In todays world, we are unfortunately exposed to many heavy metals (mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium etc.) in our environment, which primarily come from water and air pollution, food, medicine and supplement contamination. Heavy metals can be damaging and disruptive to the body’s organ systems, hormones, and nutrient balance, as well as create neurological and cognitive impairments. 

An ionic foot detox bath combines warm water, salts, and an ionizing machine to help draw these toxins out of the body. The ionizing unit induces a safe low-voltage electric current into the water which splits the H20 into OH- (hydroxide) and H+ (hydrogen) ions through a process known as “self-ionization” or “auto-dissociation” of water. These ions are said to then attract and neutralize oppositely charged impurities (i.e. heavy metals) and flush them out through one’s feet into the water. Salt is added to increase water conductivity.
