Toxins are found in our every day environment. We are constantly exposed to tobacco smoke, motor vehicle fumes, pesticides, heavy metals, chemicals and industrial pollutants. We are also exposed to food additives, preservatives and colorants, alcohol and drugs. For our bodies to function optimally, they should rid itself of all metabolic toxins and harmful waste products that weaken our immune system, causing a wide variety of unpleasant symptoms, including tiredness, lethargy, headaches, skin eruptions, bad breath and body odours, flu like symptoms and many others.
Some experts regard detoxification to be essential measure to good health and for fewer immunodeficiency diseases. Healthy body tissues and cells are balanced and contain equal proportions of positive and negative ions. During the 'balanced' state, our system functions well, absorbing nutrients, oxygen and water, whilst removing metabolic toxins waste. If the ion imbalance occurs - for instance due to bad diet, illness, injury, stress or lack of exercise - the process of absorption and elimination begins to work less effectively, leading to gradual build up of toxins with fewer nutrients and oxygen reaching the tissues.
Many believe that by soaking your feet in a relaxing detox foot soak spa is effective in helping people with conditions such as psoriasis, ezcema, migraines, PMS, arthritis, asthma and many others.
