Why Some Detox Foot Pads Works

There has been much debates as to whether detox foot pad works. In this debate, there is the manufacturer, the sceptics and the supporter. There is also the consumer.

In recent years, there is an increasing awareness of the importance for our body to detoxify. Each day, along with the food that we eat and the air that we inhale, we take in chemicals, hard metals and toxins that is accumulated in our body over a long period of time.

Short-term harm to our body includes sleep disorders, head-aches and migraines. Accumulated toxins will also lead to more serious illnesses of the colon, kidney and liver. Our immunity system will also be affected as our body has to work harder to fight with all these pollutants.

Medical research had shown that the fastest way for a patient to recover from an illness is through detoxifying their body. There are many types of anti-oxidant and detoxification supplements available in the market. Some of these supplements will cleanse your colon, some will cleanse the kidney and so on. Of all these methods, one of them had garnered much debates – it is the detoxification foot patches.

How Detox Foot Pads Work

Detox foot pads are made of constituents of ingredients. As to what types of ingredients are in it, depends on the manufacturers. Hence, it is important to understand that not all detox foot pads are created equal. Some of these manufacturers are reliable and can be trusted, while many others can’t be trusted.

Oriental medical practitioners believe that there is reflexology and acupressure points located at the bottom of our foot. When simulated and energised, all these acupressure points will affect some part of our organs. Traditional Thai foot massage also made use of these knowledge. That is why a traditional foot massage is not only relaxing, but is known to help improve health.

The detox foot pads was supposed to work because when it simulates all the acupressure points on the feet, it will draw toxins from our body. Detoxification foot patches are applied to the sole of each foot before bed on every night or every other night. The proof that detox foot pads work, the producers claimed, was because when you wake up in the morning and peel off the foot patches, you will see that they are discoloured, became dirty, turned dark brown and yellow or gray in colour.

This is because, they are full with toxins that they have collected. Through repeated nightly applications, eventually when used and removed, there are no longer any discolouration of the foot patches. This is a clear indication that the toxin load in your body had been reduced.

How well the detoxification pads work differs from one person compared to another. Among some of the factors that affect the efficiency includes the strength of the immune system, the efficiency of the elimination systems, and the load of toxin in your body. As a general rule of thumb, most people will take up to 12 months to cleanse their body. However, most people will see improvement to their health even within weeks of beginning their first detoxification.

Some in the medical circles had labelled all these detox foot pads as scams. There are others who defended the use of detox foot pads, but cautioned that consumers should do their research properly when buying. The reason is that for every good product in the market, there are always bad copies. Simply because many detox foot pads turned out to be bluff, does not means that all detox foot pads are scams.

The most important point to research when buying your detoxification pads is the producer. Check the track record of the producer. Have they done adequate research on the effect and benefits of the foot patches that they are selling? Is there any clinical test results that can be relied on? What about the laboratories that they used for the test? Are these laboratories accredited and meet international standards.

You should also study into the constituents of the ingredients. Many producers simply mentioned that their detox foot patches are made of ingredients that is beneficial but are not able to describe further in what way those ingredients are useful.
