What Is a Foot Detox?
If you’ve ever soaked your feet in an at-home spa tub, you have a basic idea of how a foot detox works. You put your feet inside the small tub of water. However, there is a major difference between a foot soak and a foot detox.
A foot detox utilizes positively and negatively charged ions in the water. Typically, you’ll feel no more than a slight tingle or tickling sensation, but the process is working to pull toxins and other unwanted elements from the body. You can expect the water to change color as this happens. Additionally, the process leads to continued detoxification for up to two days after treatment.
