Detoxifying Ionic Footbaths bring your body back to a state of harmony and balance.

Children are taught the importance of hygiene, washing our hands and bathing to keep our bodies clean and prevent illness. Cleansing the inside of our bodies to remove toxins is what detoxifying Ionic footbaths are all about.

Today our toxic exposure is at an all time high. Toxins come from many sources. Our foods are sprayed with pesticides, our water has chlorine and fluoride, the air we breathe is polluted, our cleaning supplies, soaps, shampoos and detergents are loaded with chemicals. Mercury fillings, lead, arsenic, aluminum, vaccinations, household adhesives, paints and other home products like plastic used in the microwave, tobacco, drugs and more all contribute to more toxins in our bodies that lead to dis-ease, allergies, mental incapacitation with side effects like swelling, rashes, insomnia, headaches, fatigue and pain.

Eliminating toxins is the first step in giving the body a chance to heal itself. Detoxification is fundamental to any health building program and detoxifying through the feet is ideal. People love the effects of the ionic foot bath; they find themselves more relaxed and relieved of tension and stress.

So what is an ion and how does the detoxifying ionic footbath work?

A negative ion is an atom that has lost or gained one or more electrons causing it to become negatively charged. This negative ion is smaller than a molecule which allows it to be easily absorbed by the body through the process of osmosis. The scientific term of Osmosis is used to describe the movement of particle through a membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. In this case the higher concentration refers to the negative ions produced by the ion field that is set up by placing the array in the water.

Detoxifying footbaths operate through a process called electrolysis. This is done by generating the proper amount of current in the footbath causing the H2O molecules to divide producing negative ions. Once the negative ions are present in the water, the body absorbs these ions through osmosis.

Foreign matter such as harmful chemicals, heavy metals, parasites and others are positively charged. The negative ion seeks out the positive molecule to attach to. Once attached to these foreign substances, the body can readily eliminate then naturally, thereby enhancing the body’s ability to internally cleanse itself naturally, restoring and normalizing correct pH balance and energy levels.

Why would I want to use the detoxifying ionic footbath?

This is an excellent way to enhance your cleansing progress. It may be possible to reduce pain and other symptoms caused by a lifetime of toxic buildup in the body.

How long is a session and how frequently can I have a session?

A session lasts 34 minutes and can typically be done every other day.

What else can I expect from a detoxifying ionic footbath session?

Many colors and objects appear in the water during detoxifying ionic footbath sessions. There is a reaction between the toxins and particles in the water, the salt added to the water, the metals in the array, and the acidity or alkalinity of the person being bathed. All of these combine to produce color.

The following table shows what the colors in the water represent:
