I’ve heard about iconic foot detox before but it has only been recently that I discovered a practitioner was near where I worked. I was interested in the idea of combining reflexology and detoxification, and what results that it could achieve. In essence, a iconic foot detox involves the client submerging their feet in a container of water and an gentle electrical current is passed through the water. The idea is that toxins are drawn out of the body by ions that are created by the electrical current.
It was a little unnerving placing my feet in the water. When the electrical current was turned on the water started to turn a dark brown and there was froth clinging to my feet. The practitioner told me that the color of the water was being turned brown by the toxins being removed from my body. It was all fine, he assured me, and that I would be better off for this toxins to be gone from my system. He also told that I won’t necessarily feel a major difference after the treatment as it can take several sessions to gain any benefits and the changes occur over time.
For most people, it is recommended that you have a iconic foot detox three times per week for 4 to 6 weeks. After that, you can drop down to maintenance sessions of 1 to 2 times a week. At $30 a session, this obviously can add up over time.
My sessions lased 30 minutes. After the treatment, I felt alert and well but nothing dramatic had changed. My wife said that I looked a little better than normal and the feeling lasted until the next day. I continued the sessions for another 3 weeks but gave up as I felt like I wasn’t getting much benefit from them. While I felt good after the sessions, I wasn’t seeing much change in my health problems.
