What is Ion Therapy?



The world is always looking for the next great miracle to help balance our bodies, detoxify us, and help us recover quickly. People rave about certain vitamin supplements, sauna sessions, controlled diets, or even pharmaceutical drugs; but none are as effective as an ion therapy system.
Ionic therapy employs negative ions to draw the abundance of toxins out of your body, helping to facilitate your body’s natural homeostasis. Everything you eat, breath, and touch probably has some harmful toxins that can negatively affect your health and well-being. After years of ingesting numerous types of toxins, people can become extremely fatigued and suffer from a long list of issues. Ion therapy reverses the effects of toxins on your body, leaving you fresh, energetic, and hopefully pain-free. Everything from joint pain to depression can be treated with an ion therapy system.
There are three types of ion therapy systems, one emitting ions through light, the second releasing negatively charged molecules into the air, and the third using an electrically charged footbath. The footbath method is becoming more popular because the ions detoxify the body by expelling the toxins from the thousands of pores on the feet. Instead of driving to a local spa and sitting in a sweltering hot sauna, people can simply dip their feet into a footbath for a few minutes and achieve the same level of detoxification.
What Ion Therapy Can Do
·       Detoxification: The main purpose is to detoxify the body, which often results in improvements in multiple areas of a person’s body including physical and mental health. Your body’s natural detoxification process releases the toxins through your pores, usually induced by sweating. Now it can be done while you are sitting at work or at home with a footbath or air conditioning machine.
·       Chronic Fatigue and Low Energy: Toxins can drain the energy out of your body and is often the culprit for people with chronic fatigue. If you are constantly tired at work and never feel energetic, ion therapy could help you by drawing toxins from your body, making you feel more energized and capable of taking on the day’s challenges.
·       Mild Depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Ion therapy has been known to help reduce the effects of SAD, resulting in positive mood changes and decreased depression.
·       Joint Pain Relief: Knees, hips, wrists, or whatever it is that is constantly bothering you, can all be at least slightly relieved by eliminating the bad toxins from your body.
·       Headaches: Even though the pores expelling the toxins are way down on your feet, ion therapy can make a big difference if you are suffering from headaches. Many headaches are caused by the ingestion of toxins in your diet or the air and will linger around until your body is able to detoxify. You can speed that process up through a footbath or some ion light therapy and get back to your daily pain-free life.
