How An cell spa detox machine Works
To know how ions affect the body, it is important to know what they are. Ions are simple atoms which have become charged through the balance of the particles within them, namely protons and electrons.
Protons are positively charged particles of an atom’s nucleus; electrons are small, negatively charged particles surrounding the nucleus. The dance between these two charged particles determines the atom’s overall charge. An atom is considered negatively charged if it contains more electrons than protons. An atom is considered positively charged if it contains less electrons than protons.
The human body is an electric system, and collects charged particles from the environment around it. In the body, positive ions can be considered bad; negative ions are good. Environmental toxins from the air we breathe and the overly processed foods we eat have a positive charge. These positively charged toxins can cling to the extra electrons in the body, causing a buildup of toxins, which is associated with both common ailments and chronic disorders.
An ion detox using an ionic foot bath introduces a great number of negatively charged ions into the body through the skin by way of a warm foot soak. The warm water increases the absorption rate of these ions. When the negatively charged ions enter the body, they attract the positively charged toxins. As the two ions meet, they neutralize each other, and are able to be easily excreted from the system through urination and the sweat glands.
With any ionic detox, it is important that the body has sufficient water for excreting these waste particles. Should the body be insufficiently hydrated, the toxins may remain in the sweat glands or simply travel to another part of the body.
How Long should one detox?
We recommend 3x a week for 2-4 weeks. As with most alternative therapies we believe it is good to give the body a rest and let it completely balance out without external stimuli for a period of 2-4 weeks. If you are feeling well we recommend maintenance sessions of 1-2 times per week. Everyone is unique and each person will have to adjust to his or her own bodys needs. Consulting an alternative practitioner familiar with Ionic detox therapy is also recommended.
Wht is The process:
When an foot ionic detox array begins the process it attempts to raise the pH of the water from an acidic state to a more alkaline state (acidic items- coca cola,orange juice, tomato sauc e, coffee, pineapple, pesticides—alkaline items-celery, most herbs, and spirulina, some fishes). pH (potential of hydrogen) is a measurement of the concentration of hydrogen Ions in a solution. The heightened alkalinity of the foot bath interacts with the newly soluble items which carry an acidic tendency and “neutralizes” them in the bath. Like baking soda in a refrigerator, the soda is very alkaline so, the smelly oxidative releases of the food breaking down can be absorbed, or “neutralized” by the soda. They combine and move back toward a balanced pH (7.0 is balance between the two)This overview is a very basic attempt to explain complex, chemical and atomic level reactions that occur in an ionic foot bath. Because of poor diet and high stress, we tend to accumulate & store excessive quantities of waste products. During a 30 minute session the ions enter your body and begin to neutralize these tissue acid wastes. This process is called reverse osmosis.
Who cannot have the treatment?
Foot detox is safe for most people. However, the following should not have the treatment:
Persons with pacemaker / metallic implants, or electromagnetic devices
Pregnancy/suspected pregnancy
Persons with implanted organs
Epileptics
Those undergoing radiation or chemotherapy
Persons with open wounds on their feet
Newly-operated persons (should wait until fully recovered or at least 6 weeks post op)
Seriously ill or very weak persons
Diabetic on insulin
