What is an ionic foot detox ?
An ionic foot detox involves immersing the feet in warm water while a gentle low‑voltage current passes through an array (ionizer). This setup produces charged ions in the water, which are claimed to attract and pull out toxins, heavy metals and waste through the large number of pores on the soles of the feet.

The benefits often listed by providers of ionic foot detox treatments:
1. Supports natural detoxification — Helps relieve the body’s burden by supporting processes such as lymphatic drainage, circulation, and waste removal. 
2. Improves circulation & reduces swelling — The warm foot bath plus ionic stimulation may increase peripheral blood flow and assist with fluid retention in feet/legs. 
3. Boosts energy & mental clarity — Many clients report feeling more energized and less “foggy” after a session. 
4. Better sleep & relaxation — Because the treatment involves immersion, warmth, and a calming experience it may help reduce stress and improve sleep quality. 
5. Reduction in pain, inflammation & stiffness — Anecdotal reports point to less muscle or joint stiffness, relief of minor aches, and improved mobility. 
6. Improved skin health — clearer skin, fewer blemishes, and softer feet from regular sessions. 
7. Complementary wellness support — It’s often used as part of a broader wellness or spa regime (e.g., after foot massage, sauna, etc) for holistic benefits.
