How To Make Detox Foot Pads At Home to Flush Toxins

The foot is a remarkable structure.

"The NHS Choices website indicates that there is 'reasonably good evidence' to support the effectiveness of acupuncture in treating a variety of conditions, such as back pain, dental pain, headaches, postoperative nausea, and knee osteoarthritis. Patient anecdotes also support these claims..." – David Derbyshire

Two millennia later...

Acupuncture continues to defy skeptics. If mindfulness meditation is considered 'Exhibit A' in the metaphorical defense of traditional therapies, then acupuncture stands as 'Exhibit B.'

Despite some vocal skepticism from a minority in the medical community, certain traditional medicine practices have shown to be beneficial.

FOOT PADS AND ACUPUNCTURE

One might ask, "What do foot pads have to do with acupuncture?"

It's a valid question. The simple answer is "quite a bit."

Studies have demonstrated that acupuncture's effectiveness is partly due to its impact on the body's autonomic nervous system. Detox foot pads are purported to function in a similar manner.

HOW DETOX FOOT PADS WORK

Let's skip the anatomy and physiology lesson and focus on the workings of detox foot pads.

According to Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt from the American Academy of Neural Therapy:

"The primary effect of the foot pads is the stimulation of the liver and kidney meridians, which boosts the metabolic rate at which these organs detoxify the blood and cleanse the body."

Detox foot pads operate on the principle of reflexology, a traditional healing method that uses reflex points on the bottom of the feet to stimulate specific body areas. Advocates of detox pads and acupuncture believe these reflex points are crucial for health enhancement.

The sedentary nature of modern work culture means that the average person spends too much time sitting. This lack of enthusiasm for work often leads to lethargy, perpetuating a cycle of inactivity at home as well.

Prolonged sitting, necessary in some settings, can impede blood flow to the lower extremities.

Such a sedentary lifestyle is detrimental to overall health, primarily because it hampers blood circulation. Poor blood flow can adversely affect the entire body, including tissues, muscles, cells, and organs.
