What is a Detox Foot Bath?

A detox foot bath helps your body cleanse by drawing out heavy metals and toxins through the numerous pores on the soles of the feet.  The therapy begins by placing the feet in a foot tub filled with warm spring water and sea salt.  A coil is then placed in the tub.  The coil acts on the salt water by iodizing it, which allows the toxins and impurities to be released in sweat from the soles of the feet.   A foot bath is especially effective for this method of cleansing since you have more sweat glands in your feet per inch than anywhere else on your entire body. 

Why is a foot detox bath important?

Your body is constantly cleansing itself of toxins that result from the intake of foods, water, and air.  When there are more toxins than nutrients in the cells of your body, you will notice a lack of pep and energy.  This is your body’s message that something is wrong and needs correction.  The body naturally eliminates or neutralizes toxins via the liver, kidneys, perspiration and exhalation.  However, for most people, toxins accumulate faster than the body can eliminate them.  This is when treatments, such as the foot detox bath, can be beneficial.  The foot detox bath will allow a greater level of waste products to be excreted and therefore help your body to regulate nutrients and oxygen to the tissues.  This will help restore your body to wellness.

What can I expect during a foot detox bath? 

A foot detox bath is very simple.  You sit in a chair and place your feet in the foot spa that contains warm spring water, sea salt, and a foot coil.  A session will last for 30 minutes.  After the session is complete, you will be able to go back to work, or do any daily activity that you would normally do.  Afterwards, we recommend that you drink plenty of water for the rest of the day and take a mineral supplement because the detoxification will pull out some of the minerals that naturally bind with the heavy metals and toxins that are eliminated during the bath.
