Why does the water color change?
It is due to the interaction of the metals from the array, sea salt, 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 of the metallurgic reaction to the array and the polarization of the solids and minerals in the water. HOWEVER, there will normally be 2-20 times the cellular debris within the water when the session is combined with an individual. The colors will also be dramatically different from person to person depending on where they have the toxins stored.
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.
What can I expect to feel during and after the footbath session?
Often a gentle tingling sensation can be felt during the footbath. After the footbath, it is typical to feel relaxed and have heightened mental clarity and a greater sense of well being. Some find that they sleep better while many people that are experiencing chronic joint and muscle pain report immediate relief.
It is also possible to feel a negative effect of detoxification. It is widely accepted that persons doing a detox may experience headache or flu like symptoms. The goal is to not detox too rapidly so that you avoid these symptoms. Compared to other detox methods, an ionic foot detox generally works well with the body and does not usually produce negative effects.
