Foot detox, is a form of body detoxification, tracing its origins to the Japanese and the Chinese. This is based on the traditional Chinese system of foot reflexology, where it is believed that there are 360 acupuncture points in a body, and out of this more than 60 are found on the soles of the foot. Each of these points is connected to an internal organ. Hence, there are toxins and impurities lying within these points located at the body’s extremities, and this is where foot detox plays its role by removing the toxins and impurities from these very points, and as a result cleansing the body too. Foot detox does not require you to follow a diet, and it is considered safe. This can be done by using foot pads or detox foot patches, which are applied like band aid across each foot at night time. These contain certain ingredients which help in extracting the toxins from these points at the soles of the feet. An ionic foot spa too is another type of foot detox. There is a lot of speculation, and debate on whether does foot detox work. But there are people who have been relieved of pains and aches, and feel better after going through foot detox.
