How do Detox Foot Pads work?

Using ancient Japanese medicine and reflexology Japanese detox foot patches are supposed to pull toxins from your body through your feet. Exactly how do they do it? Well it’s a two part process, the first is that Reflexology suggests that each of our major organs are reflected in our feet. Because of this you are able to pull the toxins from your body in your feet. This is a bit far fetched, but let’s give the theory the benefit of the doubt. The second reason these work is the makeup of the pad. The pad is similar to a tree trunk with hundreds of small tubes in it, designed to pull the moisture and toxins from your feet. What’s the end result? After wearing a pair of foot pads all night you wake up and they’re completely black. What caused them to go black? We can only assume the toxins that came from our body.
