Connect the remaining ends of the wires to the battery terminals, clamping them in place with the alligator clips. Place the spoon end in the bowls, one in each. It does not make a difference which is positive or negative.

Place one foot in each of the large bowls. Allow the feet to soak for 10 minutes a day, gradually increasing to 30 minutes. The electrically charged salt water should start to change color upon entering. This discoloration is caused by the toxins leaving your body, according to IonicDetoxFootBath.com. See the Color Chart in Resources for an explanation of what the different colorations of the water may indicate.

Tips & Warnings
Detoxifying herbs may be added to the ionic foot detox bath to help soothe the cleansing process.
Do not use anything other a 9-volt battery or you risk electrocution. The low voltage of the 9-volt produces nothing more than a mild massaging sensation. Anything greater could be harmful.
