    On One Hand: Claims About Effectivenss Are Unsubstantiated

    There is no conclusive evidence that supports claims about the effectiveness of ionic detox foot baths. According to Spa Index, "the benefits of an ionic foot bath are hotly contested by many organizations within the scientific, medical, aesthetic and alternative health care communities."

    On the Other: Loyal Customers Vouch for the Effectiveness

    Many people claim that the Ionic detox foot bath has given them good results. The process purportedly removes harmful toxins from the body by using positive and negative ions in the water that attach to insoluble toxins released from the body. Some spas offer the service with the promise of results, and their customers vouch for the effectiveness of the process.

    Bottom Line

    Although the claims are not backed up by clinical trials or a substantial amount of proof, ionic detox foot baths can still help you relax. Since effectiveness of the process varies from person to person, you can try the ionic detox foot bath once, and see if you find any benefit.
