Exposure to toxins is a daily part of life. Our air and water are filled with various pollutants, while cleaning supplies and even food additives such as preservatives in high concentrations are toxic to all of our organs and natural body systems. Even the products we use in our hair have a high level of chemicals than can have negative effects on our bodies. The body naturally detoxifies through metabolism and sweat. Unfortunately, with chemical toxins at an all-time high, this may not be enough.
The aquatic detoxification known as Ion Therapy, aids the body in natural detox using cations or positive ions to flood the body and flush out the negative toxins. The water is ionized and sends a very small, charged current through your body. This generates an increase in density of positively charged ions in the body, which overwhelms the negative toxins and flushes them out through the pores in your feet. You simply place your feet in a footbath for 20-30 minutes and let the ions do their work.
There are many diseases that have been linked to high levels of toxins in the body: Parkinson’s, Autism, Fibromyalgia, kidney disease, heart disease, and cancer. Toxics are carcinogens, and the longer they remain in the body, the more likely they are to cause irreversible damage.
The simple ion therapy treatment can be part of any spa routine, as a relaxing addition or alternative to a sauna. Many alternative medicine spas provide this treatment for $50-$60 a session, or in value packages.
It is essential to cleanse the body of toxins, a healthy diet high in alkaline as well as regular exercise are a few things you can do to ensure your body is not bogged down with detrimental chemicals. An Ion Therapy treatment is just another, faster, and more effective way to rid the body of chemicals in one sitting. If you have any feelings of malaise, this treatment option can help you. For those of you who are completely healthy, this treatment will make you feel light and fresh, giving you more energy for other tasks.
