F.A.Q.

What is a Detox Foot Bath?
A IonChi™ Detox Foot Spa helps your body cleanse by drawing out heavy metals and toxins through the numerous pores on the soles of the feet. The therapy begins by placing the feet in a foot tub filled with warm spring water and sea salt. A coil is then placed in the tub. The coil acts on the salt water by iodizing it, which allows the toxins and impurities to be released in sweat from the soles of the feet. A detox foot spa is especially effective for this method of cleansing since you have more sweat glands in your feet per inch than anywhere else on your entire body.

Is the IonChi™ Detox Foot Spa Safe?
The IonChi™ Foot Spa is CE approved for safety.

Why is a foot detox bath important?
Your body is constantly cleansing itself of toxins that result from the intake of foods, water, and air. When there are more toxins than nutrients in the cells of your body, you will notice a lack of pep and energy. This is your body’s message that something is wrong and needs correction. The body naturally eliminates or neutralizes toxins via the liver, kidneys, perspiration and exhalation. However, for most people, toxins accumulate faster than the body can eliminate them. This is when treatments, such as the foot detox bath, can be beneficial. The foot detox bath will allow a greater level of waste products to be excreted and therefore help your body to regulate nutrients and oxygen to the tissues. This will help restore your body to wellness.

What can I expect during a foot detox bath?
A detox foot spa bath is very simple. You sit in a chair and place your feet in the foot spa that contains warm spring water, sea salt, and an array. A session will last for 30 minutes. After the session is complete, you will be able to go back to work, or do any daily activity that you would normally do. Afterwards, we recommend that you drink plenty of water for the rest of the day and take a mineral supplement because the detoxification will pull out some of the minerals that naturally bind with the heavy metals and toxins that are eliminated during the bath.

Why do you need to rebalance or detox your body?
The body needs to cleanse itself of toxins each day. Toxins the body cannot eliminate are stored in fatty tissue, joints, muscles, and the brain. These toxins can clog cell membrane walls which are then unable to absorb enough nutrition to support normal cell functioning. Over time, this leads to reduced vitality and weakened immune and lymphatic systems. You can see this visually on pH strips as toxins tend to be acidic and reduce the pH balance. The IonChi™ detox foot spa bath from Kraft Global, LLC helps the body re balance itself, improve pH, and increase energy levels.

How many sessions do I need?
Initially, 6–8 sessions are recommended – once or twice a week. This allows your body to completely purge the accumulated toxins.

A monthly or bi-monthly maintenance program is recommended to ensure that toxins do not re-accumulate due to absorption from environmental exposure. The appropriate number of sessions will be determined by your body – your feeling of well-being – your energy levels.

How do I know when to change an array?
To view how many sessions you have used on your IonChi unit; with the power off press and hold the arrow up key and ENT key on the unit and then turn the unit on! Arrays typically last an average of 40 (30 minute) detox sessions.

What can I expect to feel?
While each person’s experience is entirely different (according to the type of toxins and which systems of the body have been stressed), most people experience a re-balancing period directly after the session. While you can resume normal daily activities following your session, it is recommended that you allow some time to rest and relax after your detox foot spa, so your body can more easily and quickly “re-calibrate.”

Some people have felt tired following their sessions, while others felt an immediate rejuvenation and rebound in their energy levels. It all depends on what is going on with each individual and his or her body.

How do toxins build up?
Detoxification is the body’s natural process for eliminating or neutralizing toxins via the liver, the kidneys, perspiration, and exhalation.

Ever since the industrial revolution and the post-World War II petrochemical industry, toxins have been accumulating in the human body faster than they can be eliminated.

The body absorbs toxins from our environment. The toxins include such things as industrial chemicals, pesticides, food additives, heavy metals, tobacco, and air pollution.

How does this process of detoxification work?
There are more sweat glands in your feet per inch than anywhere on your body. The array creates an energetic effect that assists the detoxification process by attracting a positive and negative ion exchange between your feet and the water. The salt increases the conductivity of the water so that the effect can occur. Hence, the color changes seen in the water are related to the ionic exchange occurring.

Can anyone use the system?
If an individual has been quite sick, we recommend that he or she should go through the process at a slower pace.

A schedule of once a week or every other week would be advisable, as the process of detoxification continues even after the session has formally ended.

Drinking more water is extremely beneficial and we encourage you to drink more during and after your detox foot spa session (and always!). (Dehydration – the lack of enough water in your body – is one of the common denominators of all diseases!)

An ionic body detox footbath should NOT be used by:

-Children under age 15.
-Persons with a Pacemaker or any other battery-operated or electrical implant.
-Person who is on heartbeat regulating medication;
-Pregnant women and breast-feeding mothers.
-Organ transplant recipients.
-Persons having an organ removed, especially the colon.
-Persons taking a medication, the absence of which would mentally or physically incapacitate them, e.g., psychotic episodes, seizures, et cetera.

IMPORTANT… users should also be aware of the following:

Persons should not wear metal, use a computer or cellular phone during an detox foot spa footbath session.
Persons with low blood sugar should eat before using the ionic body detox foot bath.

Though not dangerous, persons having a metal joint implant may find exposure to the electromagnetic field generated by the ionic body detox foot bath to be uncomfortable. In the event of discomfort, stop using the ionic body detox foot spa immediately.

Persons taking prescription medication should take meds after or four hours prior to their ionic detox foot spa session.
Because an ionic detox foot spa is designed to aid the body in eliminating toxins that the kidney and liver cannot eliminate on their own, as a general rule, it may be used by persons on dialysis or by those diagnosed with diabetes or congestive heart failure. However, persons with these conditions, or any other medical condition, should consult their physician prior to implementing the ionic body detox foot spa as part of their wellness program.

In addition to toxins being pulled out bloodstream by osmosis and diffusion during the detox foot spa session, valuable electrolytes (calcium, potassium, sodium, and magnesium) can also be purged from the body. To safeguard against this possibility, users are encouraged to take a multivitamin supplement that provides the aforementioned minerals, as well as fatty acids and vitamin C. We recommend replacing electrolytes and minerals with natural food and/or mineral sources.

Because overuse of an ionic body detoxification footbath can deplete the body of nutrients and lower energy levels, please follow usage/frequency instructions carefully to derive optimum results.
Users should be properly hydrated prior to each ionic body detoxification foot bath session.
