Ionic Foot Baths

Scientists have likened the ionic action of a detoxing footbath to the healing power of the sea. We all know how wonderful a walk on the beach feels. Quantum Life Healing offers the Sea Onic Footbath from Body Balance System which is one of the leading detoxification system available.

Quantum Life Healing offers a detox footbath as a natural method of assisting the body in eliminating harmful toxins and heavy metals and other harmful foreign matter. The ionic footbaths function by passing a current through a set of plates that are immersed into the footbath water (inside the footbath tub). The footbath water contains an added mineral, Sea-Onic Concentrate, which closely resembles the complex mineral concentration of the ocean. While immersing your feet in the water, positive and negative ions are emitted by the footbath system. This reenergizes the body and red blood cells. This type of system is described as a Detoxification machine because the response of a rebalanced body is to excrete any excess toxins via the kidneys, liver, bowels and skin. This process not only occurs DURING a detox footbath session, but also AFTER a treatment. The footbath triggers the body’s lymphatic system and continues to detoxify for the next 24 to 48 hours. The entire process takes approximately 30-40 minutes for adults and is completely safe to use.

Studies show that an overall balancing effect occurs coupled with a significant increase in the number of negative ions. Ions are atoms, or molecules, that have lost or gained electrons [Free radicals are unpaired electrons]. If the atoms or molecules lose electrons, they become positively charged ions. If they gain electrons, they become negatively charged ions. The ionic technique of cleansing through feet provides a full-body purge of all vital organs, resulting in reduced menopause symptoms, menstrual cramps, sexual health problems, skin problems, acne,
sleep problems, restlessness, stress, toothaches, wrinkles, aches and pains and yeast infections. The internal cleansing can also assist in faster disease healing and injury recovery.

Because of poor diet and high stress, we tend to accumulate and store excessive quantities of toxins and overall waste products. During a 30-minute session, the ions enter your body and begin to neutralize these tissue acid wastes. This process is called reverse osmosis.

The array begins the conduction process by first producing both ions on the positive plate surface and electrons on the negative plate surface. This results in a safe, low-voltage charge that is applied to the plates. The array has a total of three plates. The two outer plates have the same polarity while the inner plate has the opposite polarity. This is important in order to optimize the qualities of the footbath and the detoxification process.

The liquid bubbles that come off the positive plate have a preponderance of active positive charges in them and their pH is less than 7. The liquid bubbles coming off the negative plate have a preponderance of active negative charges in them and their pH is greater than 7.

The different pH of these bubbles serves to produce a shifting charge on the surface of the skin as the various bubbles from the plates contact, in a random manner, with the skin. This helps to effectively absorb the bubbles through the skin. Once the bubbles are absorbed through the skin, the net pH change in lymph will depend on many details of both the current lymph composition and the minerals in the footbath.

Sea-Onic Footbath Concentrate
The footbath consists of a mineral solution in which an electrical current is passing through. Although there are visible bubbles of gas coming off the plates as the footbath progresses, there are also bubbles of liquid coming off the plates that are not as easily observable. These bubbles are tiny and some have only a few dozen molecules in them.

The liquid bubbles are short-lived, which is why it is sometimes recommended that the footbath water be gently stirred with the feet as the footbath progresses. This gentle stirring encourages the bubbles to come into contact with the skin of the feet before they dissipate within the footbath water. As liquid bubbles come into contact with the skin, the pH of the skin will fluctuate locally around the average pH of the footbath. This fluctuation ends up attracting bubbles of the opposite charge so that they can more easily attach themselves to the skin for penetration. These bubbles are also composed of hexagonal water clusters that wrap around the various oceanic minerals within the footbath. The combination of electrical attraction and small cluster size makes it easier for these tiny liquid bubbles to enter the pores of the skin and make their way into the lymphatic system.

Once inside the lymphatic system, these extremely small liquid bubbles will release their minerals into the lymph. This will generally raise the pH of the lymph towards the optimal value of 7.4. These liquid bubbles have a smaller cluster size and move more readily in the lymph. This in turn will tend to displace the old lymph that has a much lower pH and larger water cluster size. The old lymph gets pushed either towards the immune system, or back into the footbath water, where it gets discarded with the bath water at the end of the footbath session.

It should be noted that there is a way to find out the pH of the lymph by measuring the sub-lingual, morning-rising pH level. This pH will slowly rise to 7.4 after a regular sequence of footbaths. This happens due to the improved oxygenation that comes from the lungs from the refreshed lymph. The pH level will stay at this healthy value indefinitely, provided that a suitable nutritional program is undertaken to maintain it. If no changes are made to the nutrition, and no further footbaths are taken, the pH will ultimately revert to its initial low value (the national average is 6.2) and the sense of well-being will eventually dissipate.

The old lymph that gets pushed towards the immune system becomes easier to dispose of because the small liquid bubbles have a greater concentration of alkaline (oxygen-bearing) minerals. These alkaline minerals then feed the immune system and give it greater power to recycle unwanted components (toxins).

It is important to understand that the footbath stimulates the detoxification process by creating  greater chemical activity that delivers clustered water components, loaded with ocean minerals, into the lymph. As discussed above, these in turn will displace the old lymph and this displacement is the essence of the detoxification process.

The Sea-Onic footbath is one of the safest detoxification processes due to the fact that there is no actual current injected into the body as with other modalities. The water in the footbath, and the detailed configuration of the array plates, insures that the actual electrical current only flows between the narrowly-spaced plates. This serves to produce these tiny water bubbles that is then safely penetrated into the skin of the feet that enters the lymphatic system.
