Toxins are either positively charged or negatively charged. Ex: Metal toxins (positively charged), candida/inflammatory chemicals (negatively charged).The ion cleanse system puts an electrical charge in the footbath, causing water to separate into positive (+) Hydrogen ions and negative (-) bicarbonate ions. Those ions attract the toxins to leave fat cells, organ cells, and connective tissues and enter the blood stream and out of the skin by the feet.

Just like substances can be absorbed through the skin (mentholated lotions, etc.), substances can be released from the skin. Color changes in the water can be seen throughout the treatment that represent specific areas in the body being cleansed:

  • Yellow-green water reflects the detoxification of the kidney, bladder, prostate, and urinary tract
  • Orange water symbolizes the cleansing of your joints
  • Black or brown water means you’re extracting toxins from the liver
  • Dark green water reflects the removal of toxins from your gallbladder
  • White foam in the water is the extraction of toxins from your lymphatic system
  • White, cheese-like particles are likely yeast being removed from fat tissue
  • Black flecks in the water are heavy metals being purged from your body
  • Red flecks represent blood clot material being eliminated

The ion cleanse system also puts the body in a state of relaxation (parasympathetic/digestive) state rather than a (sympathetic/fight or flight) state.

When the treatment is completed, the released toxins in the blood stream will then be released in sweat, urine, and feces for a few days following the foot bath.
The removal of toxins from the body will help boost immune function, digestive function, and allow the body to do what it is supposed to do naturally.

Benefits include:

  • Better, deeper sleep
  • A greater sense of calm and relaxation, decreased agitation and stress
  • Reduced brain fog, increased focus
  • Reduced acute and chronic pain
  • Strengthens immune system
  • Weight Loss
  • Increased energy
  • Balances blood pH
