What makes detox foot pads so great at flushing out unwanted toxins?**
Detox foot pads, as their name suggests, are pads you can put on the soles of your feet to support the body’s natural detoxification process.
Based on a centuries-old Japanese tradition, these pads work using osmosis, the chemical process in which molecules – in this case, toxins – get “pulled” or drawn out of the body through the use of semipermeable membranes. This process is seen in many other organisms, such as in plants. Upon application, the potent ingredients in detox foot pads capture and absorb toxic elements and molecules, which then end up “trapped” on the pads themselves.
While it is true that you can put the pads anywhere on your body, putting them on the soles of the feet is generally recommended, mainly because of three factors: the abundance of nerve endings, the number of sweat glands and the pores in the area. These three factors, plus their relatively large surface area, make the feet the ideal site for detoxification. You can even place detox foot pads on specific reflex points on your feet to maximize their effect.
What are Groovy Bee® Detox Foot Pads made of?**
Groovy Bee® Detox Foot Pads are made with the highest-quality ingredients found in nature, some of which have been valued for many generations across different cultures for their health benefits.
And to take things one step further, we've made sure to use only non-GMO ingredients that are ethically sourced and thoroughly lab-verified for cleanliness and purity. This is done to ensure that we preserve the individual ingredients’ purity and thus guarantee their effectiveness.
Bamboo vinegar – Bamboo vinegar is noted for its powerful cleansing and sanitizing properties. For centuries, Japanese people have applied bamboo vinegar topically to cleanse and rejuvenate the skin, eliminate foot odor and support good overall health.
Dextrin – Derived from glucose, dextrin is a water-soluble natural fiber that is known for its adhesive properties. We used it in our detox foot pads as a kind of glue to hold the active ingredients in the foot pads together. Additionally, dextrin can support your body's natural ability to detox.
Chitin and chitosan – A natural fibrous polymer found in certain fungi, chitin and its derivative, chitosan are known as excellent biosorbents. Chitin can effectively absorb and accumulate heavy metals and other substances, thereby making it an integral part of the foot pad. Chitosan is also used in emergency wound bandaging to support natural healing.
Loquat leaf – Picked from trees native to Asia, loquat leaves are naturally abundant in iron, calcium and other phytonutrients. Because of their impressive nutrient levels, loquat leaves have been utilized in traditional folk remedies for ages. Often used as a natural detox agent, loquat leaves are packed with potent antioxidants, such as vitamins A and C, which support good overall health. They also contain beneficial acids that support healthy fluid secretion.
Tourmaline – A natural silicate mineral, tourmaline is a semi-precious gemstone that is known for supporting a healthy mood and normal sleep quality. It is also known to support the body's natural detoxification process, which is why it is often found in detox foot pads.
Vitamin C – One of the most important nutrients your body needs for optimal health and well-being, vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can protect your skin against oxidative damage and support its health.
Minus ion powder – Beaches and other sources of water contain high concentrations of negative ions, which are particles that are good for your overall health and leave you feeling refreshed. The negative ions in minus ion powder act as molecular magnets for many toxins by effectively "mopping" up these toxins using ionic chemical bonds.
Zeolite – Zeolite is a microporous mineral best-known for its outstanding ability to absorb or physically trap toxins, heavy metals and other harmful substances.
Vegetable fiber – A natural preservative of sorts, vegetable fiber helps prolong the shelf life of the other ingredients in detox foot pads, thereby preventing them from breaking down and ensuring that they retain their potent properties.
How to use Groovy Bee® Detox Foot Pads**
Groovy Bee® Detox Foot Pads are surprisingly easy to use.
- Gently peel back the adhesive paper off the foot pad.
- Apply the adhesive side of one pad to the bottom of each foot. You can even place your foot pads over specific reflex points to support the healthy functions of specific organs.
- Leave the pads in place while sleeping, or for at least eight hours.
- In the morning, remove and discard the pads. Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the soles of your feet.
Note: It is recommended that you place the pads across the arch of each foot first before moving on to other spots. Make sure they touch as much surface of your skin as possible. You can keep the foot pads in place by wearing tight-fitting but comfortable socks, especially if you tend to move a lot in your sleep.
