Frequently Asked Questions
How do toxins build up?
The human body uses electrical impulses mainly from the brain to function. All
the cells in our body produce Bio-Energy. When this energy level is high, the
cells function properly (e.g. nutritional absorption takes place and toxins are
discharged). When we get diseases or overly stressed, and are continually
bombarded by toxins everyday, our cells are affected and the Bio-Energy level
is dramatically reduced. Therefore, our cells cannot function at their best and
release toxins efficiently.
How does it make you detox?
The machine does not make the body detox. It bio-energetically stimulates you
to enable self detoxification and rebalancing of the body as shown in research
using medically approved equipment.
Can I have a treatment every day?
The manufacturers recommend once or twice weekly treatments. For those
suffering from illnesses, the frequency should be reduced. This is because, for
those who are unwell, their bodies go into "healing" mode after treatment,
during which they may feel tired or lethargic. In our experience most people
feel lethargic immediately afterwards, and feel the benefits over the following
days. Some time is required for the body to fully recover, and a follow-up
treatment should not be given for a few days, or until they feel fully
recovered.
Do you have proof of what the detox cures?
The machine does not cure anything. It is simply a machine which enables your
body to re-balance its bio-energetic fields which stimulates
self-detoxification. When the electro-magnetic fields are balanced, the body's
organs will naturally function better.
Will the color of the water change if I run the unit without feet?
The array is designed to erode. This is like a pencil - if it did not wear out,
it would not work. No diagnoses should be made visually via the colors for
this reason as part of the color change is due to the erosion of the array.
Also as normal tap water contains many toxins and chemicals, the array will
also "detox" the water.

How long should a detox session last?
In an adult body, the cycle of blood takes approximately 20 minutes for one
complete cycle. Therefore, to stay on the machine for less than 20 minutes
would not be harmful in any way, but would not be beneficial either. This cycle
is considerably less for children, and the recommended treatment times reflect
this. Adults should have the full 30 minutes, children 15 minutes. It should
not be used on children under the age of 4.
After a session, will I be restricted in my activities?
No, you can go about your daily business as usual. The most common side effect
we have experienced is that you may feel tired directly after the treatment and
feel the benefits over the next few days.
Is there who cannot have a detox session?
The Detox Foot Spa Treatment is safe for most people, however the following
cannot have the Detox Treatment:
Persons with a pacemaker
During pregnancy (or suspected pregnancy)
Persons with implanted organs
Persons with epilepsy
Persons currently undergoing any form of radiotherapy or chemotherapy
Persons with type 1 Diabetes
Persons with open wounds on their feet
Why does the water change color?
When waste leaves the body via the sweat glands, i.e. perspiration, it is
clear. The waste from our bodies reacts with the water causing color changes.
Part of the color change can occur due to the properties within the water
supply, the natural corrosion of the array when the ions are produced.
Why is salt added to the water?
Water is a poor conductor of electricity. To improve the conductivity of the
water salt is required. As a general guide half to one level teaspoon of salt
is sufficient, however this may vary depending on your water type.
What does the session feel like?
Most people do not feel any sensation, although sensitive people may feel a
slight tingling in the feet. After the 30 minute session the feet usually feel
wonderful!
How do I know which therapy will be the most beneficial for me?
The practitioner will offers a free initial consultation in order to discuss
your concerns and specific conditions. They will then be able to recommend a
personalized treatment plan for you.
Can I have Foot Spa Detox treatments whilst taking prescription drugs?
In general, prescription drugs consumed on a daily basis which stimulate the
body’s defense system, regulate a deficient system or stimulate detoxification
would be considered compatible with the treatment. However, it is not advisable
for those taking life saving medication unless prior medical consent is given.
Can I have a Reflexology treatment even though I have a verruca?
Yes. The practitioner will cover your verruca with a sticky plaster and avoid
the area whilst treating.
My partner and I have been trying for a baby unsuccessfully for 18 months
now, can Reflexology help?
Reflexology has certainly shown to be very powerful in helping couples to
conceive. For the very best results, weekly treatments for at least 6 weeks are
recommended.
Is it safe to have Reflexology treatments in the first trimester of
pregnancy?
Some Reflexologists prefer not to treat during the first trimester of
pregnancy, however Reflexology can not , does not and will not cause the body
to do anything unnatural at any time during pregnancy.
How long will the detox session last for?
The session time is 30 minutes, though if you are having an Aqua Health
Ionizer Detox
foot spa session from a complementary therapist or at a beauty salon, there is
likely to be additional time taken up in having a professional consultation and
often a free foot pampering afterwards.
Will I suffer any side effects from a 30 minute detoxification session?
Generally no. However, some people have experienced mild headaches, or mild flu
like symptoms, after treatment. Drinking plenty of water and nourishing the
body with wholesome raw plant food during or after the detox session can help
to reduce these symptoms or totally prevent them. Nutrifresh which comes in
individual packages is the product which supplies you with more than 21 fruits
and vegetables. All you need to do is just add water, stir and drink!
Do I need to do anything during the detox session
Before the detox session it is important to increase blood circulation. This
can be done by purchasing a Infrared Blood Circulation Massager and having a 10
minute session. Using the massager for ten minutes helps to enhanced your
detoxification session which means it is not necessary to stand 2-3 times
during your detox session.
How many sessions should I have?
Ideally one or two per week for the first 6 sessions. It is then recommended
to have a minimum of 1 session every two weeks to maintain optimum levels of
detoxification.
Why does the water change color?
There will be a reaction between the array and the saline solution, which will
give a light orange/yellow tint to the water. This is a natural occurrence and
is the sodium being drawn out of the salt by the current.
The toxins expelled from your system will also contribute to the discolor of
the water, but this will diminish over the course of regular treatments as
fewer and fewer toxins are released. The water will get gradually lighter over
a course of treatments but will not ever be completely clear as there are trace
toxins naturally present in tap water.
Why does there appear to be deposits floating on top of the Water?
Again, this can be as a result of the reaction between the array and saline
solution. Or, it can be deposits drained from the lymph glands and or pores.
