How the Ionic Foot Bath works
-
The ionic detox is a therapy that uses negative ions to cleanse the body of toxins. The ions attach themselves to the toxins and then are flushed out through the feet, which are immersed in a Himalayan or Sea salt saltwater based foot bath.
-
The main point of these foot detoxes is to make the body’s pH more “alkaline,” but what exactly is the importance of being alkaline?
-
It assists the body’s natural detoxification process and boosts your immune system. An ionic detox helps to facilitate the alkalization process through the process of ionization, which removes “free radicals” from the body.
-
An alkaline body is crucial to a person’s health. Diseases thrive in an acidic environment. So basically, the less acidic your body is and the more alkaline, the less prone you are to contracting a disease, such as osteoporosis or cancer.
-
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) reports that up to 85% of all illnesses are caused by toxins and pollutants in our bodies. The human body functions best when the ions are balanced at 80% negative and 20% positive. So, how do we achieve this?
-
What we put into our body, such as the foods we consume, have either acidic or alkalizing properties. Check out the food charts for yourself here. The more of the higher alkaline foods you can incorporate into your diet the better.

DO IONIC FOOT BATHS REMOVE HEAVY METALS?
​
-
Ionic foot detoxes have become increasingly popular as a way to remove potentially toxic elements from the body.
-
The theory is that by soaking your feet in a bath of salt water, you can draw out heavy metals and other toxins that have accumulated in your body over time.
-
Some studies have shown that foot detox baths can indeed remove heavy metals from the body, while other studies have been unable to replicate these results. As more research is conducted, we will likely better understand the efficacy of ionic foot detox in removing heavy metals. In the meantime, many people continue using foot detoxes to detoxify their bodies and promote overall health.
WHY DOES THE WATER CHANGE COLOR IN A FOOT DETOX?
​
-
Have you ever wondered why the water changes color when you use a detox foot bath?
-
-
When you immerse your feet in the water, the electrical current causes an ion exchange to take place. This means that positively charged ions are attracted to the negative ions in the water, and vice versa.
-
The result is that impurities are drawn out of your body and into the water. So, while there is no definitive proof that detox foot baths are effective, the color change does indicate that something is happening on a molecular level.
IS THE IONIC DETOX GOOD FOR EVERYBODY?
-
Most people can benefit from this therapy, as it is gentle and safe. It is especially good for those suffering from gastrointestinal disorders, skin conditions, fungal or yeast infections, and cancer.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU DETOX YOUR FEET?
​
-
As any seasoned spa-goer knows, a good foot detox can do wonders for your overall health and wellbeing. But how often should you give your feet a break? The answer may surprise you!
-
While detoxing your feet once a week is generally recommended, some experts say that twice a week is even better.
-
The reason for a regular foot bath is that our feet are constantly exposed to toxins and chemicals. So our feet may benefit from a more frequent detox, which draws toxins from the feet and benefits the entire body.
-
If you often wear high heels or spend a lot of time on your feet, you may want to consider increasing the frequency of your foot detoxes.
-
However, it’s important to listen to your body and consult with a professional before making any changes to your routine.
-
With our help, you can find the perfect balance for your individual needs.
