Detox foot patch scam is a kind of trickery which you must be aware of to protect your wellness and your budget of course. Detox foot patch is a familiar sight in beauty salons and malls wherein they offer to remove impurities from your body through the so-called ionic foot bath. It can also go by the name bio electrical biofeedback machine, aqua chi machine, foot spa, super deter foot bath, energy spa and more. In any case, the process remains the same wherein your feet are immersed in a basin of salt water electrically charged with two electrodes at around 30 minutes.
As a part of the detox foot patch scam, costumers are made to believe that the process draws toxins out through the soles of the feet and the water changes color with the release of toxic substances through thousands of pores from the soles of the feet. The water changes color and consistency from orange, brown to black. Yellow supposedly come from bladder and kidneys, orange/brown from the joints, green/dark brown to black from the liver, gallbladder and bowel and white from lymphatic system. A similar method employs a certain type of adhesive foot pads worn at the bottom of the foot overnight while the pads allegedly remove toxins from the body.
While a detox foot patch scam may be unnoticeable to gullible customers, they may think that they are getting a good bargain considering the number of diseases these devices can, so they say, cure. Fatefully, the people behind these products are only after your money. Experts say that the skin is not a permeable membrane, meaning that the substances placed on the outside of the feet will not absorb substances circulating within the body. Even if they can, the process will not be able to eliminate the toxins from the body since real detoxification is done by the liver.
Thus, the change of color in the water where you immerse your feet is not due to any detoxification process. It is because of the water’s iron content and it can be done even without placing the feet in the basin. Detox foot patch scam is something to be aware of to avoid yourself from spending money and time and of course, to prevent any effect on your health.
