Detoxification is the process of removing toxic elements like heavy metals, mold, yeast, fungus, pesticides, preservatives and other chemicals from the body.
Detoxification is the first step in any treatment plan when fighting chronic disease and striving to improve overall health.
Your feet will be placed in a warm water foot soak, using sea salt & direct current; which breaks the water into positively charged hydrogen ions and oxygen gas. The positive ions bond to the negatively charged ions that are attached to toxins and then pulled and released though your feet.
BENEFITS
• Improved immune system

• Increased energy & focus

The business provided the following response:
"IV vitamin hydration and ionic foot detoxification is based on a functional medicine and alternative medicine approach. The results are individualized reported results from actual clients/patients. At this time I am comfortable with my website; my site was reviewed by other colleagues who operate similar businesses.
