How do toxins affect me?
Ignoring body toxins can cause poor health, illness and disease. Today's lifestyles do not support the body's ability to naturally remove toxins. The body's immune system has been compromised through the accumulation of toxins. It is important that toxins be removed regularly to insure and maintain good health.

How do they remove toxins from my body?
Traditional Oriental Medicine has long held that the body is connected by meridians and that access to these meridians causes a flow of energy (chi) through the acupuncture points on the outside of the body. If we stimulate an acupuncture point it will activate energy (chi) in the body corresponding to internal points thus bringing strength to weak areas of the body. The foot is considered the second most sensitive area of your body next to your heart. The intelligence of your body will naturally send toxins as far away from the heart as possible for protection. That means toxins and decontaminates are collected in the lower portion of your body, at your feet. The combination of herbs, saps and other natural ingredients first; tenderly warm and slightly open the acupuncture points in the soles of the feet then allow the pads to gently draw toxins from the body into the pad.

Are they safe to use?
They do not deliver any chemicals to the body, only an infusion of negative ions will enter your body. They are only topical and draw toxins out of the body. You ingest nothing therefore they are completely safe. Nevertheless, we recommend that you discontinue use if any allergic reactions occur. Our foot patches were tested and certified safe and with non detectable heavy metals by FDA lab certification and ISO 9001 for quality.

Do I need to follow a special diet while I use the foot pads?
There is no need for a special diet. We recommend that to help flush the toxins and heavy metals etc. you look at your diet, exercise regularly and drink plenty of water.

How often should I use Detox foot pads?
It is recommended that they be used for at least 3 months or 90 days for complete cleansing. Some people prefer 10 days increments and feel that will eliminate a significant amount of toxins if done regularly. You will know how your detoxification is progressing by the color of discharge on the pad. As the pad diminishes in colorization you will know that the detox is coming to an end. The length of time for this to happen varies with each individual. Some will detox relatively quickly others much longer depending upon life styles, immune system fatigue, and other variables.

Can I use them on only one foot?
Yes, you may do that but as you study the Reflexology Foot Map you will see that the liver point, for example, is located in the same place on both feet. If you were detoxifing the liver it would be most beneficial to apply a pad to both feet at the liver point. Also for balance it is wise to have both feet involved in the detox process.

Do the foot pads contain chemicals?
No, they are 100% natural ingredients and none of the ingredients enter the body. The ingredients merely stimulate various physiological functions and draw from the inside out.

How long has the product been in existence?
Oriental Medicine has used a similar product for thousands of years. But todays wood sap products for body cleansing purposes have been in existence since 1999. Our combination of herbal and wood ingredients was introduced in 2001 and is having phenomenal success in Asia and Europe. It is even a newer product to North America.

Can I apply pads to a backache?
Yes, There are two ways other than to the feet that you can apply detox pads. If you study the acupuncture chart you will see there are points all over your body that correspond to various internal organs. These points are located specifically over a meridian flow so that the stimulation of the herbs can be sent directly to any pain or weak organs. If you have specific joint or muscle pain you can apply directly over the area for temporary relief.

Can they ease pain caused by gout, arthritis and rheumatism?
Yes! Users from around the world have received temporary pain relief. Pads are not a cure for maladies but can act as an efficient relief from pain caused by them.

Can I reuse the pads?
The pads are for single use only. Once the pad is activated by the resonance in the foot and toxins release onto the pad, any reuse would not be as potent or hygienic.

Aside from allergies to the ingredients used, no side effects have been noted.

Why do my joints hurt even more?
Each of us responds to our healing process in different ways. You may experience a form of healing crisis. Users experiencing this are likely to have chronic problems. Reflex points will act to assist your body in its recovery process. If this is the case you will find the discomfort is tolerable and it will disappear in a day or two with continued use of the pad.

Why do I feel tired?
You may require more sleep as your body begins to release toxins. The body will use some of its energy storeage to help accomplish the detox.

Detoxifying may improve your circulation, balance the bodies pH, aid in the elimination of waste and increase the movement of lymphatic fluids. This may create feelings of vigor, easing of muscle and joint problems, improved immune system, and better sleep. And most of all they will remove the toxins from your bodies sewer system - the lymphatic system.

How long should I use the foot pads?
Effects may occur within a few days (one or two pads per foot). You can use them as long as you see the need and have results. When toxins have been removed it is common to have no discharge or discoloration into the pad.

Sometimes my pads remain dry. Does this mean they are not working?
The pad has two main purposes, the two most important being its relationship to its emission of Far Infrared energy and an infusion of negative ions. This energy stimulates circulation, healing and removal of toxins from various parts of your body. This will stimulate your excretory organs to speed up their function. Those organs include the skin, lungs, kidneys, liver, bowels and bladder. Most of the detoxification that occurs through these regular channels only increases. When the pads do not get completely wet, it does not mean the product is not working, it just means your body is not excreting any excess fluid from the part of the body on which you are wearing them. In creating the pads, one of the goals was to allow the pads to stay dry as long as possible because once they are wet; they cannot emit the Far Infrared energy.

What causes the pads to be sticky when they are wet?
When the pads get sticky, it is the result of the ingredients used in the pads to absorb the toxic lymph fluids and excess moisture.
top
How do they help to cleanse my lymphatic system?
Toxins tend to collect in the extra cellular fluid of the lower extremities. In a healthy, physically active person who exercises regularly, these toxins would be taken up by the lymphatic system. When the lymphatic system gets sluggish and overburdened, everything backs up. As toxins are released, the burden on the lymphatic system is reduced in a gentle and effective manner. This process supports the optimal functioning of all the digestion and elimination organs.
top
Can I use the pads if I sleep less than 8 hours?
You can apply them before bedtime. It is best to wear them when you are relaxed and off your feet. Ultimately you should wear them while sleeping, because it is easier for your body to release toxins while your body is deeply relaxed. It is ok to walk on the pads, but we recommend removing them upon rising, as they may be moist.
top
Is there anything that will enhance their effectiveness?
It is wise to wash the site of application, to remove lotions, oils or anything that will block the pores. Soaking your feet in warm epsom salt water can enhance circulation and aid in opening your pores. You may want to wear socks if your feet get cold. The pads are activated by your body heat and normal skin moisture. Be sure to drink plenty of water and assure good contact between foot and pad.

If I'm taking medication will using them contradict this?
None of the ingredients are taken into your body, so there is no need for concern.
