All of us are subjected to the immune suppressing action of ageing, environmental contaminants, chemical in foods and water, disease and the stresses of a fast paced lifestyle. Over time, it can become the cause of inducing various disabilities or diseases both in physical and mental states.

Toxicity occurs on two basic levels - external and internal. In every day life we dispel external toxins when we shower, bath, wash our hands, rinse our mouth, and brush our teeth on a regular basis. Hygiene is essential in maintaining our health! If we neglect our body by not keeping it clean, we would soon find ourselves accumulating offensive agents leading to disease.

Every day we eat, drink and impose toxins upon ourselves repeatedly and regularly. In fact, any substance can have toxicity - water, sodium and almost all nutrients can be a problem in certain circumstances. On the internal level, our body produces toxins through its normal everyday functions. Biochemical, cellular and bodily activities generate substances that need to be eliminated. When these substances/molecules/toxins are not eliminated they can cause irritation or inflammation of the cells and tissues, blocking normal functions on a cellular, organ and whole-body level.

The most familiar and extreme form of detoxification is with that of fasting however there are many other ways - Bodytox Detox Foot Patches are one of these effective ways.

After carrying out detoxification the therapeutic results can be that you experience a noticeable difference in energy, vitality and general well being.

If toxins are allowed to build up and block the nerve pathways our health can be adversely affected. According to medical knowledge, the human body has over 360 acupuncture points with 60 of these and some 7000 nerve endings located on the soles of the feet.

When Bodytox Detox Foot Patches are applied to the soles of the feet, powerful ingredients encourage the release of any toxins in the lymphatic system, helping to clear the meridian pathways. The patch ingredients work by producing negative ions and far infrared (FIR) energy as well as absorbing and containing unwanted toxins.

Negative Ions, released from the tourmaline, is thought to have a calming effect on the human body, this is why many people who use Bodytox Detox Foot Patches report to achieving a better nights sleep and experience stress relief and improved feelings of general well-being. In simple terms, Negative ions are good for you whilst positive ions are bad for you. High levels of negative ions are found in the air, on beaches, mountains, near waterfalls and places which make us feel good after visiting them.

Far Infrared is very helpful for maintaining good blood circulation and can be found in our natural environment. The combination of ingredients in Bodytox Detox Foot Patches produce Far Infrared Rays.

These rays resonate with the body’s own energy to warm the body. This results in improved circulation and opening of the pores to eliminate toxins which are drawn out under osmotic pressure from the blood and lymphatic systems.

Absorption and containment of the expelled toxins are achieved by a natural highly absorbent powder contained in the patch.

These thermal images are taken of a person prior to applying the patch on the foot and the effects after 3 hours have elapsed.

Please note that depending on the constitution of your body i.e. if you have cold, warm or a neutral body constitution, will determine the level of warmth one can feel from the patches. This warmth you may or may not feel is not directly associated to the overall benefits of the FIR penetrating your body i.e. if someone feels the warmth of the FIR more than another, this does not mean that it is working better for them.

Reflexology as with other foot therapies works on similar principles to Bodytox Detox Foot Patches, based on the theory that every organ, area and system of the body is mirrored by a meridian point (acupuncture point) on the feet. Reflexology is a complementary therapy, based on the same principles as Chinese acupuncture. Pressure-point massage of the feet was used in China over 5.000 years a go, as well as by the Ancient Egyptians, Hopi tribes of North America and 16th century European medical practitioners. Meridian points on the feet can be stimulated to help clear blockages along meridian channels to encourage a smooth flow of energy to the major organs of the body.

Yes, both the foot and warm patches can be used although the warm patches will be more effective for this purpose as they have increased levels of Far Infrared. Benefits from the Far Infrared properties of the patch can be achieved by positioning the patch where irritation, aches and pain persist i.e. the back, neck, hip, knees or directly to an area where skin rashes are present.
Please note that when placing them on your body you are treating a localised area and not the whole body, as when applying them to your feet. Therefore you will not see the same level of toxic discharge, if any at all, as when placing them on your feet.

In the majority the patches adhesive will be sufficient to keep it on over night however in extreme fidgeting circumstances we recommend that you wear a pair of light cotton socks to prevent it from coming off. The sock can also increase the Far Infrared energy levels.

Everybody is different. The majority of people will see the patch become lighter in colour or more patchy within a few days of use, however, some people may use the patch for a couple of weeks before they see a change in colour. The patches will never become completely clear as the body is always ridding itself of toxins. The important factors to note, during use, are whether you feel better, more alert, experience increased energy or sleep more soundly.

It is only natural for people to question the authenticity behind the claim that a foot patch can provide an effective means of detoxification. It sounds too good to be true. However, the only way for you to be completely convinced is to try them yourself and experience the many health benefits Bodytox Patches provide. But if you still need convincing, it would be hard to dispute the strong written evidence that supports the effectiveness of this product:

1. We have individual test results that prove Bodytox patches emit a negative ion count of approximately 1,200 per patch.

2. Tourmaline, an ingredient contained in the patch, is well documented on web sites and in literature to emit Far Infrared rays (FIR). FIR is well researched and proven to encourage the body's metabolism to increase and expel unwanted toxins from the body.

3. Users have reported that their sleep is less interrupted and they find getting up in the morning easier. They also find that they have more energy.

4. You may wonder if there is a chemical reaction with certain ingredients in the patch that makes it change colour. Over a period of use, you will see this colour fade, not totally disappearing, but it is very obvious that your body no longer contains the level of toxins it started with, prior to applying the patches. This reinforces the fact that it is the toxins being absorbed by the patch that make it change colour.

5. Detox patches have been purchased by the millions every month in the Far East for many years and more recently in America and Scandinavi. This popularity endorses their effectiveness however, a word of warning, watch out for cheap imitations which are ineffective.

There are no harmful side effects associated with Bodytox patches. Very few people have found they can sometimes feel worse when using the patch for the first time. This experience is so-called the 'healing crisis' and users who experience this symptom are most likely to be those with chronic or 'old' complaints. This stimulation of reflex points and associated circulation will act to assist the body in its recovery process. It is most likely that such users will find that the discomfort is tolerable and that it will disappear in a day or two with continued use.

Detoxing should be performed on a regular basis to stop the accumulation of harmful toxins. We recommend using our detox patches every day for 5 to 15 days to remove the accumulation of toxins that have built up over many years. This period of time can be lengthened or shortened depending on the user's state of health and lifestyle. This should ideally be followed by a maintenance plan requiring 1 - 2 applications a week depending on lifestyle. A general rule of thumb is to stop using the patches when they become patchy and lighter in colour as less toxins are extracted and then to use them when you require to.

They do not deliver any chemicals to the body and you ingest nothing therefore they are completely safe. Nevertheless, we recommend that you discontinue use if any allergic reactions occur.

In this day and age we cannot completely advise someone who is pregnant or who is taking medicine that the products is ok for them as each persons symptoms can be different and we are not qualified to advise you on such things.

We can however advise you that none of the ingredients are taken into your body, the product only removes from your body that which your body puts out for collection. We have many people who use the patches whilst on medication and to date there has not been any side effects reported from using the Bodytox patches.

Yes, you may do that but as you study the reflexology foot map you will see that the liver point, for example, is located in the same place on both feet. If you were detoxifing the liver it would be most beneficial to apply a pad to both feet at the liver point. Also for balance it is wise to have both feet involved in the detox process.

No, they are 100% natural ingredients and none of the ingredients enter the body. The ingredients merely stimulate and draw from the inside out.

Bodytox Detox Foot patches in one form or another have been in existence since 1999 and now are recognized throughout the worlds for their ability to effectively cleanse the body on the inside.

The patches are for single use only. Once the patch is activated by the resonance in the foot and toxins release onto the pad, any reuse would not be effective or hygienic.

You may require more sleep as your body begins to release toxins and people will benefit from a better night's sleep resulting in more energy and alertness.

Detoxifying will improve your circulation, aid in the elimination of waste and increase the movement of lymphatic fluids. This may create feelings of vigor, easing of muscle and joint problems, improved immune system, and better sleep.

Toxins tend to collect in the extra cellular fluid of the lower extremities. In a healthy, physically active person who exercises regularly, these toxins would be eliminated by the lymphatic system. When the lymphatic system gets sluggish and overburdened, everything backs up so as toxins are released, the burden on the lymphatic system is reduced in a gentle and effective manner. This process supports the optimal functioning of all the digestion and elimination organs.

You can apply them before bedtime. It is best to wear them when you are relaxed and off your feet. Ultimately you should wear them while sleeping, because it is easier for your body to release toxins while your body is deeply relaxed.

It is wise to wash the site of application, to remove lotions, oils or anything that will block the pores. Stimulating the area with a massage or soaking your feet in warm water can enhance circulation and aid in opening your pores. You may wish to wear socks to ensure the patches remain in position or if your feet get cold. The patches are activated by your body heat and normal skin moisture. Be sure to drink plenty of water and assure good contact between foot and patch.
