Detoxology Detoxifying Foot Pads

The Easy Way to Detox

Reflexologists believe that every part, function and organ of your body is reflected in energy points in your feet, therefore stimulating your feet can help balance your whole body. Crystal Spring Detoxifying Foot Pads absorb perspiration on the foot which contains toxins and are placed over some of your reflexology meridian lines.

These Detoxification Patches:

	Remove toxins through perspiration
	Are made using a combination of natural herbs and semi-precious tourmaline
	Help detox you while you sleep

Key Ingredients

	Green Tea Green tea is drunk extensively around the world for its taste and reduced caffeine content. Green Tea originated from China and it is possible to find references to green tea in Chinese literature as far back as 5000 years ago. Green tea was one of the first teas being widely drunk even before black tea became popular. There are many myths and legends surrounding who discovered green tea, but one of the most popular describes it being discovered by an Emperor when a Green Tea Leaf accidently fell into his cup of hot water.
	Tourmaline Tourmaline is a semi-precious crystal that is the birthstone of October. Apart from being used in jewellery, tourmaline has been used to heal the heart Chakra and neutralize negative energies. It is also worn by artists and poets who believe that it increases their creativity by helping them move beyond limited thinking to create vivid new ideas. Tourmaline exerts a cleansing and liberating energy and is one of the few gem stones known to emit far infrared. Far infrared has a warming and soothing effect on the skin helping to excrete perspiration, which contains toxins, into the Footpad. Tourmaline also gives off negative ions, which are abundant in nature around waterfalls, and crashing waves.
	Wood & Bamboo Vinegar Wood & Bamboo Vinegar are used in China because they are good drawing agents. Remember how people used to put their feet in a mustard bath. Wood vinegar and Bamboo vinegar work in a similar way.

Before and after!

One of the great things about our footpads is that they are so visual. The pads works by heating your foot overnight and making it sweat into the pad, bringing out toxins with it. Your sweat reacts with the herbs in the footpads and when you take them off in the morning you can defiantly see the difference! Have a look at the before and after photo below to see the results for yourself.

How to use

Before you go to bed:

1. Take one adhesive sheet and one footpad out of the box.

2. Unwrap the footpad from its protective plastic film.

3. Carefully peel off the paper on the back of the adhesive pad.

4. Place the detox foot pad onto the middle of the adhesive sheet. Please take care to make sure the side of the footpad with the Crystal Spring logo is placed against the adhesive sheet.

5. Put the detox patch on your foot. Mid foot is fine however if you would like to be more adventurous, use the reflexology chart on the reverse of this leaflet. We suggest alternating between your left and right foot each night.

6. Go to sleep and take the footpad off in the morning. It’s that easy!

Testimonials

Dear Sirs,
Crystal Spring Detox Footpads,
I recently purchased a box of detox footpads and found them very good. I used all fourteen pads but wondered whether I actually had a full detox, possibly something to do with my age.

I am 70 years old, have scoliosis together with one or two other back problems, which was diagnosed in 2002 when I was advised that any sort of exercise e.g. in the gym would not be good for me, only walking. Because of this I am now overweight. I now realise this was not good advice I had received from a Consultant. I have other unrelated problems such as hiatus hernia, my cholesterol is right down now after taking alternative medicine, which previously peaked at 7.9.

My waling deteriorated over this period with pain in back and legs and now have difficulty in reaching the bus route about five minutes away. In February this year I moved and all the extra running around brought on arthritis in my left knee and this exacerbated the back problems. Gradually I became less active through not getting the appropriate exercise, felt more and more under the weather with no vision for the future plus having chronic constipation. Between February and August my left knee would swell up periodically and was very painful much of the time. Just before I started the detox the swelling spread down my leg right down to the beginning of my toes and the skin was tight like a balloon. I’ve never had a detox before. As mentioned above about my age, I felt really ill and “on my last legs” and wondered if a detox would help my knee indirectly.

Just two or three days after starting the detox the swelling had gone right away. Progressively I felt better and better, so much so, I registered with the Fitness Centre next door.

Frequently Asked Questions About Detox Footpads

How else can I help the Detox process?

Drink plenty of fresh filtered water – as much as 2 litres a day - we know, we know, but it’s good for you. Avoid caffeine, alcohol (oh dear, oh dear), too much red meat, dairy products, sugar, too much wheat, hydrogenated fats (found in most processed foods), artificial additives and smoking. Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and take exercise on a regular basis. Oh and don’t forget the water – it is important.

What do the detoxification patches do?

They contain tourmaline crystal and herbs which create warmth in the foot and draws the perspiration, which contains toxins, into the footpad. Any release of toxins has to be a good thing as it allows your body to work more effectively. The warmth also stimulates the reflexology points of the feet.

How does Reflexology work?

People have known for thousands of years that the feet have reflex points which reflect every organ, part and function of the body. Stimulating these reflexes promotes equilibrium in the corresponding body part. Placing a footpad on the sole of your foot can affect the reflexes too. Placing the pad on different parts of the foot can show different results on the footpads in the morning, but as the liver meridian is on the middle of the right foot, this is the best place to start. See the reflexology foot chart below:

Can I use the detoxifying footpads on other parts of my body?

It is perfectly safe to use the detoxification foot pads on other parts of your body – as long as it is not on broken, delicate or irritated skin. However you will not be using the reflexology points of your feet and you will not get the same release of toxins as you would by using them on your feet.

Why detox?

Our body creates toxins all the time, which if our diet is perfect, we drink plenty of clean spring water and exercise, our body should be able to remove on its own. But we now live in a chemical world that makes it more difficult for the body to detox.

Why are Crystal Spring detoxification footpads so good?

Crystal Spring Detoxifying patches contain Tourmaline Crystal, which generates a feeling of warmth on the foot. Tourmaline Crystal is known to be a natural source of far infrared and negative ions, both of which are extensively researched in the East.

What can I expect from the Detoxification patches?

The great thing about Crystal Spring detox footpads is that the results are so visual. In the morning you will see a dark sticky mess on the pads. Over a period of time, that gets lighter in colour and less sticky. The detoxification footpads will never be clear as the herbs inside are a light greeny/ brown colour.

Are they safe to use?

Crystal Spring Detoxifying Footpads do not deliver any chemicals into your body, they are made from natural ingredients.

Refleksologit uskovat, että jokainen kehosi elin ja toiminto on sidoksissa jalkapohjiesi energiapisteisiin, joten jalan stimulointi voi auttaa koko kehon tasapainon saavuttamiseen ja ylläpitoon.
