An ionic foot soak is a detox treatment that involves placing your feet in a basin of warm saltwater with a device called an array that sends a low-voltage electric current through the water which generates both positive and negative ions. The ions created in the water interact with your body’s electrical system, drawing out toxins through the pores in your feet. As your feet soak, your body can undergo an amazing cleanse of many stored toxins. An ionic foot soak is a relaxing and non-invasive way to help remove toxins, boost your energy, and leave your skin glowing.

An ion is an atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons, giving it an electric charge. This charge can either be positive or negative depending on whether the ion has lost or gained electrons. When saltwater (or water with dissolved salt) is subjected to an electrical current, the water undergoes a process called electrolysis, which splits water (H₂O) into its constituent ions, H⁺ (hydrogen ions) and OH⁻ (hydroxide ions).

Certain environments naturally contain high concentrations of negative ions (also known as anions) and these environments are often associated with various health and well-being benefits. Negative ions are created when molecules, in the air, gain an extra electron. This process can occur through natural phenomenons such as lightening, water falls and ocean waves. There is ongoing research into the potential health benefits of negative ions. Some studies suggest that they may improve mood, reduce stress, enhance respiratory function, boost energy levels and improve sleep quality.
