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 Foot Patches are applied to the soles of the feet, the patch ingredients work by producing negative ions and far infrared (FIR) energy as well as absorbing and containing elements including lactate, urea and other excrements.

Negative Ions, released from the tourmaline, are thought to have a calming effect on the human body, this is why many people who use Bodytox Foot Patches report to achieve a better quality nights sleep and improved feelings of general well-being. 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 can be found in our natural environment. The combination of ingredients in Bodytox Foot Patches produce Far Infrared Rays. These rays resonate with the body’s own energy to warm the body. This results in maintaining blood circulation around the foot and opening the pores to eliminate excrements which are drawn out under osmotic pressure from the blood and lymphatic systems. In a similar way to when we work out at a gym or when we have a sauna.

Please note that 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 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 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 ago, 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 encourage a smooth flow of energy to the major organs of the body.

Caution

The patches are not to be applied to open wounds. Discontinue in the event of an allergic reaction. Consult with your healthcare practitioner before using if you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication or have any existing medical condition. Keep out of reach of children. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

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 excrement, 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 excrement. The important factors to note, during use, are whether you feel better, more alert, experience increased energy or sleep more soundly.

The only way for you to be completely convinced is to try them yourself and experience the many 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 excrement 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 excrement it started with, prior to applying the patches. This reinforces the fact that it is the excrement being absorbed by the patch that make it change colour.

5. The patches have been purchased by the millions every month in the Far East for many years and more recently in America and Scandinavia. 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.

We recommend using our patches every day for 5 to 15 days to remove the accumulation of excrement that has 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 waste is 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. 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. For balance it is wise to have both feet involved in the 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 Foot patches in one form or another have been in existence since 1999 and now are recognized throughout the world.

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

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

The patches may 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.

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 waste matter while you are 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.
