During a session, the user submerses their feet in a specific concentration of salt water. A metal coil is placed in the water and is attached to a machine which emits a pulse of electricity. A conductive strap is attached to the client’s wrist, and the same electric current is pulsed through the client’s body during the session. This is a weak electric current and is not, nor should it ever be painful.When the electric current is pulsed through the salt water, the water splits into positive and negative ions. These ions in the salt water are attracted to the ionic compounds in your body which are not of benefit to you — some examples are: pesticides, preservatives, and heavy metals. These toxins are pulled out from your body through the pores of your feet. Your feet have over 4,000 pores and they are the largest in the body. This makes makes the foot an ideal area to support detoxifying the body.
