Ionic Foot Spa - Detoxification & Relaxation
After a long day, there's nothing quite like the relaxation you feel when soaking your feet—or any part of your body, for that matter—in warm water. This simple practice can be enhanced with an ionic foot spa, which provides relaxation and helps detoxify your body and improve your overall health. An ionic foot spa uses an ionising element that generates a mild electric current in the water. This current interacts with the salts and minerals in the water and your body, while helping to balance your pH levels and draw out toxins, waste products, and heavy metals. Afterwards, you'll feel lighter, more refreshed, and more energised. It's like having a mini-spa in your own home!
Detox foot patches offer a convenient and effective way to enhance overall health. Made from bamboo charcoal, they have strong adsorption capabilities—the natural ingredients penetrate from the bottom of your feet into your body. This allows them to draw out toxins, impurities, and excess moisture through your feet. Using these patches during sleep can facilitate a natural cleanse overnight. You’ll wake feeling rejuvenated, revitalised, and ready for your amazing day ahead.

The technology - Detox foot spa
An ionic foot bath is a detoxification treatment that uses ionisation technology to create a charged water environment. The process is believed to help draw out toxins from your body through your feet. While you soak your feet in the warm water, electromagnetic waves of a specific frequency are introduced into the water, creating positive and negative ions. The theory is that these ions interact with your body's own electrical charges and help draw out toxins via your feet's numerous pores. Under the action of electromagnetic waves, various substances in the water are ionised. The body absorbs these ions, which attract toxins from within your body. The water changes colour during the session, often cited as proof that toxins are being released.
What do the colour changes mean?
The water can turn different colours, from brown to green to yellow, depending on factors like your health, diet, and the minerals in the water. Here is a guide to what each colour may mean:

- Fill the tub with 12 to 15 centimetres of water. Do not cover the ion head with water.
- Add one to two tablespoons of salt to the water.
- Position the ion head in the centre of the tub and connect it to the main unit.
- Plug in the power supply.
- Immerse your feet into the tub and turn on the control panel.
- When the device is on, the indicator lights illuminate. Each light corresponds to five minutes of treatment, with a full session lasting 30 minutes. At the end of the session, the buzzer will sound, and all the lights will flash to signal completion.
- Detoxification methods, such as foot spas or other techniques, can lead to dehydration. Toxins are commonly stored in fat cells, and when these break down, toxins are released. Staying well-hydrated is crucial to supporting your body in processing and eliminating these substances effectively. Proper hydration also plays a vital role in sustaining your energy levels and preventing feelings of fatigue and dizziness. During a 30-minute session, it's important to drink at least 500ml of water.
