Information on the D-Tox Foot Bath  



      A Part of our usual body functionality we naturally detoxify every day. Eliminating toxins and waste via our kidneys, liver, colon, lymph glands, lungs and skin. Toxins can be found in our everyday environment; tobacco, alcohol, food additives, drugs and anaesthetics, pesticides, heavy metals and industrial pollutants. We need our body to function optimally and rid our systems of these toxins as they are harmful waste products that attack our immune system and can cause a wide variety of side effects, including lethargy and tiredness, headaches and migraines, colds and flu, bad skin, breath and body odor problems, sinus problems, the list goes on. In fact, some theory exists suggesting that detoxification may be at some point an alternative to the prevention of immune deficiency diseases. 


D-tox Foot Bath 


Our body is a very complex piece of engineering, and in its simplest form is a collection of cells and tissue. Cells consist of electrical charges and ideally contain an even proportion of positive and negative ions. In this “ideal” state we are perfectly balanced and our body functions by removing toxins and absorbing nutrients from food, water and oxygen. When the body experiences any form of trauma, which can be caused by poor diet, ill health or injury, the cells become more positively charged and consequently do not work as effectively and the process of storing toxins begins. Even a lack of exercise promotes toxic build up as our cells are insufficiently oxidized. Therefore stagnation of our natural detoxification process occurs. 

The BioEnergiser D-Tox Spa starts the process of rebalancing your body’s bioenergy. By producing negative ions, it effectively rebalances the cells equilibrium of positive and negative ions which, in turn ‘kick starts’ the dispersal of unwanted toxins. 



The process: 


You are comfortably seated in a chair and place your feet in a foot-tub of water to which a warm water and a saline solution are added. A mild current is applied to the water. At first there will be a slight color change that is due to the current affecting the saline. As the process continues and toxins are drawn out of the body, the water may turn darker. Deposits may surface on top of the water. This, also, is due to toxin removal. 

The indicator lights on the foot-tub go through a series of changes simply indicating time. You will be assisted out of the foot-tub by one of our staff. At the end, you should feel more energized and balanced. Occasionally, people will feel somewhat drained at the end of the process. Much depends on the amount of toxins drawn from the body.
