Do Foot Detox Patches Work?

by Therese Pope

Overview

Foot detox patches are used as an alternative remedy for body cleansing. According to Chinese reflexology, toxins travel down the body and accumulate in the feet (meridian points). When too many toxins accumulate in these meridian points, illnesses and disease can occur. Foot detox patches are designed to draw out these potential harmful toxins from the feet, which helps boost the immune system.

The patches are made from natural ingredients such as tree extract and stick like bandages to the soles of the feet. The patches are applied before bed and work overnight to draw out toxins from the feet.

Benefits

Accumulated toxins in the body can sometimes cause illness, fatigue and restlessness. Because the foot patches work with the meridian points on the soles of the feet, the patches can help ease pain in the body and increase energy levels.
Function

The function of the foot pads are to cleanse the body of impurities and chemicals. Toxins from the environment, household chemicals and even toxins formed inside the colon and intestines can result in illness and disease.
