Another detoxification method that is slowly gaining popularity is the ionic detox foot
spa, particularly because of the income opportunity the treatment provides. Some
spas and health establishments offer these treatments for about $100 for five
sessions. Detox experts believe that the feet are excellent exit points for toxins and
other wastes, since there are thousands of pores in our feet. The ionic detox foot spa
follows the principle that toxins can be pulled downward from head to toe, and
eventually expelled out of the body by using ions.
The treatment is a very simple one, actually. First, you immerse both feet into a tub
of water with dissolved salt. The tub can be attached to or have a built-in electrode
which is plugged into a wall outlet. The electrode is immersed in the water and
provides a weak current of electricity, to weak to be felt by the feet. After several
minutes to an hour of immersion, the water will eventually change color from clear to
murky brown. According to those who follow this procedure, the toxins that were
pulled out of the body appear as dirt in the water. Some say that the color of the
water, which can be dark green to deep brown can determine the current health
state of the individual. Afterwards, a foot massage is given to the patient.
The ionic detox foot spa is said to be a rewarding business that needs only an
investment of about $1200 for the equipment. You can offer this treatment at $30 to
$40 per session, for home services or others. However, even if these treatments are
also used in hospitals around Asia, there is no clear-cut scientific proof that diseases
can be cured by the ionic detox foot spa. It is possible that some dirt and unneeded
ions are released into the water, but the color doesn't necessarily determine what
diseases are present.
Since we're discussing the feet, there are other alternative treatments to
detoxification aside from the ionic foot bath. The detox foot patch is an alternative
that was discovered in Japan. It also follows the same principle that the feet are exit
channels for toxins that are being pulled downward from the body. You simply apply
the white foot patch or pad to the soles of your feet, and wear it the whole day, even
while walking and working. After a few hours, the foot patch will turn from white to
dark brown, indicating that toxins have been removed from the body.
You can purchase a set of twenty foot patches at around $20 per box. This is an
affordable option, but it may require you to wear and change patches several times
in a day or the week. Again, there are still no exact scientific claims about this
treatment. However, there are no reported harmful side effects either, so it is safe
for everyday use.
