How to Make an Ion Foot Bath

An ion foot bath is supposed to help your body detox and cleanse as you sit on a chair with your feet in the water. The idea is that the flow of warm water under your feet will cause the positive and the negative ions in the water to attach themselves to the toxins present in your body. It is supposed that your cells, energized by the ions in the water, will release toxins that have accumulated in your body all your life. Some claim that ionic foot baths will enhance the immune system, relieve pain and joint stiffness, improve organ function, regulate sleep and help recover from illnesses. It is expensive to get a foot bath at a spa; here is how you can build one at home.
