Can a detox foot pad really help to increase your energy? Sometimes life can be very difficult, full of different obligations and pressures, they can really affect the way you are feeling. This can affect all aspects of your life. Therefore I would say that this is one of the areas of health where foot detox can really help. A really good way to apply foot detox is with a foot detox pad. The reason why detox foot pads have become so popular in recent years is because they are very simple to use. There are also relatively inexpensive and are very safe due to the natural ingredients.

Some of the most popular detox foot pads in the market are made either in Japan all with Japanese techniques. Japanese detox foot pads are considered to be not only the most authentic detox foot pads on the market, there also believed to have the greatest success rates with people suffering from stress-related issues. You might be asking yourself how a patch that fits onto the bottom of your foot can actually relieve stress symptoms. First of all I want to go through the procedure of using a foot detox patch.

The basic procedure is to use the patches before you go to sleep, or while you are sleeping. So, you lay down in your bed, with one patch attached to your left foot and another patch attached to your right foot, close your eyes and get a good night’s rest. During the night, while you sleep, the Japanese detox foot patches will work away at extracting some of the harmful toxins that are in your body. I guess you can imagine that this is not going to work overnight. This is a long-term process and it not only involves you using the patches for a few nights consecutively, detoxification also requires used to try and eliminate as many of the harmful toxins that are entering your body. There many ways of doing this, but that’s for another article. The upshot is, when you wake in the morning and you peel back the sticky patch from the sole of your foot, you will notice that it has changed color, it has turned very dark. The manufacturers claim that this is visible proof that the toxins have actually been extracted from your body. Of course this is where a lot of the shouts for “detox foot pads scam” emanate from. There have been tests carried out on both sides which neither prove or disprove these claims. For more information about these tests you can see some of the other articles on this site.

I think that many people believe that you can get a boost in your energy levels because of removing the toxins from your feet. Other people just believe that detox foot pads actually work on a psychosomatic level, that any claims benefits are all in the mind. But I firmly believe that the feet have an awful lot to do with relaxation and stress relief. When you soak your feet in a bath of water you always feel refreshed and relaxed. I always feel great after a foot massage and I have recently started attending a reflexologist which I find is helping me a lot with stress-related conditions. So I have to ask myself do foot detox pads work, I have to say that they do to a certain extent, whether they work in actual physical toxic elimination is still open to debate in my eyes, but as I said before it’s not going to cost you a lot of money to buy detox foot pads. There are plenty of detox foot pads reviews which give convincing stories of people being cured of simple ailments,. I don’t think that anyone should believe that you can be cured of arthritis, or cancer, or anything as complicated as that. But I think the detox foot pad can really help to lower your stress levels. I must also stress here that if you are suffering from any physical or mental ailment, you should always visit your physician for advice and only use alternative therapies as a complementary medicine.

A couple of the more popular foot pads are Kenrico detox foot pads and Verseo detox foot pads. If they’re going to help you to relax more, feel more energized when you are up and about, and maybe help you sleep better at nights, then I think they’re worth the few dollars that they will cost. You should also try some of the other methods of detoxification that are available. So, you should try to eat as many whole foods as possible because this is one method of trying to consume as few toxins as possible, and in the process you are mitigating the effects of environmental toxins that you cannot eliminate. If you are a believer at all in alternative therapy then you should give a detox foot pad a try.

Here are my thoughts on Foot Detox. There are two of three methods of foot detox that I know about.  There is also a big business in foot detox, and big money to be made out of anything related to foot detox.

One is the Foot Detox Pad. I’m really not sure about this one. There are so many people screaming scam, scam, scam very loudly over the Internet whenever you do a search for them.It really does look like a con job. I mean, all that stuff about holding it over a steam and it turning black, yeah right!

Another method of foot detox is  the Detox Foot Spa. I tried it and I got some bit of comfort from it. I’ve seen the scam videos on you tube, so if you’re going to pay big bucks then watch yourself.

Look guys, reflexology has been around for thousands of years. So there has to be something in that, I mean, the Chinese are not stupid. If the technology is there for some trickery, that will take your money, someone is going to use it. And there’s always the benefit of the placebo.  If it makes you feel good without costing you the earth, then so be it.

So does foot detox work?  The jury is out…I am going to do a little experiment soon with detox foot patches.  Keep and eye out for the post.  If you liked this article about foot detox and you would like to hear more, subcribe to our RSS feed.
