Ionic Detoxification Footbath: Available Through Many Chiropractors

As Americans become more environmentally aware, as increasing numbers of us catch the wave and practice "going green" for the benefit of ourselves, and future generations to live on the Earth, we are also learning about the impacts our treatment of the environment has on us internally. Exposure to an unfathomable array of chemicals in processed foods and cleaning supplies and metals such as lead and aluminum, just to name a few examples, has increased the level of toxic wastes held in the tissues of the body, overall. Because of this interest in means for asisting the body in cellular detoxification are on the rise. The Ionic Detoxification Footbath is a method of cellular detoxification that is safe, inexpensive and a most effective means of cleansing toxins from the body. I discovered it by referral from my Therapeuitc Massage Therapist, and it is available through many Chiropractors.

Why is the Ionic Detoxification Footbath so effective? We never see our bodies absorbing the toxins as it is happening. The toxins are very gradually absorbed through the skin in microscopic amounts that build up over time. Naturally, the body is designed to efficiently eliminate wastes and toxins through the built in filters of the body such as the kidneys, liver and sweat glands. When the volume of waste products and toxins in our system is greater than our natural capacity to process it out the excess is stored in the body. Because biological intelligence is geared to keep all kinds of waste products away from the heart, our circulation pushes excess toxins downward to eventually be flushed out through the system of over 2,000 glands in the bottoms of our feet.

This simple, natural process paves the way for the profound effectiveness and efficiency of the Ionic Detoxification Footbath. The system uses a combination of a foot-soaking tub filled with warm water enhanced by salt, infused with positively and negatively charged ions produced by a small electric current. The ions attract the microscopic toxic molecules and flush them out through the glands of the feet. The process is painless, quite soothing to the feet, and fascinating to watch. You can actually see the toxins being released from the body as it happens because the ion system gathers the various types of molecules together into visible specks and swirls through a filter in the detoxification process.

By now there are all sorts of options available to help our bodies to detoxify; there are detox liquid diets and detox pills. There are detoxifying wraps. Saunas are an ancient means of detoxification, tried and true. Each of these takes a special investment in time and effort. I experienced my first Ion Detoxification Footbath in an effortless 30 minute session at a local chiropractor's office. Throughout the session I learned a great deal about proactive natural health and working with my body. I could see and feel the benefits, especially after spending the rest of the day drinking lots of water in support of cleansing my system.
