Foot detox pads

One of the latest crazes in health and cleansing today is the foot detox pad, but can a patch really help to detox your body?

How do they work?

You'll find different opinions on this, some say it's just a gimmick while others claim it works wonders. Manufacturers say it is formulated on century-old Eastern medicine that uses the science of reflexology. In reflexology, all your organs are represented on the soles of the feet. Since the feet are more porous than any other place on the body, it is a great place to apply a patch that will draw out toxins. The foot detox pad helps cleanse you by drawing out toxins and toxic metals through your feet. It works with your own body's natural defense system which works to move toxins away from your vital organs drawing them down towards the feet. As your body is already working in that way, the detox patch helps it along with its combination of Chinese herbs which literally draw the harmful toxins out of your body.

What are they made of?

These detox foot patches are filled with all-natural materials. They include tourmaline - a mineral that we often see in jewelry. It produces negative ions, which work on the meridian points of your feet helping draw out the toxins and aiding circulation. They also contain cleansing herbs like peppermint and eucalyptus as well as tree saps and barks, which also help to extract toxins.

Application

The patches or sachets, look like big teabags and are filled with a mixture of herbs. You apply them to the soles of your feet and secure them on with an easy to remove tape. Then you simply go to sleep and the foot patches work during the night to draw the toxins out of your body leaving you feeling healthy and refreshed when you wake up. Not only will they draw out toxins, but they'll help the lymphatic system do it's job and also help to remove excess water from your system.

Results

While some may say that the foot detox pad really doesn't do anything, I've use them myself and I can say they do offer a good nights sleep and they make your feet feel great! If that's the very least that they do then so be it, they're inexpensive enough and a good nights sleep is worth more than the cost of the patches to me, if there is the added benefit of some toxins being removed then all the better! I would still recommend doing a full body detox using herbs though as this seems to be the most effective method to detox your system.
