ION CLEANSE

What is Ion Cleansing and how does it work?

The Ion Cleanse machine works by sending energy through your feet soaked in clean water.  This causes the pores of your feet to open and thereby cause toxins to release into the water which changes the color of the water.  Certain colors of water correlate to certain organs being detoxified. Clinical research has proven this technique of detoxification to be effective.

What actually happens during the treatment?

You will relax comfortably for 30 minutes with your feet in 6 - 8 inches of warm ionized water.  A copper coil attached to the Ion Cleanse machine is placed into the water to create a bio-energetic ionic exchange system that alternates surges of positive and negative ions (charged atoms) through your body.  You will see the water change colors as toxins are removed from different parts of the body.

Depending upon the types of impurities that are being stored in your body, the toxins will be attracted to either the surging negative or positive ions and will be pulled into the lymphatic system, the blood stream, and then will be extracted from the body through the skin of your feet.  The skin is your body's largest detoxifying organ, after all.

After the treatment is complete, you will see a dramatic change in the color and consistency of the water, which is a result of pollutants being removed from your body's systems.

You will be given a color chart to follow during the treatment so you may know what the color of your water indicates.  After the treatment we will rinse your feet with a mixture of water and essential oils to remove any debris from the treatment.

Is Ion Cleansing safe?

Our ion cleanse equipment has passed strict electrical safety tests to ensure that there is no risk of electric shock.  However, there are some contraindications to this treatment.  Those who have metal implants, pacemakers, are pregnant or lactating, have a history of seizures or psychotic episodes, or those who are on heartrate regulating medications are not advised to proceed with this treatment.  These precautions are primarily due to the detoxification effect the cleansing process has on drawing out metals and medications.

Why Detoxify?

With the vast array of pesticides, herbicides, colorings, additives, preservatives, and chemicals found in our water, air and food, we are exposed to more toxins today than ever before.

Toxins, chemicals, and even medications keep building up and are stored in our joints, organs, arteries, nerves, and tissues, disrupting the body’s function and creating an environment for disease, allergies, stiffness, and pain.

Ultimately, the immune system breaks down. Instances of disease have increased because our bodies cannot effectively process the load of impurities.  That’s why detoxifying the body periodically is essential to maintain good health, a strong immune system, and prevent disease.

How Can You Detoxify and Keep Your Immune System Healthy?

There are many ways to detoxify your body on an ongoing basis, including drinking plenty of water, exercising, getting your spine adjusted regularly, and even getting an occasional massage.  However, periodically it is a good idea to “jump-start” your detoxification with a food-based cleanse or ion-cleanse. 

There are many options available that draw toxins from the body, some quickly and some slowly.  We recommend the ion cleanse because it is very effective and is divided into several treatments to make sure you don’t detoxify too fast.

How Can You Avoid New Toxins?

It is always a good idea to avoid exposure to new toxins.  Try not to spend time in environments where pesticides, harsh cleaning products, paints, and fuels are heavily used.  If you can smell it, you are inhaling it.  Stay away from petroleum-based lotions, makeup, chlorine, and other chemicals that can be absorbed through the skin.

What we consume also makes a difference.  Today, the fast and convenient foods are the ones packed with preservatives, dyes, refined sugars, pesticides, and unnecessary pharmaceuticals.  Eating a diet of fresh fruits, veggies, nuts, grains and seeds that are organic (free of pesticides) is always the best choice.
