The Dr. Mary Staggs™ Ionic Detox Foot Spa offers a relaxing alternative therapy, which will re-balance the bodies’ natural energies, improve Micro-circulation thus assist in improving your overall general health & well-being.

How Ionic Detox Works

Since Ionic Detox Foot Spa’s begun their popularity as a method of detoxifying the body, there have been many claims and explanations describing their actual effects and how they work.

The Dr. Mary Staggs™ Ionic Detox Foot Spa utilises a very simple technology, but the body’s response is not simple, and the overwhelming focus on changes in the water has not been fairly represented and the broad picture of what actually occurs during and after a series of ionic foot spa sessions. There is no empirical research to back up charts and explanations that claim to interpret what the various colour and sediment changes in the water actually mean. These are produced by companies that use this method of charting as nothing more than a “Sales Pitch” to sell their products.

This focus on interpreting colour change and sediment in the water is largely sensational in nature and designed to increase sales of the other various brands of ionic foot spas now available on the market, but it does the body a disservice in that it does not explain the true complexity of the process of bio-stimulation and bio-detoxification, and often leads to disappointment when people realise that not all of the colour change and sediment that they see in the water is related to toxic materials being released from their bodies.

It is now widely accepted that there are meridian flow lines that carry electrical impulses throughout the body, and that when they are exposed to certain stimuli, including a mild electrical charge, there can be a rebalancing effect that causes organs and glandular systems to operate more effectively. This has also been shown to lead to improvement in micro-circulation of the blood, especially through the very small blood vessels, called “capillaries”, which serve cells located in the peripheral areas of the body.

Toxins tend to accumulate in these peripheral areas, where they can contribute to premature aging, joint and muscle pain, deteriorating health and disease. Poor Micro-circulation can also be responsible for causing or contributing towards many serious health conditions.

As micro-circulation improves, cells start to release long-stored toxins and waste debris into the bloodstream, which, as long as the body is adequately hydrated, carries them to the organs of elimination, including the liver, kidneys, lymph, skin, lungs, and the sweat glands. The largest and most numerous sweat glands are located in the soles of the feet, and because toxins carry either a positive or negative charge, many end up in the foot bath basin, attracted there by the ions present in the footbath water.

A re-balanced bio-electrical system and or much improved micro-circulation also mean a better delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the cells. Increased oxygen levels results in higher energy throughout the body, a more alkaline cellular pH, and also causes a die-off of yeast, bacteria, and other anaerobic organisms that cannot live in the presence of oxygen. As they die off, they too are transported into the bloodstream for elimination.

As you can see the process of bio-stimulation and bio-detoxification that a series of Dr. Mary Staggs™ Ionic Detox Foot Spa’s treatments can precipitate is quite complex, but as yet there is no definitive scientific research that documents, reports accurately or interprets what materials are found in each person’s water after a session. Dr. Mary Staggs™ Detox have invested thousands of hours investigating and researching in partnership with their global team of technical advisors, therapists and doctors to design and produce their systems and as testament to this the Dr. Mary Staggs™ Ionic Detox Foot Spa has attained Medical Class IIa approval in over 20 countries and is also Included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG# 143265) making it the system of choice for healthcare providers and practitioners worldwide.
