Salt baths as a means of detoxification and healing have been used historically by different cultures around the world, including Ayurvedic traditions of India and ancient Roman bath houses. This practice results in salt drawing out toxins via osmosis and diffusion. Swimming in the ocean is a natural form of ionic detox - the pulsed electric current from the array amplifies this effect to a greater degree. Using an electric charge to split water into ions is an innovative holistic health treatment.
FAQ
During a session, the user submerses their feet in a specific concentration of salt water. A metal coil is placed in the water and is attached to a machine which emits a pulse of electricity. A conductive strap is attached to the client’s wrist, and the same electric current is pulsed through the client’s body during the session. This is a weak electric current and is not, nor should it ever be painful.
When the electric current is pulsed through the salt water, the water splits into positive and negative ions. These ions in the salt water are attracted to the ionic compounds in your body which are not of benefit to you — some examples are: pesticides, preservatives, and heavy metals. These toxins are pulled out from your body through the pores of your feet. Your feet have over 4,000 pores and they are the largest in the body. This makes makes the foot an ideal area to support detoxifying the body.
The validity of any healing modality can be measured by the experience of the participants. After a 30 minute session, users of the ionic foot detox consistently report clearer thinking, greater physical and mental energy, improved elasticity in the joints, and an overall feeling of focus and wellness.

While having an Ionic Treatment the user’s pH raises to a more alkaline state. Why is this significant? By bringing your body back into a more balanced acid-alkaline state a greater sense of well being is felt.
During the ionizing process, through the process of osmosis, those ions are absorbed through the soles of your feet and they circulate throughout the body and re-balance the charge of your cells. An Ionic Treatment takes approximately 30-60 minutes.
The principle of theionic detoxification system is to use microcurrent to facilitate the movement or transfer of ions in and out of cells and restore the balance of positive and negative charges of cells. This painless, non-invasive microcurrent opens up the pathways to the vital ion channels. The “boost” or energy the body receives from the ion water module (array), which sits down in the water during a treatment, allows this amazing detoxification process to occur.
***Critics of this healing modality point out that the water changes colour even in the absence of feet. This is true. However, there exists a wide spectrum of colour shades. While the water does turn a brownish shade when the coil is pulsed in the absence of feet, it does also change to specific shades of colour depending on the health condition of each individual using the ionic foot detox.***
That is relative to your current state of health, age, diet, lifestyle and amount of stress you are dealing with. Some people have noted improvements after 1-5 sessions while others have taken between 10-15 sessions to see the over all improvements they were looking for.
The average feedback from current research has between 5-10 sessions no longer then 2-6 days in between each session to feel the accumulated benefits.
Most doctor prescribed medicines will not cause any harm, but the decision is best left up to you and your physician. If your not sure it is recommend consulting your physician prior to use and often having treatments at least two hours after consuming medications.
Cleansing is the key to wellness and fighting all DIS-EASE
Ionic cleansing creates a feeling of well being throughout the entire body.
Cleansing your body using ionic energy is the most non-invasive method that gently relieves stressors in the body that can cause many types of illness.
It is recommended for anyone over the age of 4.
It is however not recommended for pregnant women, those with any implanted electrical devices (pace maker, cochlear implant, etc ) or open foot wounds. If the foot has an open wound we can do the hands instead. If you are interested in doing an Iionic treatment with any of these conditions please consult with your doctor to determine if this is right for you.
It is recommend that people with low blood sugar or diabetes should eat before having an ionic treatment or eat immediately after.
It is also recommended that you do not use any computer or cellular or portable phone during an treatment as it will alter the effectiveness of your session.
Some people may experience fatigue as the body’s detoxification process accelerates itself. This will balance itself as the body expels the toxins and regenerates itself. After the load is processed the client reports feeling better then before they started.
In this way, all the body’s organs, including the liver, intestines, kidneys, lungs, skin,and immune system, can become energized and stimulated to function optimally. The body then rids itself of these toxins through its normal processes of urination, defecation and sweating. When the body is able to eliminate toxins and metabolic waste, then inflammation, edema,and swelling all decrease, allowing the body to repair itself and reduce pain within muscles and joints.
After the ionic treatment is over, your body will still be detoxing for the next 24 to 48 hours.
