How to Make Ionic Feet Detox
The Ionic Foot Detox Bath is a controversial bodily cleansing system that is said to magnetically pull the toxins from your body through your feet via electrical current. Many holistic healers swear by this cleanse and believe the proof is in the discoloration of the salt water after the detox is complete. Try it out for yourself using a few household items.

Place a foot in each basin and allow them to soak for 10 minutes. Do this everyday and after a week, gradually increase the soak time up to 30 minutes. Upon placing your foot in the ionic detox bath, the water will begin to change color as the toxins are magnetically pulled from your body.

Tips & Warnings
Add detoxifying herbs to the basins for added soothing sensation during your soak.
Use nothing other than a 9-volt battery to provide a mild massaging sensation to the baths. Anything stronger and you risk electrocution.
