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.

Why do you need to re balance or detox your body?
The body needs to cleanse itself of toxins each day. Toxins the body cannot eliminate are stored in fatty tissue, joints, muscles, and the brain. These toxins can clog cell membrane walls which are then unable to absorb enough nutrition to support normal cell functioning. Over time, this leads to reduced vitality and weakened immune and lymphatic systems. You can see this visually on pH strips as toxins tend to be acidic and reduce the pH balance. The Aqua Chi™ Detox Foot Spa from Aqua-Chi-Detox helps the body re balance itself, improve pH, and increase energy levels.

How many sessions do I need?
Initially, 6–8 sessions are recommended – once or twice a week. This allows your body to completely purge the accumulated toxins.

A monthly or bi-monthly maintenance program is recommended to ensure that toxins do not re-accumulate due to absorption from environmental exposure. The appropriate number of sessions will be determined by your body – your feeling of well-being – your energy levels.

What can I expect to feel?
While each person’s experience is entirely different (according to the type of toxins and which systems of the body have been stressed), most people experience a re-balancing period directly after the session. While you can resume normal daily activities following your session, it is recommended that you allow some time to rest and relax afterwards, so your body can more easily and quickly “re-calibrate.”

Some people have felt tired following their sessions, while others felt an immediate rejuvenation and rebound in their energy levels. It all depends on what is going on with each individual and his or her body.

How do toxins build up?
Detoxification is the body’s natural process for eliminating or neutralizing toxins via the liver, the kidneys, perspiration, and exhalation.

Ever since the industrial revolution and the post-World War II petrochemical industry, toxins have been accumulating in the human body faster than they can be eliminated.

The body absorbs toxins from our environment. The toxins include such things as industrial chemicals, pesticides, food additives, heavy metals, tobacco, and air pollution.

How does this process of detoxification work?
There are more sweat glands in your feet per inch than anywhere on your body. The array creates an effect that raises the energetic levels found within the cells of the body, helping boost assimilation and elimination at the cellular level. The salt increases the conductivity of the water so that the effect can occur. Hence, the color changes seen in the water are related to the ionic exchange occurring.

Can anyone use the system?
If an individual has been quite sick, we recommend that he or she should go through the process at a slower pace.

A schedule of once a week or every other week would be advisable, as the process of detoxification continues even after the session has formally ended.

Drinking more water is extremely beneficial and we encourage you to drink more during and after your session (and always!). (Dehydration – the lack of enough water in your body – is one of the common denominators of all diseases!)
