Yes, it is possible to detox the body through the feet or any area that has skin, such as the back and abdomen. Because the skin is a porous organ, it can absorb substances, as well as excrete them. However, in order to facilitate detoxification, the right circumstances must be present, such as suction or ionization; ionization works essentially the same way as a magnet: by attracting oppositely charged particles, including toxins.

An ionic foot detox works by pulling the toxins out of the body through the feet by positively charging the hydrogen atoms in the water. This positive charge attracts negatively charged toxins, pulling them out of the body similar to the way magnets work. The ions in the footbath water hold a charge that enables them to bind to any heavy metals and toxins in the body, effectively extracting them from the bottoms of the feet.

Yes, ionic foot baths can remove heavy metals; heavy metals such as aluminum, tin, arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury can accumulate in the body, causing adverse effects. Ionic foot baths can assist in the purification of these metals from the body, improving overall health.

After an ionic foot bath, patients often report feeling an increase in energy levels, mental clarity, and an overall improvement in wellbeing. Benefits of ionic foot baths include:

Balances the body’s pH levels — An acidic pH is a hazardous environment; because it is characterized by lower oxygen levels, healthy bacteria enter an anaerobic state, causing them to secrete toxins and resulting in illness. By balancing the body’s pH levels to be more alkaline, the healthy bacteria have the oxygen they need to function properly, providing healthful benefits.

Cleanses the body of heavy metals — Heavy metals can accumulate in the body due to their apparent omnipresence in the modern world. Heavy metals are known to cause a myriad of negative effects; removing these from the body supports good health and lowers the risk of many diseases.

Boosts the mood, relieves stress — Many people experience high levels of stress, which is well-known to cause a plethora of adverse health effects. Ionic footbaths can help to relieve stress and improve mood, which affects all other aspects of health.

Other benefits include:

• Reduction in inflammation
• Enhances the body’s internal detoxifying system

After an ionic foot bath, the body’s detoxification system is improved; most patients benefit from a series of treatments to achieve the best results.
