There is an ancient Chinese medical practice that aims to flush toxins from the body through the feet. According to the principles of Chinese reflexology, the feet contain natural energy zones that are intricately linked to every organ system within the body.

Proponents argue that detoxification through the feet provides a convenient and effective way to cleanse toxins built up over time. Here are different methods of detoxification:

Ionic foot bath:
Using an ionic foot bath is one way to detoxify the body. This bath works on the principle of electrolysis, which uses an electric current to facilitate a chemical reaction. Warm water is used to open the pores, and the salt acts as an anti-inflammatory astringent. Absorption of ions through the feet contributes to the detoxification process. Darkening of salt water indicates detoxification. Several forms of this bathroom are available.
