Soaking the feet in some warm water is always very relaxing and useful. It releases the tension and it helps against the foot odor. Many people enjoy foot baths on a daily basis, but only a few are aware that this practice can be helpful in elimination of toxins from the body.
Importance of detoxification
Modern lifestyle is often very hectic and unbalanced and it exposes the body to all sorts of pollution and toxins. Damaging factors that people are exposed to include stress, poor diet, lack of fresh vegetables and fruits, smoking, alcohol consumption, substance abuse, diseases, air pollution, allergens, heavy metals, radiation and many more.
Pollutants, toxins and heavy metals accumulate in the body and increase the risk of many degenerative processes and diseases, which is why it is vital to detoxify every now and then.
The human body has its own detox mechanism and it removes toxins through kidneys, liver, perspiration and breath, but the toxins accumulate faster that the body eliminates them, and this is why it is useful to use one of the many detox methods.
Foot detox bath
Foot detox baths are very useful in drawing the toxins and heavy metals out of the body through the pores on the feet. The feet are soaked in warm spring water mixed with sea salt. A coil placed inside serves to ionize the water, which enhances the elimination of toxins through perspiration from the soles of the feet. After the machine finishes the cycle, which usually lasts for 30 minutes, the water may change in color and consistency because of the toxins released from the pores. The reason why this detox works so well lies, among other factors, in the fact that there are more sweat glands in the feet than in any other part of the body.
An average healthy person is usually advised to take detox foot baths every other day in 14 sessions, and then it is recommended to take a break before repeating the cycle.
Benefits of foot detox baths
The main benefit of this method of detoxification is, of course, the elimination of harmful toxins from the body. This results in many improvements throughout the body. The skin becomes healthier, shinier and with less blemishes. The body becomes more resistant to seasonal illnesses like flu and common cold, and it helps with sinus, nasal and lung congestions too. Foot detox bath also helps with headaches and migraines, improves the digestion and boosts the immune system. Since the toxins are expelled from the body, the problem of bad breath and body odor is also solved.
