Ancient Chinese medicine has been using foot detox methods to clean the body of toxins for centuries. According to the Chinese reflexology system, the feet have natural energy zones linked to every single organ in the body, which means that we can stimulate these points and clean the organs of toxins.
There are many ways in which you can detox through your feet naturally, and we have selected the few best for you. Continue reading the article below to see the list.
Ionic foot bath
Ionic foot bath removes toxins from the body through a process called electrolysis. This process uses electrical current to create a chemical reaction which extracts the toxins. The ions from the water are absorbed into the body through the feet easily, eliminating the toxins quickly and efficiently. The ionic foot baths usually use warm water and salt to open up the pores and disinfect the feet – when the water turns dark, it means that the process is working.
Here are the best types of ionic foot bath:
