HISTORY

In 15th century Japan, alternative medicine became increasingly popular. This is when detox foot pads. were developed. People used them mainly “to treat acute illness, to regenerate energy and prevent recurrences and lingering debility,” and simply eliminate foot odor, according to leading Japanese manufacturer Kenrico. As we seek answers our doctors don’t have to medical questions, we can reach beyond our countries’ borders and open our minds to age-old wisdom.

1. Nature’s Timeless Remedies

   • Natural remedies are all based on the belief that health exists when there is optimal circulation. For every ailment, there is a cure found in nature. Just as blocking a river with a damn creates buildup of harmful amounts of algae, the human body needs circulation. When the energy and blood flows properly, the organs are healthy and toned, and capable of fighting off infection and disease. Regularly detoxifying the body promotes health. Nature cleans itself with natural disasters, and we clean our bodies internally

   Effectiveness of Detox Foot Pads

   • Detox foot pads contain herbs and natural ingredients, which vary from brand to brand. By lacing the pads on your feet overnight, the herbs draw toxins out of your body through your feet. Pull the pads off in the morning and they have turned dark brown, a marked difference from the original pristine white. The feet contain more than 60 acupuncture points, and the foot is considered to be a second heart in acupuncture, because its points relate to all of the body’s organs. Foot therapy originated in China more than 2,000 years ago. Detox foot pads are a modern equivalent of an ancient technique based on this finding that treating the feet stimulates particular organs as well as overall health.

   Research on Detox Foot Pads

   • Not all companies include verifiable research with their products. For the most part, you have to read about the individual ingredients and look for research. Leading Japanese manufacturer Kenrico is one brand that stands out for its thoroughness. It posts detailed studies exhibiting how it conducted its research and the results, which confirm detox foot pads relieve symptoms of diabetes. Dr. Kuzman and Dr. Suzuki of the Division of Hematology/Oncology/Endocrinology/Diabetes, Midwest Medical Center, Chicago, researched the success of Kenrico detox foot pads and their findings, quoted on the Spring Mountain Naturals website, show “over a 50% improvement in both glucose and fat levels and significant improvement from diabetes.”
