      Ionic Foot Bath

      Ionic Foot Baths can have a powerful impact on an array of health conditions, from allergies and asthma to arthritis. The Ionic Foot Bath detoxifies your body through your feet and has numerous applications for overall health.

      Let’s share some fun facts about your feet. Your feet contain from 2,000 to 4,000 pores, and these pores are some of the largest on your body. There are approximately 250,000 sweat glands in your feet, and they are more concentrated on the feet than any other part of the body. It makes sense that the humble foot has been a focal point for detoxification through the centuries. The washing of feet has been an iconic cultural and spiritual symbol in almost all cultures across the globe.

      The Ionic Foot Bath – also known as the Ionic Foot Detox – emerged on the scene in the early 2000s, with manufacturers citing research from Royal Raymond Rife, an American inventor, in the 1920s. Ionic therapy, in general, is often linked to Rife’s discovery of bioelectric medicine. The concept of detoxifying foot baths, however, can be traced back thousands of years in Eastern and Ayurvedic medicine. The ionic aspect is what is relatively new.

      Ionic Foot Bath Therapy is a simple yet powerful healing protocol that can improve whole body detox, overall cardiovascular health, aid weight loss, reduce pain and inflammation, manage stress, build immunity and improve sleep.

      What is an Ionic Foot Bath?

      The Ionic Foot Bath is a medical spa therapy that utilizes salt and water, together with an electrical current, to enable whole body detoxification through your feet. Ionic detox also helps promote alkalinization of your body state through this process of ionization. Ionization is believed to remove free radicals from the body.

      Understanding the pH Connection

      The central aim of these foot baths is to make the body’s pH more alkaline because an alkaline state in the body is believed to be central to health. An acidic state, conversely, is a perfect environment for disease to thrive. So, the more alkaline you can become, the healthier you can be.

      The human body functions best when the ions are balanced at 20 percent positive ions and 80 percent negative ions. In this case, negative is good and positive is bad.

      Also, what we put into our body – from the water we drink, the toxins in our environment and the food we eat – will have either alkalizing or acidifying effects.

      Benefits of an Ionic Foot Bath

      The Ionic Foot Bath is non-toxic, non-invasive, quick, easy and safe – with a long history of use to promote its benefits. Some of the health benefits you may experience from Ionic Foot Bath Therapy include:

      • Whole body detoxification
      • Enhanced circulation and better blood flow
      • Improved overall cardiovascular health
      • Improved sleep
      • Pain relief
      • Better metabolism
      • Increased weight loss
      • Decreased muscle tension
      • Decreased inflammation, stiffness and pain in joints
      • Stress reduction
      • Improved mental health, including conditions like depression and anxiety
      • Better skin health
      • Increased energy

      Any health condition that shows improvement after detoxification is a condition that should respond to Ionic Foot Baths. It has helped cancer patients tolerate chemotherapy, for instance. Because detoxification promotes health, almost no condition doesn’t respond favorably to Ionic Foot Bath therapy.

      What Can You Expect From Your Ionic Foot Bath Sessions?

      Your Ionic Foot Bath will be provided in our office. We will take a medical history and discuss the overall state of your health and any current symptoms you may be experiencing. Using this information, a special treatment protocol will be tailored to your individual needs.

      As your therapy session begins, your feet are submerged into warm water infused with a salt solution. An array electrode, connected to a power source, releases ions into the water, causing a chemical reaction that generates negatively charged ions. These negatively charged ions attract and neutralize positively charged toxins in the body, drawing them out through pores in your feet.

      The longevity of your Ionic Foot Bath session will likely depend on the condition(s) being addressed. You should not experience any side effects. Your One Agora Integrative Health specialist will discuss any before or aftercare you might need.

      What Conditions Does Ionic Foot Bath Treat?

      Ionic Foot Baths can be beneficial for a wide array of symptoms and conditions, including:

      • Chronic Pain and Inflammation
      • Rheumatoid and osteoarthritis
      • Depression and other mental conditions
      • Sleep problems
      • Weight loss and metabolism
      • Circulation issues
      • Cardiovascular conditions
      • Respiratory conditions
      • Edema
      • Mental function/clarity
      • Sports injuries
      • Swollen, sore muscles

      • Immune Function
      • And more!

      Is an Ionic Foot Bath Safe?

      When people hear the words salt, water and electrodes in one sentence, the immediate reaction is to worry about being electrocuted. There’s no need to worry. Foot bath power supplies actually convert dangerous AC current from the power outlet into completely harmless DC current that splits the water molecules and produces ions. The Ionic Foot Bath has a proven safety record and is not dangerous at all.

      Of course, before using Ionic Foot Bath, it is necessary to obtain a correct diagnosis of the condition being treated.

      Ionic Foot Bath is not ideal for individuals with certain medical conditions, like pregnancy. It may also need to be avoided by people with:

      • High blood pressure
      • History of cardiac arrhythmia issues, autonomic dysfunction, or other very specific medical criteria, like the use of a pacemaker
      • Open, untreated or infected wounds
      • Poorly managed diabetes or epilepsy

      Your One Agora Integrative Health specialist will work with you to determine if Ionic Foot Bath is right for you.
