IONIC FOOT DETOX

An ionic foot detox is a foot bath with a little difference. It can still include additives, however the main premise here is IONIZATION. Without getting too technical: our bodies, like all things, have electrical currents in them to some degree, right down to the smallest parts of each cell. These positive and negative charges, called ions, can move in healthy and unhealthy directions, and be found in balanced and imbalanced amounts.

An ionic foot bath is like a normal foot bath - you immerse your feet in warm water - but then something new is added: an electrode with a safe, weak charge is submerged in the water as well. It emits a mild electric charge of negative ions, to help 'suck' the excess of positively-charged ions from your body, through your feet, and send in negative ions to help restore a balanced charge to all your systems and cells.

This is supposed to restore a more equal electric charge throughout your body, cleanse cells of unwanted amounts of ions and toxins, and additionally, while instigating the flow of currents outward, it is supposed to pick up other toxic particles that get caught up in it and they all come out in the flow. In essence, your body and the ionic water become 'one', sharing the same electic charge equalized through the thin membrane of your skin.

There is just as much debate over ionic detox as their is over the purported other benefits and efficacy of all detox methods, but it is being actively studied and many people are testifying positive results. Whether you believe its benefits or not, once again it is a healthy, non-invasive, safe process to try, and a pleasurable feeling always helps your health and state of mind.
