What is an Ionic Foot Bath?
Many people use an ionic foot bath to assist in detoxifying the body. These baths work by drawing toxins out of your body through your feet to help the body to return to a more balanced state. The bath itself is a small basin which is filled with a warm saltwater mixture. You place your feet in the bath and then turn on electrodes. As your feet bathe, the ions in the water enter your skin and help any toxins leave through your pores. This detoxification process can happen in as little as 20 minutes, but a period of 30 minutes is recommended for adults.
How Does the Foot Bath Work?
The machine itself doesn't actually cause the detoxification process. The electrodes produce a small current which works with the water and the salt (which improves the conductivity in the water) to produce positive and negative ions. These ions enter the body through the feet and interact with the body. As the ions enter the body, they affect the chemical makeup of your cells, causing them to become more alkaline. The body is naturally more alkaline than acidic so this helps the body return to its natural state. When the cells are in this condition, they naturally begin to detoxify. Using an ionic foot bath once or twice a week can go a long way toward helping the body retain its natural balance.
