Detox Foot Patch

Looks like somebody needs to cut back on the cappucinos! |
Last night I tried some detox foot patches my colleague Paul Harper gave me. The patches are from Japan, a bit bigger than a business card, and filled with herbs and minerals that remove heavy metals (like mercury and lead) from your body. They are used on the foot because heavy metals settle in our feet through gravity.
A vetran of reflexology, I thought this would be an easy and relaxing way to detox specific areas of my body - just stick them to your feet and crawl into bed! And similar to reflexology, because I had placed the patch in the middle of the sole of my foot, I could feel it working on the organs in the center of my body, especially my lungs and stomach. (although I figured the heavy dinner I had contributed to the churnings in my stomach!)
When I woke up in the morning I felt a slight burning sensation on the bottom of my feet, which Paul says are the heavy metals leaving the body. When I took off the patches, they were a greyish brown and had a minty smell to them. Not too bad for a first time foot detoxer since some people’s patches come off black!
Although not a replacement for more in-depth detox programs, I will definitely use the foot patches again.
