Foot Detoxes

 An ionic foot detox can help your body eliminate toxins and free radicals that find their way into your system through food, beauty products, and the environment. Essentially, an ionic foot detox works by splitting the water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen electrons.

Through an electrical current that’s safe to send through the water while your feet soak in it, the system ionizes water molecules into positive and negative ions. These ions attract and neutralize toxins and heavy metals of the opposite charge by pulling these contaminants out through your feet. After 30-60 minutes with your feet in an ionic foot detox bath, you should feel more relaxed, and without the harmful toxins and free radicals that may contribute to health problems.

A foot bath or foot soak is a common ancient practice owing to many health benefits. The ancient Chinese and Japanese have always stressed taking out time for daily foot soaks. 

It is believed that feet are the foundation of our health, and soaking feet in warm water or blended with the combination of botanical oils, minerals, plant flowers, roots, stems, essential oils, etc. have therapeutic as well as spiritual implications. 

This practice not only soothes and relaxes the body but also has the power to alleviate some of the symptoms like aches and pains. Reflexology also stemmed from this concept that is used to relieve stress and treat many illnesses.

Apart from the combination of blended mixtures used for foot bath another important element is the bowl used for soaking feet. It also has effects as skin is the largest organ of the body and the skin of feet has more sweat glands and nerve endings that can help in soaking up and producing systemic effects. 

t increases blood circulation, relaxes muscles, and relieves fatigue. Using copper bowls has many health benefits because it possesses antimicrobial properties and is a hygienic choice.

For centuries copper has been in use as a natural antimicrobial. In ancient Egypt ionized copper was used to purify water. The copper bowl used for soaking feet will provide all the benefits of copper to the body through the absorption from the skin of feet. Following are some of the benefits that are achieved by using copper bowls:

●       Copper has anti-inflammatory properties that have restorative effects on the joints, connective tissue, and muscles. When the foot touches a copper bowl it can absorb some of the copper and helps in alleviating the inflammations in conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, etc.

●       Copper is antimicrobial so, any microorganisms coming in contact with the copper bowl cannot stay alive for long and will die before causing any infective skin condition. It makes it a hygienic option for foot baths.

●       Copper can heat up quickly and retains heat. Hot or warm water poured in the bowl can stay at the same temperature for a longer time which provides continuous foot soaking effects.

●       Copper is also known to have healing and regenerative effects on the skin. So, copper foot bowls will reduce skin irritation, and help in skin regeneration. It is the reason that copper is found in many topical skin creams.

Copper foot bowls are an easy way to replenish your body with the benefits of copper as well as foot baths. 

Using a copper bowl, you can enjoy deep relaxation, relief from tiredness or fatigue, and alleviation of any painful symptoms of joints or muscles. 

Copper bowls are also easy to care for as they do not rust or crack. 

With the excellent heat retention and antimicrobial property, it is easier to use for foot soaks without being worried about water getting cold or risks of microbes after disinfecting the bowl after each use. 

Keeping in view the benefits of copper bowls we use custom copper bowls at Angels and Sages Spa for foot massage, soaks, and baths.
