I could dazzle you with a complicated explanation of how a detox foot bath works. But you probably know that is not what you are looking for. You just want to know why a detox foot bath helps make you feel better. Here is a thorough, concise, simplistic and clear explanation. The detox foot bath works to dramatically remove toxins from your body through your feet (the feet have the largest pores of your body). The foot bath accomplishes this toxin removal by energizing the water. The control head of a detox foot bath must deliver enough of an electrical current (must be at least 13.6 volts for proper ionization) through the ionizing plates (in the water) to generate negatively charged hydrogen ions. These ions travel through the body and attach themselves to toxic substances (which are positively charged). After being neutralized, the toxin particles are pulled through the skin (your feet) and out of the body via osmosis, attracted by the highly-concentrated ion field in the water. Or the toxins are loosened up enough to be removed from your body by our normal elimination processes. Also, when the ionization process is set in motion in your detox foot bath, the negative hydrogen ions, being produced in the water, raise the user’s pH to a more alkaline state. Why is this significant? The vast majority of people in the United States live in an acid state – their bodies contain an excess of hydrogen ions and their blood pH is lower than 7.45. Such people, as yourself, greatly benefit from exposure to high concentrations of negatively charged ions, bringing their bodies back into a more balanced acid-alkaline state.
