Ion Foot Bath Detox: Hoax or Helpful?

I'm not sure how many of you have heard about this phenomenal new spa treatment, called the Ion Foot  Bath Detox, and I'm not really sure how new it is. However, I did go get one on Friday and it really worked. But before I go into telling you about my experience, I would like to explain what it is. I'm going to explain it in simple terms, because we all know if you want the scientific reasoning and all the big words you can just Google it.

The way it was explained to me, is that the Ion Foot Bath balances the positive and negative charges in your body, removing toxins from your organs and blood, resulting in a youthful and light feeling.


The process is as simple as a pedicure. Your feet are placed in the Ionic Foot Bath Device, which is filled with warm water, and your detoxing begins. The entire process takes about thirty minutes, and you will be able to see and feel the results immediately.

Since I am always actively detoxing (by drinking lemon & cucumber water; I'll post about it later) my before and after results aren't that drastic. However, my mom's water was quite a bit darker than mine (it looked a lot like pee), because she had more toxins in her body than I, but we were told that both of us were quite healthy, because most people's "After" looks like swamp water, and for those who smoke, their water is BLACK. 

*** I've added photos of the more drastic change.



Rainbow Water:

Although my water appears yellow, and the very drastic photo appears brown or rust in color, a lot of colors are left in the water after the foot bath and can also be seen in the form of flakes floating in the water afterwards as well. Each color represents a different part of the body being detoxed:

Color or Particle	Material or Area of the Body Being Detoxified
Black	Detoxifying from liver
Black Flecks	Heavy metals
Brown	Detoxifying from liver, cellular debris, tobacco
Dark Green	Detoxifying from gallbladder
Orange	Detoxifying from joints
Red Flecks	Blood clot material
White Cheese-Like Particles	Most likely yeast
White Foam	Detoxifying from Lymphatic system
Yellow-Green	Detoxifying from kidneys, bladder, urinary tract, female/prostate area

STAY HYDRATED:

Drinking water is MANDATORY before, after and during this procedure in order to stay hydrated. I recommend preparing a pitcher of infused water the day before you go (I'll post a recipe below) for your foot bath and to fill up a large water bottle with the water you have made. This way you can be sure that you are drinking enough water and are not at risk for dehydration. 

If you do not know if this service is offered in your area, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, google it first. I attend college in what seems like the SMALLEST town ever, and the service is offered here (you never know what's hiding under your nose). 

Even if you have reservations or some hesitation about trying the Ionic Foot Bath Detox, try doing some of your own research, and keep in mind that new experiences and trying new things is fun and exciting and could one day change your life. If your life is not being put at risk GO FOR IT, you never know what you could be missing out on. 

My experience with this detox was a great one, and I will definitely be back to have this detox again!


INFUSED WATER RECIPE:

• One Large Pitcher (A kool-aid pitcher is fine)
• One Large Cucumber (sliced)
• Two lemons (sliced; I like to roll my lemons before cutting them because it extracts the juice easier, resulting in a more flavorful water)
• Distilled Water (enough to fill up the pitcher)
• Add Strawberries, Blueberries, Cuties, Blackberries, and whatever other fruits that you like and are in season, until you get a flavor that you like and will result in you drinking more water.

*** Try to add FRESH FRUITS and not fruits that have added sugar or high fructose corn syrup. For example: canned fruits
