Most people can benefit from an ionic foot bath. It is especially good for those suffering from gastrointestinal disorders, skin conditions, fungal or yeast infections, and cancer.  The benefit of this form of detox is that it is, gentle and safe, and not compromising because it bypasses the gastro-intestinal system.

The best time to detox for people who are not suffering from a specific ailment is during the transitional seasons: Spring and Fall.

It’s important to note that detoxification is an important first step of a treatment plan. Similar to treating drug or alcohol addiction, detoxification helps prepare the body for the next phase of treatment, whether it is therapy or alternative care. For most natural healthcare enthusiasts, detoxing is the beginning of a lifestyle committed to eating healthier and exercising.

The ionic foot bath is contraindicated for those who have a pacemaker and open sores or lesions on his/her feet. Potential side effects of the foot detox include nausea, vomiting, or dizziness.

If you have Diabetes Type 1, you should consult your doctor before trying a foot detox. The process may affect your blood sugar levels.
