Is Detox Foot Spa a Hoax?
Detoxification takes many forms. It claims to rid the body of toxins coming in from various sources. Detoxifying techniques include dieting, fasting or consuming only specific kinds of food. There are also more sophisticated methods such as colon cleansing and chelation therapy. A controversial detoxification method is a foot bath called detox foot spa.
Detox foot spa makes use of certain devices that allegedly remove toxins from the body. It could be a mild electrical current passing through the feet or an adhesive pad applied on the foot. The result is discoloration in the water or pad which is claimed to be the manifestation of expelled toxins. As there is no medical confirmation that the discolorations are indeed toxins from the body, detox foot spa is considered by many as a scam. Beware of foot spa systems that promise detoxification. You can become a victim of a hoax.
