How does Foot Bath Detox Work?
Your body and water have something in common. Water is an almost perfect balance between positive and negative ions. As the human body is about 70% water, this makes for your body’s ability to interact with water in a positive manner. To understand how the detoxifying foot baths work you need to understand the terms: electrolysis, osmosis and ions.
Electrolysis
The food bath works through a process call electrolysis. This is done by generating a level of DC current in the water to cause the molecules in the water to split into positive and negative ions. The negative ions will be absorbed by the body, through your feet in a process called osmosis.
Osmosis
Osmosis is a process where a higher concentration of something moves into an area of lower concentration of the same substance, through a membrane. This means the negative ions will pass from the foot bath water through your skin (the membrane) into your body. There is generally a higher concentration of positive ions in the body than there are negative ions.
Ion
A negative ion is an atom that has lost or gained an electron. In this state it becomes a negative ion. A negative ion is smaller than most molecules and is easily absorbed via osmosis into the body.
While your feet are soaking in the foot bath the negative ions pass into your body, attach themselves to a positive ion in the body and draw the toxins out. It will take a few treatments to feel the benefits of this process.
What Toxins Get Released?
As toxins are released from your body during the foot bath detox, the water in the foot bath will start to turn a murky brown. In this brown water will be toxins from the environment, cellular debris, heavy metals, nicotine if you were a smoker, parasites and mucous. The color of the water also varies from person to person.
