 An Innovative Treatment For Toxins Named Foot Detox

Diet detox programs have been used since a few decades and still gaining popularity but it has been appreciated that not all people are fit for a detox diet. It is here that a foot detox comes to rescue.

Foot Detox, an Introduction:

In foot detox, the detoxifying agents are not consumed but applied to skin in form of patches or pads. Though applications similar to Patches have been in human use since historic times, it was Japan to first develop the foot detox as a form of alternative medicine. The concept of a patch or pad is rather new but the ingredients used are tested and have been in use in Chinese and Japanese medicine for more than two thousand years. In Japan, one of the fundamental principles is that the health of a person is dependent upon the steady and efficient functioning of the blood circulatory system. Any change in the composition of body fluids or disorder in the circulation can be of a harmful consequence to the body. In Japan there is thus the point of view that ailments are due to an imbalance arisen as a result of differential mode of interaction between man's constituents and the environment.

How does foot detox work?

Foot detox is based on the knowledge of reflexology. It means that there are points or areas on the sole of foot corresponding to or representing internal organs of the body. Detoxification of these points will detoxify corresponding organs like a patch (foot detox) applied to the area of sole representing liver will detoxify the liver itself and so forth. It may even relieve the pain of an internal organ. According to the proponents of old research from Japan; man's soles are the most important organs after the heart because the soles of human feet bear greatest numbers of capillary endings. It is due to this underlying concept that such foot detox products are recommended to be applied directly on the soles. These often leave sticky marks on the body surface where they were applied; these marks are actually the sites of absorption of toxins by these patches.

Different forms of foot detox:

We have already mentioned foot pads or patches. Other forms are foot spa; that is soaking the foot in a warm detoxifying herbal solution for about quarter of an hour.

Synthetic solution is another option. it is in fact using foot massager to rid the body of toxins. It is supposed to activate the body processes. If combined with an infrared warmer the efficiency is increased.

Newer foot detox programs are being introduced. Variety combined with ready accessibility and that too, at economical prices is encouraging more and more people to take up one or the other of the foot detox regimens.
Through foot detox, people are being relived of pains and aches, swellings and inflammations and above all they are enjoying peaceful sleep through the night by the simple application of a foot spa.
