OT - Does Foot Detox (detoxification) Machine Really Detoxify?

[Guest guest]

I have received nearly 50

emails from our clients and newsletter rs regarding foot detox and its

results. And this article may guide you to the right path.

 

Foot Detox was originated and translated from a Japanese legend occurred

about 1,600 years ago. It was narrated by a group of sickly people and monks

who made pilgrimage. One evening, in a deep mountain, the group looked around

to find a place to rest their exhausted body. They saw a hot spring streaming

out of the rock where they decided to make their shanty for the night. Before

going to sleep, they placed their feet to the hot stream to relieve their

fatigue. When they woke up the next morning, they noticed that they felt

healthier than ever before. The group completed their journey of pilgrimage,

and they were informed by their physicians that their sicknesses were gone.

for images.

 

Did you know what Foot Spa or Ashiyu in Japanese is? Just soak

your feet in a shallow hot spring. If your feet become warm, then your whole

body may become warm, too. You will feel relaxed just like you are taking a

bath in hot spring.

 

This occurrence of miraculous healing power spread around from villages to

villages. Thousands of people followed the same route of pilgrimage, and some

doctors and renowned physicians found that foot spa has something to do with

healing.

 

Today, we know the healing power of foot spa with different kinds of mineral

contents in hot

springs. Or

with modern foot spa equipped with electronics device such as an ion producer

and adding herbs in it, are sold.

 

However, none of Japanese manufacturers claim that it can do detoxification

through feet. They just claim that it can help in rejuvenating your health,

removing fatigue and other stress-oriented sicknesses (e.g. neuralgia,

rheumatism, lumbago, poor blood circulation, hemorrhoids, fatigue, dry skin,

bruise, frostbite, chapped hand, miliaria (or heat rash), allergies, pimples,

migraine, sleeping problems, headaches, sinusitis, stiff neck and shoulders,

sport injuries).

 

The recommended temperature is 40-42 °C, and time duration of about 10-25

minutes per treatment. You can do it many times as you desire.

 

Is foot detox really true? Actually, there is no definite medical proof

about foot detox. Our own research also indicates either "Yes" or

"No". Whatever the results of our researches, it is true that foot

spa with minerals or herbs or electrodes added, will help in relieving fatigue

and stress, and energize the body system, leading you to good health.

 

We have another information that foot reflexology, an ancient natural

therapy which utilizes energy zones on the feet, can provide relief for variety

of illnesses as well as energize the body system. Foot reflexologies such as

acupuncture and moxibustion have been practiced since 4,500 years ago in China, Egypt, Korea, and Japan. Now it became very popular in many parts of the

world including Europe and the US.

 

According to a Chinese acupuncture theory, there are reflex areas in the feet

which correspond to all parts of the body and these areas are arranged in such

a way to form a map of the body. Scientifically, foot detoxification is unknown

and we need to research more. We believe that stress, fatigue, and

environmental pollution maybe creating toxins in the body and its accumulation

may also lead to sickness.

 

Our own research indicated that foot spa does not clean your body's wastes or

toxic wastes as others claim. Foot detox as they claim seems to have the color

of hot water change to dark or brown when toxic matters including toxic fats in

the body are diluted in the water. But this seems to be false.

 

Our research indicated that for stress and fatigue which are probably caused by

poor circulation of blood and body fluid, foot spa can find great relief

without drugs at home. To make foot spa more effective, natural herbs you

probably have in your kitchen can help a lot. Radish or carrot leaves, tea,

orange skin, and many other leftovers. These herbs help you prevent getting

hundreds of sicknesses, too.

 

Among many commercialized foot detox or spa machines, they claim that their

machines create negative ion in the water that revitalize the dead cells and

organs in the body. There is no definite proof that water can be ionized

properly. A water ionizer or ionized water may supposedly mean that the water

is ionized, although it is unclear what this claim means precisely. It is

claimed that water in an electric field will self-ionize. Pure water at room

temperature and normal pressure always self-ionizes to 10-14 M, and it is

impossible to force water permanently into a higher state of ionization without

adding other chemicals. However, even if it were possible to ionize water, it

is difficult to prove it.

 

And most of them claim that foot detox machines:

 

1. Enhance body detoxification - UNCERTAIN

2. Deactivate viruses, bacteria, yeast, and fungus - UNCERTAIN.

3. Reduce pain - YES (but it seems muscle or lymph-oriented pain only)

4. Purify the blood and lymph - NO (it helps in circulating them)

5. Stimulate the immune system - NO

6. Promote weight loss - YES and NO

7. Relieve tension - YES

8. Reduce inflammation - Depends on the sickness

9. Toxic matters and toxic fats can be detoxicated - NO

10. Improve oxygen levels in the body - YES and NO

11. Balances negative ions in the body - NO

12. Liver, kidney and parasite cleaning - NO

13. Removes wrinkles, acne and other skin problems - YES and NO

14. A certain brand of Foot Spa detox with negative ions claims that it

cleanse all Vital Organs - There are no negative ions in it.

 

Now, you understand that foot spa is good in revitalizing or rejuvenating your

health. It may make you feel younger, especially when herbs or some medicinal

properties are added to the water. It is very evident that it has power to heal

some maladies.

 

If you are traveling to several hot springs as seen in the above photos, the natural hot spring

contains minerals which are usually specified in the guidebooks of travel

agents.

 

The following lists are some additives you can find in your kitchen, backyard

garden, or on a nearby mountain.

 

1. Leaves of pine tree - boil about 5 minutes

2. Green tea

3. Dried skin of citrus fruits

4. Grinded garlic, ginger, and hot pepper

5. Bamboo leaves

6. Dried radish leaves

7. Corn silk or maize

 

There are hundreds of additives known since hundreds of years ago in Japan. However, the above noted are the well-known

additives for general use. All of them are good for treating skin allergies,

dry and oily skin, fatigue, stress, insomnia, asthma, headache, rheumatism,

arthritis, common cold and many others according to ancient books. I have

requested our research teams to study the above for more details.

 

Anyway, we know that foot spa is good for our health, and with additive, it

makes more efficient in rejuvenating our body. As you know, there are patch

materials such as external pain relieving patch or stopping cigarette smoking

patch. Medicinal properties are cooperated with the patch. By submerging your

feet into the hot water (diluted with medicinal properties), medicinal

properties will travel to our body through the feet, rejuvenating our health.

 

History tells its effectiveness. Why don't you try it? Oh, it is more

recommendable to use wooden pail rather than metallic or plastic ones.

Wooden pail has also power to heal your sickness according to the wisdom of

ancestors.
