Detoxification in this manner has origins stemming back 5000 years to the Eastern Indian traditions of Ayur Vedic medicine. This system of healing used concentrated sea salt baths to draw out impurities in the body. Today Ionic Foot Bath Detoxification is used to detoxify patients as a precursor to various  therapies. The premise is that a body once detoxified is now younger (in function) and thereby more responsive to complementary therapies. The treatment of certain chronic states; conditions stemming from toxic build‑up in the body, have been enhanced dramatically both in terms of the time it takes to heal and the extent in which healing occurs.

Therapeutic Applications...
 

Ionic Foot Bath Detoxification has many therapeutic applications. This type of therapy can be used as a precursor to the treatment of specific conditions that are connected to toxic congestion in the body, including:
 

• Constipation

• Fatigue

• Headaches

• Kidney or Bladder issues (Cystitis)

• Lung issues (Emphysema, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Asthma etc.)

• Skin conditions (Dermatitis, Eczema, Psoriasis, Rosacea)

How An Ionic Foot Bath Actually Works...
 

Through a process called electrolysis, the water in an Ionic Foot Bath (in combination with added sea salt) is charged into positive and negative ions. Toxins are also charged particles and as they circulate through the blood in the region of the foot, they are then naturally drawn to their opposite charge in the water that the foot is submersed in. Initiated through the attraction of opposite charges and facilitated through both osmosis and diffusion, any negatively charged toxins are drawn to positively charged ions in the water and any positively charge toxins are drawn out into the water by negatively charged ions. In the end these toxins are then neutralized in the water of the foot bath. What you see with a change in colour to the water in the foot bath relates in a visual way to accumulated toxins from the body being released from the body into this bath.
