Detox Foot Pad proponents claim it’s the natural way to assist
your body in the removal of heavy metals, metabolic wastes, toxins,
and other chemicals. This remedy provides the one-two punch of powerful
detoxifying ingredients in conjunction with tourmaline, a mineral that
generates negative
ions, to capture toxins that your body eliminates through the
outer layer of the skin.
HOW
DO DETOX FOOT PADS WORK
Your body naturally eliminates metabolic waste and toxins through your
skin. Using the natural cleansing power of double distilled bamboo vinegar,
Detox Foot Pad users claim they capture toxins eliminated by the body,
cleansing and detoxifying the skin’s outer layers. Most users
report seeing results right away!
Basically,
Detox Foot Pads provide a “one-two punch”. First, they contain
Tourmaline, which is a mineral found in Brazil. Tourmaline possesses
the unique property of emitting Far
Infrared Rays (FIR),
which generate negative ions. Negative
ions* are known for having a soothing
therapeutic effect on your body. That’s why people feel so relaxed
after a rain storm or being next to a waterfall. When worn on the foot,
the negative ions stimulate acupressure meridian points for various
vital organs which promote improved circulation and detoxification activity.
A side benefit many people report is that the Detox Foot Pads help them
get a deep relaxing sleep.
Second, they contain a vinegar essence from Bamboo trees. Chinese villagers
have known for thousands of years that tree sap can be used as a potent
topical salve for treating infections and irritations. Scientists have
discovered that a highly processed formulation of these ingredients
has an amazing ability to absorb toxins right through the skin. Many
detox pad makers reportedly use only sap from Bamboo trees, not the
cheaper, less effective sap from oak or beech with sakura filling. Add
chitosan, pearl stone, highly purified silica, polyolic alcohol and
starch and you have a powerful synergistic detoxification product. Detox
Foot Pad proponents claim that they detoxify the entire system, restoring
balance to the nervous system, boost immunity, improve metabolism and
circulation, and assist the body in healing itself.
The pads may be applied to many parts of the body but you will receive
the most dramatic results by applying the patches to the soles of your
feet. Why? According to Chinese medical knowledge, there are over 60
reflexology meridian points on the soles of the foot. Known as the “second
heart”, your feet are the reflective zones of your major internal
organs. And because of gravity and your body’s own natural defense
system which moves toxins away from vital organs, your feet become a
“storage pit” for heavy metals and toxins.

The
true test is to just try them. Before going to bed, simply apply the
pads to the soles of your feet using the enclosed adhesive tape. Then
wear socks over them and keep them on over night. In the morning, you
will see significant changes to the smell and color of the patches as
they reflect the amount and degree of toxins which were extracted from
the body.
BENEFITS FOR OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY
Although the pads are normally applied to the feet, they can be attached
to other parts of the body and acupuncture points, where there is pain,
health issues or swelling to remove toxins from the area, but they should
always be applied to the soles of the feet as well for maximum detoxification.
There may not be as much moisture removed from other parts of the body.
For knee problems, place patches on the back of the knee. For eye problems,
place on the back of the ears or on the temple, but not on the eye.
For those whose health condition is more critical, Detox Foot Pads can
be placed on the back, either side of the spine, along the waistline,
and over the kidneys to boost the functions and excretion powers of
the kidneys.
DETOX WHILE SLEEPING
Simply place one pad on the sole of your foot (or a targeted body part
such as the shoulder or knee) before going to bed. By morning, the pad
will have captured toxins eliminated from your body, turning the white
pad to shades gray or black. Users are directed to use a fresh pad each
night until the color on the pad becomes lighter and lighter when removed
in the morning.

HOW TO USE
The patches adhere like a big sticker to the soles of the feet overnight.
At first, most people use the pads on the arches of the feet. Every
night, a new patch is applied to the feet. Successive nights should
result in a gradual lightening of residue on the patch. Pads are not
to be reused. Once the feet no longer darken the pads overnight, pads
may be applied to the skin on other areas of the body. Do not use
on sensitive areas of the body, or the face.

Depending upon what specific toxins are present, the color stain typically
ranges somewhere between a green, grey, black, brown, or tan coloration.
Individual results may vary. These results are not typical.
WHY ARE THEY APPLIED TO THE FEET
According to Chinese medical knowledge, the human body has over 360
acupuncture points, with more than 60 acupuncture points found on the
soles of the foot. Ancient Chinese Reflexology teaches that stimulation
and toxicity released from these sensitive mirror points, may also lead
to vitality and wellness. At the very least, the removal of buildups
in the body can only promote increased health.

When
the blood circulates to the soles, and the skin draws the toxins from
the blood to the outer skin layer, the detox pad can absorb eliminated
toxins released from the acupuncture points. After only one night of
use, there may be significant changes to the smell and color of the
sachet (from brown to grayish black) as it reflects the amount and degree
of toxins, which were eliminated by the body. With continuous usage,
there should be a visible reduction in the stain and odor of the pad.

WHY BE CONCERNED ABOUT TOXINS
The short answer is: because they are hazardous to your health. A toxic
body (with an overburdened liver and a sluggish and congested lymphatic
system) simply cannot maintain the normal cleansing performance required
to maintain optimal health. Also, in addition to the many naturally
occurring toxins, there are well over 400 synthetic chemicals and other
man-made toxins that can harm us. The good news is that these toxins
can be safely and effectively removed. And once they are, the negative
health symptoms that may have been caused by the toxic overload usually
start to recede and can even disappear altogether!
WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS
The better quality Detox Foot Pads contain only 100% pure and natural
ingredients: bamboo vinegar, tourmaline, chitin and Chinese detox herbs.
WHAT IS THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
It is through the actions of this vital system (which includes the spleen,
the thymus, lymph nodes and lymph ducts) that our body is able to fight
off infection and to ward off invasion from foreign invaders. Without
a properly functioning lymphatic system, or if it becomes over-burdened,
it is impossible to enjoy optimum health.
The
lymphatic
system plays a vital role in the body by regulating the immune
system. When the lymphatic system becomes blocked, lymphatic fluid builds
up and stagnates, causing the entire system to become toxic.
I have successfully used Kinoki
Detox Foot Pads. Of Japanese origin, it is designed to assist
the lymphatic system and the related blood network to cleanse and revitalize
the body to better health – all while you sleep! Detox Foot Pads
help extract lymphatic fluid from the body and assist in clearing blockages,
eliminate metabolic wastes and toxins from the body, transport nutrients
to cells and increases metabolic efficiency, all adding to the reduction
of excess fluid and assisting in weight reduction. They also have a
calming effect on the nervous system and help relieve stress and tension.
It is also claimed that frequent use of the pads is a very effective
beauty treatment for the face, improving the appearance of the skin
and reducing puffiness, helping rejuvenate collagen fibers and slow
the aging process.
ARE
DETOX FOOT PADS A FAD
Not according to their adherents! The Detox Foot Pad phenomenon is growing
in popularity throughout the world. In Japan alone, monthly sales figures
are more than $18 million, and that was five years ago! The worldwide
popularity and use of detox foot pads made with all-natural tree extracts
and fortified with negative ions is growing at a phenomenal rate, as
the amazing properties of this unique and effective cleansing product
become more widely known.
*WHAT ABOUT NEGATIVE IONS
Negative
Ions have been shown in scientific studies to be beneficial.
It is well known that consuming more alkaline foods, i.e. fruits and
vegetables, is beneficial to human health. Conversely, some believe
that an acidic PH balance of the body makes the body weak and more susceptible
to sickness.
