Ionic Foot Bath Detox Machine - Foot Spa Bath for Home Use - Free Regain Health & Vitality Booklet & Brochure (02 Detox Machine Home&Pro with Basin)

I read a number of pros and cons about ionic foot baths before I invested in this one. Some people (including doctors) dismiss them out of hand. But I'm convinced they don't necessarily understand how these work. I decided to buy one, after doing my research, and I'm glad I did. And I'm especially glad I bought this one. I noticed that with a number of the foot baths, customers mentioned that they did not come with instructions, odd as that sounds. That is not the case with this one. In fact, there's a laminated sheet telling you everything you need to know, and a pamphlet in addition.One thing important you DO need to know about how ionic foot baths work is included: the color of the water as you use the foot bath is NOT the most important thing, and in fact some of the color comes from the array interacting with the minerals in your water, depending on how much iron, etc., is in your water.The ionizing foot bath works not primarily by removing toxins via your feet, per se; but it stimulates your body to do that for several days after you use the foot bath. What the ionic foot bath does, more specifically, is create negatively-charged electrons in the (salted) water that are absorbed into your body -- in a manner very similar to using an earthing/grounding mat (but more effectively, in my view), or by simply walking barefoot on the earth for extended periods. There's evidence from several studies and other research that this reduces free radicals and inflammation in the body -- which is why most people feel better after using the foot bath.This particular foot bath comes with two arrays (the second is a spare - the arrays are said to last for somewhere between 15-30 uses); a high-sided plastic tub; a cord that plugs into an outlet and then into a circular control panel, into which the array also plugs. The control panel is automatic: it runs for 30 minutes, the amount of time one foot-bath should last. The panel has small lights on it, which come on one at a time, successively, every five minutes -- at which times you're supposed to add an additional few pinches/ half-teaspoon of salt. The salt keeps the array properly doing what it's supposed to do. You also are given a plastic container of sea salt with a lid that both shakes and pours. So there's nothing you have to provide yourself.You get one other item as well: a large roll of big plastic bags. That's so you can slide the plastic tub into a bag and tie it off -- I use a twist tie, but the bag is long enough to tie it on itself -- before you fill it with water. (I use reasonably hot water, which the directions say is OK: choose a temperature that suits your feet, makes you feel good, remembering that it's going to take a half hour, so the water will cool down some during that time.)The roll of plastic bags and suggestion that the tub be put into a provided plastic bag is a little stroke of genius: the water gets pretty gunky with both minerals and some toxins. So when you're done, instead of having to clean the tub out, you can just throw your tubful of water into a toilet and flush it away, then take the bag off the tub and throw the bag away, and there's no additional cleaning you need to do, other than rinsing off the array with clean tap water.This particular foot bath works very well. It's automatic and needs no adjusting: just turn fill it, add some salt, plug it in, put the array in the water, put your feet in, turn it on and relax. It includes absolutely everything you need -- including the instructions that others leave out!

This is the SECOND TIME I have bought this machine from Amazon. The first time, it worked fine twice. After that, the machine would be in standby mode, I'd press the power button, it would work for all of 30 seconds, bubbles would start, the water changed color slightly, and then it would go BACK to standby and never work again.I'm so upset by this because I was looking forward to using this and it won't even work properly!

I tried this the day I received it, then I did it again 2 days later. It worked perfectly the first time, the 2nd time I did it, it did the same thing another reviewer said, it shut off after 15-20 seconds. I figured out I didnt set it up right. I added the salt before turning it on, & I didnt add enough water. So I dumped it out, & started over, adding heated up BOTTLED water to the top of the array (tap water has chemicals in it), turned it on & let it bubble, THEN I added the salt. Worked great!! The 2nd time I did it, the water was an awful black/brown/green (looked like diarrhea...sorry). The day after this time, my stomach cramped & I had a headache. I know its helping detox my body. I dont care what drs/experts say, I believe this works! I even send post pictures to my coworkers to try to gross them out. Now they want me to bring the machine to work so they can try it! LOL This is also a great price, considering spas or chiropractic offices charge $50-$70/session. It pays for itself after the 2nd time, & a plus is youre in the comfort of your own home. I highly recommend giving this a try. It is a great holistic approach to good health.

These are pictures of my first 3 foot baths. I think it is working, and helping my body detox. Be prepared, cells continue to dump toxins for 24-36 hours through normal body elimination channels. I drink as much as I can, so I spend a lot of time urinating. It's also important to keep your bowels open and your skin clean to keep the toxins moving out. If you don't keep them moving out, you will feel really sluggish and achy as those toxins try to reabsorb into your system.Also, I wish I had gotten the $99 version. The basin liners are more hassle than they are worth, and the basin itself is not worth $40. If you don't have one, you can buy one for $10-20, and still come out cheaper, with the exact same items as the $139 kit.Happy healthy detoxing!

Love it! Best pedicure ever

I received this on Tuesday and was anxious to try it out. Got it set up, say for the 30 mins and my water was dark brown! There was a slight tingle in my feet during the process, but I must say that I felt a slight difference the next day. It say to do every 3 days for the 1st 6 weeks. I should have done it Friday, but I had a lot of family in town. So I go to do another session Sunday. After I set it up, placed my feet in the tub and hit the power button to start it, it cut off after 15-20 seconds. This happened twice before I unplugged everything and plugged it in again. This time it worked.After my 2nd session, my wife was amazed and wanted to try it. So I set her up to get started. Unfortunately, she got the same results that shit it off after 10-15 seconds. We did the exact same thing I did to get it to work 5x’s to get it to work without success.The instructions at that there is a 24/7 customer service number you can call or text, so I text. Still waiting on a response. I called and it made me leave a voicemail.NOT HAPPY currently. If this changes I will update my review.The basics of the machine seems to work, it is the quality for me. I chose this one for the reviews. Hopefully, they will make it right and I can change this review.
