When it comes to ionic foot baths there are two groups--those who swear by the device, and those who write it off as a hoax. However, both sides can agree the ionic detoxing baths promote relaxation.
Manufacturers and promoters of the device claim that the ions in the bath draw out the toxins from the pores at the bottom of the foot, however there is no concrete scientific evidence that supports this claim . It is used by placing the foot in salt water while the attached metal creates an electrical charge. This charge is the "ions".
Ionic detox baths are generally found in spas and natural health clinics, and the treatment usually costs upwards of $45. Some body workers such as massage therapists and reflexologists use the foot baths as well. You can also purchase a foot bath for about $500-$1000 depending on the quality and features of the machine.
Determining whether or not these devices work depend on personal experience.
