My Detox Story

In today’s fast paced world, specially the kind of lifestyle we live in, it is imperative to take out some time for yourself. As we know that the waste toxins accumulated from the food we eat and the polluted air we breathe in contribute to many health problems to our body. When the waste products in our body reach an extreme level, they can cause fatigue, lethargy, restlessness or other health problems.

The Chinese and Japanese have known about the detoxification effect of certain tree extracts. Combined with other herbs and when applied to the sole of the foot, it has been found to vastly improve circulation and promote detoxification of the human body leading to general better health and well-being. This combination of toxin cleansing and reflexology has made this formula a favourite among Asians, young and old, healthy and weak.

My Experience – This is an interesting product. While I was coming off of some of my more toxic medications I thought it might be beneficial to help draw out some of the toxins stored in my body. So I did a little research and came across detox pads. They have various herbs, roots and other substances in the pads which are supposed to draw out toxins that settle in your feet while you sleep. I have happened to use the detox foot pads for about a week.

When I used it for the first time, I was astonished to see the effect. You place the pads on the bottom of your feet right before you go to bed. In the morning you remove the pads and wash your feet. The really dreadful part was what has come out in the pad. The whitish colour pads had black brown in coloration. Depending on the individual, the detox period may be for two or three days to two or three weeks, or longer in the case of more severe.

I would probably try it again more to see if I ever reached a point where the pad comes out clean and I am supposedly clear of all my toxins.
