Technology has played a role in our health. We are surrounded by wireless phones and computers and while they play a tremendous role in increased productivity, they also create an imbalance in positive and negative ions in your bodies system. When you sit in front of a computer all day you are bombarded with positive ions coming at you from your monitor and wireless phones anywhere in your vicinity. This makes you feel tired and sluggish and you can lose some of your concentration. It can be difficult to sit there for long periods of time. To undo this phenomenon, you need a boost of negative ions to put you back in balance.



Have you noticed that when you are in the mountains near trees and a waterfall, or paddling down a river or just walking on the beach with the water lapping around your feet how much better you feel? This is because you are bombarded with an abundance of negative ions. This gives you that comfortable peaceful feeling we all seem to crave these days. No wonder people flock to these crisp clean air destinations to get some much needed down time.



Being that ...
... most of us are bound most of the year to our jobs and home, we tend not to experience enough of natures natural balance. And to make things worse, we are living in an environment that is far more toxic today than our fore fathers. Everything we eat, drink and breathe is more toxic than it was even 20 years ago.



An ionic foot bath is a great way to restore that feeling of well being and detox at the same time.



It works by filling a plastic tub of clean water, add sea salt, which is high in minerals, place the array and your feet in the water and the array will put out positive and negative ions. This travels through your body attaching itself like a magnet to oppositely charged toxins and mucus and excretes it through the pores in your feet. If you've never seen the results of a foot bath then you will be amazed at what you see. What started out as clean water will become very dirty indeed. The color of the water determines what area of the body is detoxing.



How to read your water:



Black or brown water is the liver.


Orange; means the joints.


Dark green; the gallbladder.


Yellowy green; kidneys, urinary tract.


White foam; Lymph nodes draining.


Red flecks; blood clot material.


Black flecks; heavy metals.



With the liver and kidneys taking a heavy load of toxins it is not unusual to see a lot of people with brown and black water for several foot baths. But don't be surprised one day if you develop a urinary tract infection and your water turns green. People with arthritis will often have orangey water.



If you leave the array in the water for the allotted time you will see some color change because it will react with the minerals in the water, but placing your feet in the water changes the consistency and you will have mucus, foam and or flecks in the water, sometimes so heavy that you cannot even see your feet. Just the array in the water may be colored, but will remain clear.



Some of the benefits of ion footbaths are;



1) An enhanced the immune system


2) Assists in recovery time from injuries and surgery


3) Can relieve pain and joint stiffness due to arthritis


4) Improves sleep pattern


5) Remove heavy metals


6) Removes blood clot material


7) Improve liver and kidney function


8) Increase your energy



Detoxing is a normal function of the body but when it gets overwhelmed and pain or disease sets in, then we must do what we can to help the body unburden itself and ion foot baths help you do that.



Anything you can do to relieve your body of toxic build up will be beneficial to your health. I hope this helps!
