The Foot Detox Spa has rapidly become one of the leading alternatives on how people are getting healthier. Foot detoxification goes way back to 1600 years ago in a Japanese legend. A group of people who had a variety of ailments made a pilgrimage into the mountains, according to this legend. As they were searching for a place to relax for the night they came across a hot spring coming out of the rocks of the mountain. They decided to sit beside the spring with their feet down to help with the fatigue they were experiencing. Upon waking up the next morning not only did the fatigue disappear but they felt better than they have in years. Upon completion of the pilgrimage they received shocking news from their physicians. Each of them was found to be completely devoid of the illnesses they had been afflicted with prior to their trip into the mountain.

From this idea of foot detoxification as a remedy for many different diseases was born. As the human understanding of the way the body works has gotten better, we have come to understand far better how foot baths can in fact be used as a cure to many common illnesses. While these original options worked as well as anything at the time could have been expected to, with advancements in research and technology the options have gotten far more stable and effective.

The biggest step forward in terms of getting real value out of a detox foot bath came in the realization that the human body is made up of many electrically charged cells. With this also came the realization that if those cells are electrically charges that it stands to reason that those charges can in fact be pushed out of balance. When the body's cells are out of balance they are less able to facilitate the functions necessary to keep a person healthy. In essence these slight imbalances are the reason a body becomes less able to fend of illnesses. The real frustrating part about this is the fact that there is a built in cycle that gradually gets worse. As more illnesses enter the body they can actually wind up throwing the body further out of balance, thereby allowing an even greater chance of new illnesses being introduced.

This is exactly what the Detox Foot Bath is made to counteract. When introducing a healthy electrical current into the body through the feet the Detox Foot Bath is able to slowly bring the body back into a natural balance. As the body comes back into balance there will be a natural purge of toxins and heavy metals from the entire body. For anyone who uses the bath eventually the cleansing creates a healthier obvious difference in the body.
