The Ion FootSpa creates precisely the same type of healing ions as found in the air after an electric storm or when walking along a beach while the waves are crashing. Millions of negatively-charged ions are produced that alkalize the blood and tissue. In the Ion Footspa your feet are in direct contact with such ions as the device creates them in the water.

An ion is a charged atom that has gained or lost an electron. This creates a magnetic field capable of attaching to and neutralizing oppositely charged particles. These neutralized particles are extracted from the body through the process called osmosis which is the movement of particles through a membrane from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration.

The Ion FootSpa device, in combination with water and minerals, generates positively and negatively charged ions by separating oxygen and hydrogen in the water. Ionized particles travel out in what is referred to as the "corona effect". These ions energize the body and neutralize a myriad of toxins. These neutralized microscopic particles then pass easily through the skin and tissue and are deposited in the water or sloughed naturally through sweat, bile and urine pathways.

Unlike the air, minerals in the water are capable of holding a far greater amount of this energy in a small area. As your body absorbs these ions, they are carried throughout your body and its systems accelerating the body's ability to detoxify.

Because of poor diet and high stress, we tend to accumulate and store excessive quantities of waste products. Neutralized particles are pulled out of the body through the skin via osmosis. Color changes in the water are some of the indicators that toxins are being removed from the body.

The particles, fat and mucous residues found in the water after bathing reflect the wastes that have left the body during the 30-min session. The Ion FootSpa footbath sessions will support and cleansing modality and may even reduce the discomfort associated with rapid detoxification.
