Why does foot reflexology and detoxification work so well together

Traditionally, the Chinese and Japanese have known about the detoxification effect of certain tree extracts and the meridian pressure points of reflexology and accupressure. 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 favorite among Asians, young and old, healthy and weak.

Today, this beneficial formula is packed in plaster pack using modern, hygiene packing methods and sold here.





How does foot detoxification work?

It is widely known that the waste products(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 reaches an excessive level, they can cause fatigue, lethargy, restlessness or other health problems.
These health problems are virtually undetectable and the doctor will continue to give you a clean bill of health despite you knowing somewhere, somehow, things are not quite right with your body. Afterall, who knows your body better, yourself or the wise doctor who probably think that you are imagining things!
There are various methods to clear the build up of these waste products(toxins) in our body; including fasting, dieting, sweat out in a sauna, regular physical exercise or even colon-cleansing. Some of these detox and cleansing methods are costly, some are difficult to maintain and some are plain dangerous!
Detoxification patches are totally natural for the body, safe, easy to use and provide rapid detox.
These tree extract plaster helps to cleanse your body's waste products in an easy, trouble-free and painless way. Just wrap one sheet of plaster on the sole of your foot before going to bed, and allow it to work while you are asleep. The color of the sheet will change according to the condition of your health. Those with health problems will notice the sheets are initially darker the following morning. With regular use, the sheets will progressively get lighter and lighter, indicating a steady improvement in your health. The patch can also be applied to specific problems on localised parts of the body, such as the wrist, knee, shoulder, ankle, and groin.

Apply a foot detox patch to each foot before sleeping every night
 
The product works on the principle that tree trunks, which are composed of numerous tiny tubes, are able to draw water and nutrients through the roots and up to all other parts of the tree. Expanding on Reflexology Concept, that different parts of the foot are connected to every other parts of our body, the flexi-patch are applied on the sole to help dispel wastes products from the body, very much alike the way the tree trunk operates.

See with your own eyes how much yucky toxins are expelled each morning!





Detoxification Foot Pads-Medical report 24 September 2010

There is now a growing awareness of the need to cleanse our body of toxins. Whole body cleanse involve many ways, the more popular ones are to consume supplements that help to detox in certain part of our body. There are many types of body cleanser out there, for example there are supplements to detoxify or cleanse your colon, your liver, your kidney, your blood system and so on. Lately foot reflexology and foot spa is also gaining popularity as part of the whole body cleansing solutions. There is another product that is fast becoming popular, the detoxification foot pads.

Everyday, along with the food that we consume and the air that we breathe, we accumulate plenty of toxins in our body. Some of these toxins such as heavy metal contamination in the form of arsenic, aluminum, beryllium, lead and others entered into our body through paintwork, industrialize product, chemical, contaminated water and insecticides. The milder case of accumulated toxins in our body will result in extreme discomfort such as headache and migraine. More serious condition results in malfunction of our vital organs, infertility and deformed babies.

The need for our body cleanse is important and cannot be overemphasized. Researches had pointed out that detoxification is the fastest way to regain our health and for us to live a longer and healthier living. The purpose of detox foot patches is to assist us with the detoxification process by applying them to the sole of our foot at night before we go to bed. The detox foot pads are supposed to absorb toxins from our body that will be excreted through our foot. 

At one glance and if you are hearing this for the first time, the application of detox foot pads in helping our body to cleanse itself may sound like a hoax. However, there are many medical and clinical research that had been carried out with results that show the effectiveness of the products in helping our body to detoxify itself.

The theory behind detoxification foot patches lie in oriental healing practice that our foot contains many acupressure and reflexology points that affect certain organs within our body. The following diagram shows the map of the acupressure and reflexology points at the bottom of our foot:





When the specific acupressure points are simulated, it will energize and detoxify the relating organs. This may sounds bizarre or weird to readers from the Western countries but this traditional healing knowledge has been passed down through the generations in the Oriental countries. The truth and effectiveness of this method had been slowly gaining recognition even among Western medical practitioners in the last decades.

This explains why traditional foot massages such as the Thai, Cambodian or Vietnamese foot massages had such positive beneficial effect on the well-being of our body. Its benefits are not limited to just pure relaxation, but people who have been getting regular massages had reported on better health, more energetic and clearer mind.

The introduction of foot detox pads into the market had drawn both positive and negative remarks among medical practitioners. Some had la belled detox foot pads as nothing but pure hoax and scams to cheat consumers off their money. On the other hand, many consumers who had been regularly using the detox foot pad claimed that they had gained tremendously from the detoxification foot patches by reporting better sleep and better energy when they are awake. Many reviews on detox foot pad had been written both on its benefits and labeling it as scams.

Dr. Group had provided some explanations to the many contrasting reports. He had carried out research on detox foot patches for over 7 years and have been using them personally to determine if these works. In his research, he found that many of these detox foot patches actually works but there are many products that are in the market are just bad copies of the good product and these had given all the good products such a bad name. His conclusion was that, even though there are many scam-buster reports written about detox foot patches being hoax, we should not dismiss its benefits just because of few bad apples. He also advised consumers to be better educated and find out information for themselves before buying.

It is also very important for consumer to buy the products from manufacturers or producers that had carried out medical and clinical tests. Test results should be made available to consumers. It is also important that these producers could describe well the ingredients used in the detox foot pads. 

One of the detox foot patches that have met all the criteria of carrying out medical researches, getting good customers testimonials and had very detailed descriptions of the ingredients and how the detox foot pads work is the patches developed by Dr Group with Kenrico, Japan. Dr. Group’s Detox Foot Pad only made use of organic ingredients, and it is listed and described as follows:

Organic Wood Vinegar – improves blood circulation. It also produces an osmotic effect which helps to transport toxins across cell membranes and eventually draws them through the pores in the soles of your feet.

Organic Bamboo Vinegar – this ingredient has herbal properties that include the ability to aid the discharge of undesired waste matter from the body. 

Organic Agaricus Blazei Murril – a specie of mushroom that grows in the Brazilian red clay without any artificial cultivating processes. This ingredient help to relieve symptoms of allergic disease, high cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure.

Tourmaline Gemstone – this is a semi-precious gemstone and mineral that emit negative ions and far-infrared rays. It helps to relieve stress, increase mental alertness, improve circulation and strengthen the immune system.

Amethyst Gemstone – this gemstone emits negative ions and exerts a cleansing and liberating energy on the nervous system that helps to promote a clearing and stabilizing effect.

Dextrin – this starch help to absorb toxins and at the same time bind all other ingredients together.

Organic Loquat Leaf – this is a herb that contains several beneficial acids and vitamins such as B17. It simulates the fluid secretion of toxins and attract them into the foot pads. This herb also help to calm nausea and vomiting.

To get the maximum benefits of the detoxification pads, you should apply them on each foot every night or every other night. Gently peel of the backing paper of the detox foot pads and press gently to ensure that the pad is secure. When you wake up in the morning, you will find that the foot patches will be discolored and had turned dirty in color. Avoid touching the dark part of the patches as it now contains toxins that had been drawn during sleep. Cleanse your feet thoroughly. 

After regularly using them for months, you will find that the detox foot patches do not turned that dirty in color. This shows that the toxin load in your body had been reduced. How long does it takes to detoxify our body using the detox foot pads? Typically, many users will require about 12 months but its results can be felt even within weeks after using them. However, consumers should note that using detox foot patches by itself is not sufficient to totally cleanse the body system.
 
Whole body cleanse consists of more than just using the detox foot pad. Detox foot patches does have its role but you may want to use it in conjunction with other toxin cleanser such as the colon cleanser and the liver cleanser. 

Foot Detox Pads

Detox foot patch is a convenient way to detox. It's simple and yet effective. The foot patch is simply a patch sachet filled with some natural plant-based ingredients that includes tourmaline, vinegars, natural vitamin sources, herbs, and mushrooms.

According to old practices from Japan; a man's soles are the second most important organs after the heart. The reason behind this is because the soles of our feet have the greatest numbers of capillary endings. Due to this reason, detox foot patches are recommended to be applied directly on the soles. The patches can remove waste, toxins, microscopic parasites, heavy metals and chemicals.

When applied on the soles of the feet, these detox patches extract toxins from the body through the blood that circulates in the soles. It's recommended that the patches are applied on the feet before going to bed and be left there for about 8 hours. While it's perfectly fine to use it during the daytime, it's more effective during the night because when we sleep, our body's natural healing mechanism takes over and these patches can work in harmony with our bodyfs natural rejuvenation process to better extract toxins. Make sure to drink plenty of water during the detox process to assist your body in extracting those harmful toxins and chemicals that have accumulated.

Be prepared for a fascinating result when you wake up in the morning. Removing the patches, you will notice a color change on the patches. By now, the detox patches would have turned dark black, sticky and with a pungent smell. Changes in the smell and color of the sachet indicate the amount and degree of toxins that have been extracted from your body.

New Way To Detoxify Your Body – Use Foot Pads

Many people don’t realize how much toxins are getting inside their bodies everyday. Even I was not aware of this until I came across a few such reports. Toxins can get in our body through numerous ways. They can cause all sorts of health related problems.
There are many ways through which toxins may be able to find their way inside our body. The air we breathe is polluted. We eat mostly processed foods, and many times it is even adulterated. The water we drink is also not completely pure. This is among the ills of the modern society that we are taking in too many toxins inside the body.
Is it any wonder that so many people suffer from ill health? Diseases and illnesses are common among people of all age groups. Even though we live in a highly developed society, still the health conditions of people is deteriorating. Toxins in the form of chemicals and pollutants may be one of the factors responsible for this.
Unhealthy lifestyles of people and polluted environments are perhaps the two major causes for the increase in toxin levels in the common man. We urgently need to reduce the amount of calories and junk food in our body. Otherwise we may suffer from various health related issues.
The process of removing toxins from the body is called as detoxification. Many times, it is a continuous process as you have to detoxify your body periodically. We can also take precautions like maintaining healthy lifestyle and healthy habits. At the same time, we should avoid processed food as much as possible. It is better to start eating more of fresh fruits and vegetables and drinking fruit juices instead of soft drinks.
We have to start making this transition if we value our health. However it may still not be possible to completely eliminate the problem of toxins. For that reason, we should go for detoxification of the body. People try out various kinds of detox diets which might help in detoxifying to a certain extent.
Another unique and interesting way of detoxification is to use detox foot pads. They have become popular just recently. They might have been in use in places like China or Japan from a long time back. But they have only recently found their way in the West. You just have to apply these small pads on your feet while sleeping at night. You can remove them in the morning. They are supposed to help in removing dangerous toxins from the body.
Unlike detox diets, foot pads are much easier to use. People may start a detox diet but may not be consistent with it. However, applying foot pads at night is much easier and they are likely to continue this habit for a long time. The result could be better than following a detox diet.
Detox diets seem to work by stimulating the lymphatic system of the human body. The lymphatic system will then do the task of removing toxins. So the detox foot pads are not directly responsible for detoxification. Instead they help the body to detox itself naturally by stimulating the lymph system.
People using detox foot pads have reported numerous benefits like improved concentration, better energy levels, good quality sleep, reduction in pains and headaches, stress reduction etc. They also seem to help in strengthening the immune system and improve blood circulation. Some claim that these foot pads also help in weight loss by improving metabolism rate.

How to apply Kinoki Foot Pads

Principle
Why apply it to the soles of the feet? According to Chinese medical knowledge, our human body has over 360 acupuncture points, with more than 60 acupuncture points found on the soles of the foot. Known as the second heart? they are the reflective zones of our major internal organs, they are also potential homes for toxins. When the blood circulates to the soles, the Foot Patch sachet can absorb toxins released from the acupuncture points. The Foot Patch comes in a white sachet that is applied to the soles of the feet. After only one night of body detox, there may be significant changes to the smell and color of the sachet (from brown to grayish black) as it reflects the amount and degree of toxins which were extracted from the body. With continuous usage, there should be a visible reduction in the stain and odor of the sachet.



How to use the foot Patch:
1/ Remove the larger piece from the adhesive sheet and discard. Place the side of the pad that has the wording onto the adhesive plaster.  

2/ Place the Foot Patch onto its center, making sure that the writing on the sachets is facing down toward the adhesive surface.  

3/ Stick and spread firmly onto the sole of your foot. For best results, put them on some time before bedtime, you can wear them around the house if you sleep less than 8 hours.  

4/ Allow 8 to 12 hours for toxins to be fully absorbed from your body before removing the Foot Patches. They can be used on other parts of the body where you feel pain.  

The pads may feel warm after you have put them on. During the night the pads will become dark in color as they absorb toxins and waste matter from your body. They may also become sticky depending on the levels of toxins present. Wear the pads for at least 8 hours a night for maximum effect. The more toxins you have in your body the darker the patch will be when removed. With continued use the pads will become lighter. You may detox in a few days or take longer depending on the state your body is in! When the pad is pale your body is pure.

Notice
1/ Foot Patches work best when placed on the soles of the feet.
2/ They can be used any time but it is preferable overnight as you sleep. Socks worn over the foot patches can help prevent kicking them off during the night.

Additional Note: The Foot Patch should not be placed over open wounds, mucous membranes, or around the eye area. The Foot Patch can however be very effectively placed over other areas of the body where you are experiencing pain, discomfort or swelling. When using on any area where the skin is naturally moist, oily, curvy or prone to motion; it will help to use some form of adhesive tape or similar product (like band-aids or medical tape) to better ensure optimal contact of the Takara Foot Patches with the skin. Additionally, the non-foil backing of the patches ensures the potency and effectiveness of the ingredients, to maximize your cleansing experience.
