Body Cleansing Foot Baths

by VeronicaP

Overview

Ion cleansing foot baths are considered by some holistic healers to be an excellent and gentle way of flushing toxins from the body. This simple act is believed to remove destructive and unhealthy toxins from the body in a relatively short amount of time. Ion cleansing can done by a professional or, with the purchase of the ion cleansing foot bath, can be easily done at home.
Why Use a Foot Bath

Sometimes referred to as a detox cleanse, foot spa, ion cleanse or detox foot bath, all ion cleanses require a large bowl which, emits a certain vibratory frequency, for you to place the feet. While in a seated position, place your bare feet into the warm water bath that has ion array and mineral salt added (you can find these ingredients at your local health food store). The foot bath will then emit a small current through the water causing the pores of your feet to open largely, which is believed to help the toxins drain. The entire process should take no more than 30 minutes.

Effects

Foot cleansing is believed to work because the feet are the last place gravity pulls your body's toxins. As you go through the cleanse the water in the bath will begin to change colors. This is said to happen as the different organs in your body are being cleansed.
Benefits

As we go through life our body naturally builds up acid toxins in our various organs. Through a cleansing foot bath, your feet take in millions of negatively stimulating ions that work to alkalize your bodies' tissue and blood. This helps to remove the buildup of acid wastes that slowly attack your body's vital organs, glands and tissues. Regular use of the ion cleansing foot baths prevents the dysfunction associated with the acid buildup from occurring.
