A detox foot bath is a specific machine that helps pull toxins out of the body through the feet by putting ions in the water your feet are soaking in. These ions have a negative charge. The negative charge attracts the positively charged toxins in your body. The ions in the foot bath water hold a charge that enables them to bind to any heavy metals and toxins in your body, similar to how a magnet works. This allows the toxins to be pulled out through the bottoms of your feet. 

Foot detoxes are becoming increasingly popular as a way to rid the body of harmful toxins. I purchased one and have been using it since 2006. Since its popularity and patients asking about it, I also bought one for the office now! Potential toxins can range from using aluminum foil, and impurities in the air, to chemicals in your home and beauty products. Here's what you need to know if you're curious about what a foot detox is and if it can help you.

Everyone, except for pregnant women and those with open sores or an infection on their feet, can benefit from doing a foot detox bath. It can be beneficial if you are experiencing the following:

• Athlete's foot
• Arthritis
• Allergies
• Chronic pain
• Chemical sensitivities
• Autoimmune disease
• Edema
• Inflammation
• Psoriasis

The number and frequency of foot detox baths vary for everyone and will be determined by your practitioner. There are quite a few ionic foot bath machines. However, after all of my research, only two devices I have experienced got good results, KiScience Advanced Hydrogen Detox Foot Spa and EB Pro Foot Bath.
