.

7. Now repeat the process for the other foot. Once application is complete on both feet, go to bed as normal.

8. After 6 – 8 hours sleep you will notice that you slept better and awoke feeling cleansed and refreshed.

9. Gently remove the used pad. Avoid touching the dark part as this now contains toxins that have been drawn from the body during sleep.

10. Thoroughly cleanse the feet, then discard the used pad. Please note that they may not be reused.

Lemon Detox Diet

Looking for a great detox recipe that can help you lose weight and detoxify the body? Did you know that even doctors often suggest the lemon detox diet as the best diet plan for healthy people? It’s true. So what’s the lemon detox diet all about?

After years of eating a questionable diet, the body can start to feel tired and sickly due to the toxins built up in the system. When starting the lemon detox diet, these toxins are sent back into the system, and into the colon for elimination. This can make the dieter feel very sick at first. This is why it is important to add a colon cleanse along with the lemon detox diet, to eliminate this toxic fecal matter as quickly as possible. Thus, prior to starting the lemon detox diet, it is recommended that you start with the colon cleanse for the first couple of days.

The syrup contained in the lemon detox diet is rich in sugar. This acts as the source of energy (calories) and helps to curb hunger. One glass of the drink is said to contain 70 calories of energy. The drink has been shown to be rich in zinc and calcium which are very important for the cleansing action that helps move those toxins. Lemon detox diet is said to help supply the human body with essential nutrients and minerals throughout the course of the diet.

If you intend on adding the lemon detox diet plan to your daily routine for one week, the instructions are to drink the detox diet as the only source of food intake. Of course, you are allowed to take in any medication according to your doctor’s advice. Don’t be surprised if you feel a little dizzy. This might be due to the beginning of expulsion of the poisonous toxins from the body. You can always go for some light exercises, since they can help to speed up the blood flow, and the toxin expulsion rate.

Be aware that it is not recommended to jump back into normal food immediately after the lemon detox diet. Gradually increase your normal food intake, starting with fruit juice and lighter food intake. Then try to step back to normal food slowly.

Though the lemon detox diet is easy to follow, it might not be safe for amateur and inexperienced dieters, or those with any of a variety of health problems. Always consult your medical practitioner before you jump into any diet, including the lemon detox diet.
