How Does Ionic Cleansing Work?
Ionic cleansing purports to remove toxins and other impurities in your body through the soles of your feet. Other terms for ionic cleansing include ionic foot bath and detox foot bath.. Marketers of early ionic cleansing devices such as the Aqua Detox, an apparatus used in spas and sold to private consumers in the U.K. in the early 2000s, claimed the apparatus produced a “frequency of positive and negative ions, which gently resonates through the body and stimulates all the cells within it … rebalancing the cellular energy, enabling the cells to perform efficiently and … release any toxins that may have built up.” Marketers of other ionic cleansing foot bath apparatuses and holistic practitioners that utilize them claim that the devices remove pinworms, parasites, mucous, nicotine and even heavy metals. Purportedly, those who receive ionic cleansing experience better mental clarity and increased energy after treatments.
