What is the benefit of the ionic foot bath?

When looking for the benefits of the ion bath you need to directly observe the body and not the water. The main benefit of these baths is to “alkaline” the body, meaning to push the pH levels to a base line.

Scientific analysis have been done on the urine of patients before and after a 30 minute treatment. They concluded that the negative ions produced in the bath do significantly lower the pH levels in the body, and the results can be seen for up to 48 hours.

An alkaline body is crucial to a person’s health. Diseases thrive in an acidic environment. So basically, the less acidic your body is and the more alkaline, the less prone you are to contracting a disease. An ionic detox, helps to facilitate the alkalization process through the process of ionization, which removes “free radicals” from the body.

Why does the water change color?

The change in color in your ion foot baths is probably not because of toxins coming out from your feet but instead is the reaction of already present compounds in the water and salt we put in the bath. However, we do notice that the color, smell and foaming in the water does change from treatment to treatment with the same client indicating some lymphatic response in the body.

How often should an ionic foot bath be done?

Optimum Energetic Systems recommends 1 to 2 times per month with one deep cleanse per year of 14 foot baths done over a period of 7 weeks. We have observed noticeable benefits after the 3rd foot soak and recommend scheduling the first 3 soaks within the first week or two of starting to use this therapy.

Who should avoid using an Ionic foot bath?

People who have a pacemaker/electronic device, are pregnant or nursing, have had an organ transplant, or are taking life threatening medication including blood thinners should not use this therapeutic device.
