Japanese detox foot pads

Sometimes you have to take things with a pinch of salt. What’s the story with detox foot pads?

I’ve been hearing a lot about foot detox and foot detox patches in the last couple of years. What the makers suggest is that while you sleep toxins can be drawn from the soles of your feet. The pad will look murky brown on the contact side as you peel it off when you wake up in the morning. The manufacturers and marketers of say that this is proof that the foot detox patches have worked. Where is the actual truth in the statements?

Methods of medicine that we used in the ancient East are supposedly incorporated into the foot detox patch. Their ingredients include active ingredients include tourmaline. Tourmaline contains minerals that supposedly emit negative ions. Another major ingredient is vinegar made from bamboo. This draws toxins out of the system.

A similar process is reflexology. There are points in your foot which are connected to your audience… according to the reflexologists. According to the foot detox practitioner, the foot detox pads can take the toxins from the soles of your feet because that is where they will gather.

Wood vinegar could be responsible for the discoloration. This type of vinegar is concentrated in powder form. In experiments, the powdered form of this vinegar turns into liquid again when it is mixed with warm water.   Are detox foot pads a scam?

I think that too many people looking for an easy fix. There is no point in constantly searching for a cure in the form of a magic pill, this is just fantasyland. That next miracle tablets could be on the next channel. There will be no effort on their part, there doesn’t have to be, the miracle cure is here to do it all.

There are plenty of detox diets available. There is also the local sauna or steam bath where you can some of the waste out of your body.   You can  also try  a foot detox bath.  As to the detox foot pads, I am always open to a person who is able to give me another perspective.
