Aqua Detox is a complementary therapy unit and its manufacturers claim that its use and benefits are based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine principles of energy flow around the body.  The individual places their feet into the foot bowl which contains warm salt water and a small, gentle charge is passed through the water in order to ionise it.  The purpose of this is to stimulate the body’s own regenerative energy.

It is recommended that the unit is used for two times in the first three weeks and then one or two sessions a month thereafter.  It is not painful and feels like a slight tingling sensation to the feet.

It is not suitable for someone who is pregnant, someone with a pacemaker or epilepsy or someone who has had a kidney transplant or is on immune suppressants.
