Detoxification is a popular treatment offered by many spas. In fact, as more and more people begin to believe and appreciate in holistic living, the practice of detoxification or detox for short is gaining rapid popularity.

Detox is the process of ridding the body of toxins and other impurities. It is believed that there are much toxins and impurities in the food we eat and the air we breathe. Our body is not able to purge our body of all the toxins that we ingest everyday. As a result, too much toxins in the body can lead to tiredness, listlessness, general lethargy and pains in the body and joints.

In severe cases, buildup of toxins in our body in the long term can lead to liver and kidney problems as well as cancer and other major ailments. Hence, advocates of healthy living and holistic lifestyle actively advise that detoxification is built into part of a health living concept that we can put into daily living.

Detox treatment offered in spas are commonly mud or wrap treatments. It is believed that mud and other wraps will ex foliate the skin of impurities as well as purge the body of toxins and impurities. Sweating out through active sporting activity or through a hot sauna is another popular way to sweat out impurities in a spa. However, such detox treatments in a spa can be expensive and time consuming and other supplementary detox treatments should be added.

Some fringe spas may even recommend detox pills, detox juices or in extreme cases, even colon cleansing routines. Detox medications often induce deep diarrhea and colon cleansing routine involve internal colon purging procedures for rapid detox. (Note: I am personally against colon cleansing routines and I also view detox pills and juices treatments with some reservations)

One safe and easy way to perform detox at home is through the use of foot detox patches. Foot detox patches are popular in Japan and Korea and has a medical history that run into hundreds of years based on Chinese reflexology principles. Detox patches work on the principle that toxins can be drawn through the human foot just as the roots of trees draw up nutrients from the soil.

You may purchase foot detox patches online and try it to see how toxins and impurities can be drawn out from your feet. Many people are amazed how much toxins can be purged through their feet when trying foot detox pads for the first time. I was shocked and amazed when I first personally applied it!

However, merely applying foot detox patches is not enough. A complete natural home detox program should consist of physical exercises that make you sweat, drinking plenty of water and eating the right food in addition to daily application of the foot detox patches.
