Detoxify

WHAT IS AN IONIC FOOT BATH?

When an ionic footbath array begins the process it attempts to raise the pH of the water from an acidic state to a more alkaline state (acidic items- coca cola, coffee, pesticides—alkaline items-celery, most herbs, and spirulina). pH (potential of hydrogen) is a measurement of the concentration of hydrogen Ions in a solution. The heightened alkalinity of the footbath interacts with the newly soluble items which carry an acidic tendency and “neutralizes” them in the bath. This is similar to pet odor removers [urine is quite acidic, and the odor product is quite alkaline- they combine and move the wet spot back toward a balanced pH (7.0 is balance between the two)]. Or like baking soda in a refrigerator, the soda is very alkaline so, the smelly oxidative releases of the food breaking down can be absorbed, or “neutralized” by the soda. This is a simplistic version of the process, with all the above factors involved being variables, each session becomes unique to the location and to the person.

This overview is a very basic attempt to explain complex, chemical and atomic level reactions that occur in an ionic footbath. If you are more curious, there is a wealth of information out on the internet and at your local library about these processes.

Wash Toxins Away

The soles of the feet, palms of our hands and armpits are three of the body's discharge pathways for toxins (hence the odor). The use of antiperspirant blocks one of these pathways, and over time can result in an accumulation of chemicals in the body. The feet, being the largest pathway of the body, have been used for centuries to eliminate toxins. Traditionally, feet were placed in salty sand, to detoxify. This method however was effective but slow, and had limitations. The foot bath uses a direct micro-current that is very similar to low voltage electro-stimulation or cold laser, both of which have been proven to increase cellular ATP (stored energy). Introducing this increase in energy stimulate the cells to purge toxins at a much higher rate. The warm salt water is used as a conduit for exchanging ions- in other words the foot bath is like a magnet that energizes the cells and draws out toxic material right before your eyes.

Water, metal and salt will combine to produce a light water color change, as well as objects in the water even without feet being submerged. The Bio-Tox Foot Detoxification Spa neutralizes toxins in the water the same way it neutralizes toxins in the body. Remember, the body itself has high water content, and this is where toxins become isolated. As a general rule, depending on geographical location, about 20 to 40% of what you see in the water after a foot bath comes from regional toxins in the water, and the remaining 60 to 80 % comes from the client's body. Color charts are helpful for estimating what toxins are being pulled from the body, but it is important to remember that there is a great deal happening that is invisible to the eye.
