A body that is overloaded with toxins cannot perform its normal
cleansing job that is required for optimal health. In addition to
naturally-occuring toxins, it is estimated that more than 400 man-made
chemicals as well as heavy metals permeate the body of a person today.
Naturally if these toxins are not removed from the body, they can cause
chronic health ailments. It is therefore very necessary to detox and
cleanse the body from these toxins and pollutants.
One way that is gaining much popularity as a convenient method to detox
is the detox foot patch. The foot patch is simply a patch satchet
filled with some natural plant-based ingredients that is applied on the
soles of the feet. It has been widely touted as a simple and reasonably
effective way to remove waste, toxins, microscopic parasites, heavy
metals, chemicals and even cellulite (as some manufacturers claim).
Why detox through the foot? According to Chinese Traditional Medicine,
our human body has over 360 acupuncture points, with more than 60
acupuncture points found on the soles of the foot. Known as the “second
heart”, they reflect the zones of our major internal organs. These
zones also indicate potential homes for toxins.
Circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids reach their furthest points
in the soles of the feet before being 'pumped' back up into the higher
areas of the body.
By applying the patch to the foot, the patch extracts toxins from the
body through the blood that circulates in the soles. After putting on
the patch for a couple of hours, it turns dark black, with a pungent
smell. Changes in the smell and color of the sachet indicate the amount
and degree of toxins which have been extracted via the patch.
For a thorough and complete body cleanse, it is still better to go
through a proper detox program. But for those who find it difficult to
take the time off to detox and cleanse, the detox foot patch is a
convenient and safe option to consider. Simply apply the patch to the
soles of your foot overnight and look at your results in the morning!
