How does the Ionic Detox Foot Bath work?

The Ionic Detox Foot Bath produces high concentrations of negative hydrogen ions through the process of electrolysis. These ions are absorbed into the body by osmosis through the epidermis of the foot. Once inside the body, negative hydrogen ions act as a high-powered antioxidant and pro-oxidant (in the presence of transitional metals), pH balancer and the catalyst most responsible for ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate) production, our body’s greatest energy resource.

Why does the water color change?

It is due to the interaction of the metals from the array, sea salt, and minerals and impurities contained in the water along with the individuals contribution, creating an ionic field with the water. The water will change color regardless of whether you have an individual’s feet in the water or not, because the metallurgic reaction of the array and the polarization of the solids and minerals in the water. However; there will normally be 2-3 times the cellular debris within the water when the session is combined with a individual.

Why does the water color vary from treatment to treatment?

Variations occur due to each individual’s energy state and toxicity levels as toxins are re-ionized at the molecular level and react with the metals of the array.

Will I feel any discomfort or pain during or after the session?

No, you shouldn’t feel any pain or discomfort during or after the foot ionization process. A slight tingling sensation in your leg however is perfectly normal. You should feel relaxed yet energetic after the session, as the foot bath puts your nervous system in a toned but relaxed state.

Can anyone use the foot bath?

The Ionic Detox Foot Bath should not be used by individuals who are epileptic or hemophiliac, or those with a pacemaker, implanted organs, metal or other electromagnetism devices or on blood thinners. It is also not recommended for those with open wounds on the feet, or for women during pregnancy or lactation. If you have any other concerns regarding the use of the spa for health reasons, we recommend that you consult your doctor. (Also see our Ionic D-Tox Foot Bath Contraindications page here.)

Should I remove my jewelry?

Any jewelry that will be in the water should be removed.

Why do some people feel tired after a treatment?

Some people may experience fatigue as the body’s detoxification process accelerates itself. This will balance itself as the body expels the toxins naturally and regenerates itself.

What are the bubbles coming from the array?

The bubbles are the separation of the hydrogen and oxygen in the water as the ionic field is being created.

How long are the sessions and how often can I use it?

An Ionic Detox Foot Bath session is 30 minutes long. Sessions can be as close as every other day.
