What it is
Bodytox Detox Foot Patches are a centuries old method for supporting your body's natural capability for the removal of waste. Using quality natural active ingredients, combined with the principles of reflexology, the patches encourage the release of waste from the body while you sleep.
How it helps
Bodytox Foot Patches contain a high quality blend of ingredients, including tourmaline (an energy crystal compound) and wood vinegar as the principal ingredients, which help to simulate the actions of reflexology.
According to medical knowledge, the human body has over three hundred and sixty acupuncture points, with sixty of these and some seven thousand nerve endings located on the soles of the feet alone.
Foot Therapy
Reflexology, as with other foot therapies, works on similar principles to Bodytox Foot Patches, based on the theory that every organ, area and system of the body is mirrored by a meridian point (acupuncture point) on the feet.
Reflexology is a complementary therapy based on the same principles as Chinese acupuncture. Pressure point massage of the feet was used in China over five thousand years ago, as well as by the Ancient Egyptians, Hopi tribes of North America and sixteenth century European medical practitioners.
Meridian points on the feet can be stimulated to encourage a smooth flow of energy to the major organs of the body, which can create a soothing, calming and cleansing effect. Many users report that this helps them achieve a better night's sleep.

About the key ingredients
Wood Vinegar – Wood vinegar has properties that have been shown to help maintain good blood circulation and support the removal of toxins.
Tourmaline – Tourmaline exerts a cleansing and liberating energy upon the entire nervous system, with a clearing and stabilising effect. Tourmaline is best known for its ability to emit far infrared heat.
Chitosan – Chitosan is produced from the shells of crustaceans. Chitosan products have been used for over thirty years by water companies to help detoxify water by trapping toxins, grease, heavy metals and oils.
Mugwort Extract – Mugwort extract is widely used to help soothe skin.
Important information
Pack size
Fourteen patches.
Directions
There are three zones the patch can be applied to: the heel, the arch or the ball of the foot. Before going to bed, remove the outer packaging and place one to two Bodytox Detox Foot Patches horizontally across the sole of each foot, pressing firmly to secure them.
For a targeted approach, apply one patch to each foot, using the reflexology chart to determine which areas of your body you would like to detox. Apply two patches to each foot for a whole body detox, or to test where the body is not naturally removing toxins effectively. If the patches come off with a mixture of stained and clear areas, stained areas indicate where your body is holding toxic material, so you would continue to target this area.
Stained areas = toxic build up
Unstained areas = toxic stable
How long to use them
Patches should be left on for between five and twelve hours, normally during sleep, and a new one should be applied the next time you go to bed. Depending on the individual, the detox may require six to fourteen days to achieve maximum results. How long depends on each user's own condition and lifestyle; generally, you would stop using the patches when they start to become patchy and lighter in colour as fewer toxins are extracted.
Once you have achieved an optimum level, the patches can be used as a maintenance programme for three days or longer if required. As a guide, we suggest using the patches at least twice a week after the initial detoxification programme, or whenever you feel in need of detoxification support.
