Detox foot baths

Detox baths often combine hot water with special ingredients that help draw toxins out through your feet. these ingredients can be epsom salts, baking soda, magnesium or ginger. Ionic foot baths are also a popular way to detoxify. these baths generate a current in the water that produces negative ions. your body absorbs the negative ions through osmosis and they attract to positive molecules such as heavy metals and chemicals and are released by the body. Brushing the dead skin off of your feet after a foot bath by using a foot brush will further remove the impurities expelled through this process. popular brands of detoxifying foot baths include Ion Cleanse Premier and New Pro.
