You may have seen pictures similar to the above. Many manufacturers and practitioners claim that it removes toxic matter in the body by soaking your feet in an aqua tub. The treatment is normally given by soaking your feet in water with salt added to aid the conductivity of the water. Then, low electrical current is transmitted through two electrodes.
They claim that water turning reddish brown is the toxic matter removed from the body. Depending on the color, they claim that yellowish color is from the kidney and bladder toxins, orange is from arthritis-related illness, dark brown is from liver-related diseases, and so on. Scientifically, these claims are 100% nonsensical!
Here’s what really happens. The color of water changes due to a process called “electrolysis”. The brown toxins you see are from the rust generated by the corrosion of the iron electrodes! The different variations in color can be accounted by varying amount of salt added to the water and variations in the compositions of the electrodes. The color of water will change with or without soaking your feet in it.
Dialysis results from several sources also show that the brown stuff that appears in the bathwater is iron-based, and that the bathwater showed no sign of urea or creatinine, supporting the fact that detoxification does not apply. In fact, some marketers admitted this and opted in emphasizing “energy balance” in their sales pitches. They also use pseudoscience of toxins, bio-energy, bio-stimulation, cellular energy, and other science jargons to mislead people.
Also, among many commercialized detox foot spa machines, they claim that their machines create negative ions in the water that revitalize the dead cells and organs in the body. There is no definite proof that water can be ionized properly. Ionized water may supposedly mean that the water is ionized, although it is unclear what this claim means precisely. It is claimed that water in an electric field will self-ionize. Pure water at room temperature and normal pressure always self-ionizes to 10–14 M, and it is impossible to force the water permanently into a higher state of ionization without adding other chemicals. However, even if it is possible to ionize the water, it is difficult to prove it.
what is an detox machine?
ionic foot detox are hydro-galvanic devices designed to aid the body’s natural detoxification process. it is a simple & effective way to stimulate natural body cleanse & draw out toxins and heavy metals through the skin pores. a foot detox session begins by placing your feet in a tub filled with salty warm water. then a coil is put into the foot tub. it produces a mild electrical current that decomposes water molecules. the electromagnetic field that builds around the device helps the release of toxins and other impurities that have been trapped in the fat tissues through concentrated sweat. an ionic foot detox encourages profound ion detox cleanse due to the combined effect of warm water, ionization & by the strategic use of the feet where sweat glands are concentrated.
What do the water colors mean?
We currently do not use color charts. There is no scientific evidence backing up any20color chart as to where in the body the specific colors are coming from. You must understand, what is coming out of the body is microscopic and may not always be visible. The color cannot diagnose what you are detoxifying. Lets just say you are detoxifying in general the whole body and organs. We can match up the colors according to what organ was detoxified but the truth is that you will see many colors. So how does anyone know that one single color is coming directly from a single organ that you just detoxified? You may detoxify more than one organ in one session. Until there is some documentation, we suggest any interpretation of water the color to be viewed with some skepticism.
However, if you are interested, this is the color chart which is in commonly utilized. Judge for yourself depending on your intake and the colors which coordinate with your session. It is just difficult to only pinpoint one color since it will turn many colors during your session and they mix. These colors do hold truth but do not entirely base your session on this chart
Yellow Green– kidney, bladder, prostate, gynecological problems
Orange Brown -arthritis, rheumatism
Black– liver, alcohol, respiratory problems
Brown -liver, smoking, free radicals, waste products
Black Flakes -heavy metals, diabetes, tetanic
Red Patches -blood clots, bruised easily
Dark Green– gall bladder, cardiovascular problems, indigestion
White Bubbles -lymphatic toxins, allergy, irregular mensus
White Cheese– yeast, poor enzymes, constipation
Oil Film– fats, triglycerides
