How Your ion Spa® Works

The ion spa or foot spa works to dramatically remove toxins from your body through your foot (which has the largest pores of your body. The foot spa accomplishes this by energizing the water.

The ion Spa's control head delivers enough of an electrical current through the ionizor® to generate negatively charged ions. These ions** travel through the body and attach themselves to toxic substances (positively charged). After being neutralized, toxin particles are pulled through the skin and out of the body via osmosis, attracted by the highly-concentrated ion field in the ion Spa water or losen up to be removed from the body by our normal elimination processes.

When the ion Spa is set, negative ions are being produced in the water, which raises the user's pH to a more alkaline state. Why is this significant? The vast majority of people in the United States live in an acid state - their bodies contain an excess of hydrogen ions and their blood pH is lower than 7.45. Such people greatly benefit from exposure to high concentrations of negatively charged ions, bringing their bodies back into a more balanced acid-alkaline state.

**An ion (as found in the ion foot bath is a charged atom that has gained or lost an electron, thus creating a magnetic field capable of neutralizing oppositely-charged particles, in the case of the ion Spa, toxins in the human body.
