The theory of the ionic foot detox therapy shows that the ionic balance of the body can be restored by simultaneously eliminating the harmful toxins. It works by surrounding the natural pores of the skin with a large number of ions which interact with the ion channels of the cells and help re-establish the ionic balance of the cells and the body as a whole.

Ions are tiny charged particles, basically atoms or molecules which have gained or lost electrons; those that gain electrons are called negative ions and those that lose electrons are called positive ions. All salts for example are ionic in nature and that’s why saline water is a very good conductor of electricity. With the aid of ions, the body works well. The ionic balance inside and outside of the body cells must always be constantly present because when balance is distracted, the cells will not function well and thus making the ionic detoxification process effective.

Ionic Foot detox therapy is available at many spas and foot therapy centers. You can also try ionic foot detox kits that promise the same benefits as the professional therapists.

The ionic foot detox kits are generally ion generators that you can use with warm water and electrolytes (can be salt) and by just placing your feet on it. The ion generator passes a small current that excite and channel the ions. Color of the water changes as the procedure progresses, the color varies according to the area being detoxified, an ionic foot detox color chart is provided for reference with most kits.

For those that are too lazy or busy to try the foot detox bath, Detox patches are also available. Foot Detox Patches consist of patches of natural ingredients that stimulate the pores and helps in ionic detoxification.

Ionic foot detoxification promises benefits like stronger immune system, healthy skin, relief from pain, detoxified liver and kidneys etc.

For the health benefits to continue, the ionic detox therapy must also be done regularly to keep your body away from bad toxins all the time.
