Bath Detox
Does the ionic Detox Foot Bath really work?
I purchased an Ionic detox Foot Bath after hearing from it a lot at upscale spas. really good for detoxing your body through your feet. I got the treatment done at a spa ($75 later) and was amazed at how I felt afterward. So I bought one myself and did a treatment. The water changed color as promised (claiming that the color changing was the toxins being drawn out of my body) but I have seen so many things online about it being bogus. And the color changing being positive and negative ions reacting and creating rust. Anyone find any positive information about these foot baths??
The system of our bodies designed to remove metabolic wastes is the excretory system. So if you want to detox, better to take a laxative than to use a foot bath. Our skin is not made to transport that type of waste. In fact, sweat is the way our body cools itself.
If you put your feet in some plain water with any type of vibration going on, your feet are going to feel great afterwards. We abuse our poor little feet so much that they love those ionic baths just cause they're grateful to be pampered... btw, if you put plain water in those foot baths and run it without ever setting your feet into it, you'd be surprised how nasty looking that water will still get ;o)
