By Sandra Kim Leong, Thu Dec 8th

A body that is overloaded with toxins cannot perform its normalcleansing job that is required for optimal health. In additionto naturally-occuring toxins, it is estimated that more than 400man-made chemicals as well as heavy metals permeate the body ofa person today. Naturally if these toxins are not removed fromthe body, they can cause chronic health ailments. It istherefore very necessary to detox and cleanse the body fromthese toxins and pollutants.

One way that is gaining much popularity as a convenient methodto detox is the detox foot patch. The foot patch is simply apatch satchet filled with some natural plant-based ingredientsthat is applied on the soles of the feet. It has been widelytouted as a simple and reasonably effective way to remove waste,toxins, microscopic parasites, heavy metals, chemicals and evencellulite (as some manufacturers claim).

Why detoxify through the foot? According to Chinese TraditionalMedicine, our human body has over 360 acupuncture points, withmore than 60 acupuncture points found on the soles of the foot.Known as the "second heart", they reflect the zones of our majorinternal organs. These zones also indicate potential homes fortoxins.

Circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids reach their furthestpoints in the soles of the feet before being 'pumped' back upinto the higher areas of the body.

By applying the patch to the foot, the patch extracts toxinsfrom the body through the blood that circulates in the soles.After putting on the patch for a couple of hours, it turns darkblack, with a pungent smell. Changes in the smell and color ofthe sachet indicate the amount and degree of toxins which havebeen extracted via the patch.

For a thorough and complete body cleanse, it is still better togo through a proper detox program. But for those who find itdifficult to take the time off to detox and cleanse, the detoxfoot patch is a convenient and safe option to consider. Simplyapply the patch to the soles of your foot overnight and look atyour results in the morning!
