The Science Behind Ionic Foot Baths
It all begins with water - H20
A water molecule is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. When the water molecule loses a hydrogen atom, the remaining OH molecule takes on a negative charge. These negatively charged ions are absorbed into the body and alkalize the blood and tissue.
An ion is a charged atom that has gained or lost an electron which creates a magnetic field capable of attaching to and neutralizing oppositely charged particles. These neutralized particles are then expelled from the body through it's natural excretory pathways.
Osmosis
Osmosis is a process that describes the movement of particles through a membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Nature strives for balance and osmosis is a perfect example of this in action. In this case, the higher concentration refers to the ion field set up by placing the array into the water.
Ionic Current
When the array is placed into the foot bath and submerged under water, the low level direct current electricity feeding the array causes the metals within the array to combine with the water and salts generating negatively and positively charged ions. You can "see" this happening when you notice the bubbling - this is the array separating the oxygen and the hydrogen within the water.
Ionic theory states the ions travel through the body attaching themselves to various toxic (out of polarization charge) substances thereby neutralizing their toxic effects. These toxic substances are then expelled though your bodies natural excretory pathways.
Bio Energy
At its core, the IonChi™ foot bath uses a proven scientific process to re-balance and promote healthy natural detoxification of the human body. The body's bio energy field is enhanced during an ionic foot bath session. Each person experiences the positive effects of ionic exposure differently.
CHI
Ch'i or qi (pronounced "chee" and henceforth spelled "chi")
Chi is the Chinese word used to describe "the natural energy of the Universe." This energy, though called "natural," is spiritual or supernatural, and is part of a metaphysical, not an empirical, belief system. New Agers often refer to this energy as subtle energy. Chi is thought to permeate all things, including the human body. Such metaphysical systems are generally referred to as types of vitalism. One of the key concepts related to chi is the concept of harmony. Trouble, whether in the universe or in the body, is a function of disharmony, of things being out of balance and in need of restoration to equilibrium.
The knowledge of the treatment of Chi has been around since the beginning of medicine. The benefits however, were not realized by the western world, until recent times. Once available, these treatments were only offered in a clinical setting, at prices ranging from $60.00 to $100.00 per treatment. Now, for the first time, you can benefit from this amazing process that will restore your body pathways and enable your body to heal itself!
