My friend who suffers from arthritis was staying with me for a few weeks and swore by these. The way she put it was that the pads are put on your feet at night and they extract the toxins out of your body and claimed that the dark color that they turn is proof of this.
When she used them consistently and until the pads no longer turned black, she swore that her aches and pains were gone as well as her usual fatigue. She gave me 2 pads, one for each foot for me to try overnight and although in the morning, they had reached their dark color, I just concluded that the ingredients inside the pouch were rather dark to begin with and once they were strapped to my feet for 8 hours, the material separating them from my skin just became a bit more translucent. I didn't give them enough chance to see for myself if I felt any better because I didn't want to use up her entire supply, but my friend swears by them to this day for her arthritis, tiredness, and other general aches and pains.
Also, my brother who is a 3rd degree black belt confirmed their use and perceived benefits in the Chinese culture when I asked him if he had heard of these. His instructors use them as well.
