About Foot Spas

Based on ancient beliefs, the feet are renowned for being the body’s second heart and are connected to the body’s major internal organs, the nerve lines of which end at the soles of the feet. The detoxification process can target body organs like the liver and the kidneys via the feet.

A foot spa comprises of a large tub of water mixed with sea salts wherein the feet are immersed. The water in the tub will start to change color based on the internal organs being targeted. Children as young as four years of age can use this safe and natural detoxification process. A foot spa is both painless and safe, but sessions with a foot spa require the user to be properly hydrated. A foot spa is a body cleansing tool and if it does bring curative results, it should be seen as a bonus for having restored one’s good health.

Good health is the real wealth that every individual aspires to possess. An unhealthy lifestyle makes an individual more prone to diseases, which can sometimes be serious. As very few people take care about the inner cleansing of their bodies, foot spas help in weight loss and detoxification.

Detox Foot spa

As seen with increasing frequency, toxins assault the body, rise at an alarming rate and cannot be excreted effectively by the daily workings of the body. Because of their gradual build-up, the toxins cause electrolyte imbalances within the cells, prevent the absorption of nutrients and does not have capability to rid the body of waste effectively. In addition to this, the problem is further aggravated because most people do not consume the right quantity of water required by the body. This causes dehydration. Dehydration and toxicity together are responsible for almost all the congestive and degenerative diseases rampant today.

During a detox foot spa, an electrically generated ionic water process is used to stimulate the body which in turns helps in the detox process. Toxins accumulate in our bodies as a result of being exposed to the air around us as well as because of the resultant effects of things like stress, pollution, smoking, alcohol and diet. A detox foot spa treatment generally lasts for about 30 minutes.

The detox foot-spa treatment entails the feet being placed in a salt-water solution, as this is a good medium in which to produce an electric charge. The feet are the best body part for detoxification as they contain over 2,000 pores. Being the end point of the lymph system the entire blood supply is routed through the feet. The electrodes produce a charge that resonates around the feet, balancing the cells and at the same time assisting in the release of toxins. This results in a feeling of well-being. In some cases it may even relieve insomnia, increase energy levels and make you nimble.

The detox foot spa treatment works positively to re-balance the body’s energetic field and improve the supply of oxygen and other nutrients to the tissues. This treatment is contraindicated in people with pacemakers, epilepsy and if they are pregnant. However, others are encouraged to go all out and take advantage of the detox foot spa.

Viatek Ionic Energiser Foot Spa

This Viatek Ionic Energiser foot spa treatment boosts the natural immunity of the body. Although our body does have its own natural detoxification process, the excessive amount of accumulated toxins makes it difficult for the body to remove them. Because of the irregular and stressful lifestyle of the people, the need for detoxification arises and Viatek Ionic Energiser foot spa provides is one such option.

The treatment starts when you put your feet in the foot spa machine, which is filled with water and creates an electronic flow. The body, as a result, experiences a gentle bio-energetic resonance as the feet are gradually massaged. The toxins are removed through the 2000 pores in the soles of the feet after a 30 minute treatment. As the colour of the water changes to brown, the treatment relieves the symptoms of allergies, leg pain, insomnia, dry itchy feet, digestive problems, yeast infections, joint pain, bad complexion and helps enhance the energy levels of the body cells.

Although, there are more luxuries in the present times, the modern world is much more toxic world and has come at a cost of polluting the environment. In addition, it is easy to be exposed to toxic substances through smoking, alcohol, food additives, and pesticides. With these toxins being absorbed by the body, its efficiency to perform tasks is affected.

The natural detoxification process removes about 95% of toxins daily. However, the incomplete detoxification gravely leads to bad skin, cold, flu, tiredness, headache, and body odour. As such, the Viatek Ionic Energiser foot spa helps maintain balance, re-energize the body cells and cleanse the body internally.

The word spa is related with water treatment or health treatment through water and it has various related meanings like balneotherapy, spa towns or spa resorts which offer these treatment or medication or equipment. It is a best way to treat both body and mind. Basically the term Spa is derived from the name of a town in Belgium. In earlier days the illness caused by iron deficiency was treated by drinking spring water. In England the old Roman ideas of medicinal bathing were put into service in health resorts, but in the beginning they were into water drinking rather than bathing and slowly it was lost when many spas started to offer external remedies.

Spa is meant for overall well being of mind, body and spirit and done by various professional services. This differs from country to country and can be done both traditionally and through modern therapies. To revitalize the body and mind various spa therapies and treatments are being offered which include aromatherapy, hydrotherapy, herbal body glow, shirodhara therapy, Hawaiian massage, Thai massage and Balinese massage. But in many countries they even include Ayurvedic therapies.

Some of the types of Spas are, Club Spa, Cruise Ship Spa, Day Spa, Dental Spa, Destination Spa, Medical Spa, Mineral Springs Spa, Resort or Hotel Spa. Club Spa and Day Spa offer primary fitness services on day use basis through professionals. Cruise Ship Spa provides spa services when people are on the move in cruise ship. Dental Spa offer services with the supervision of a licensed dentist which will include traditional dental treatment. Destination Spa’s primary idea is to guide the individual to develop healthy habits. In olden days, this program was done as a seven day stay and it included spa services, physical fitness activities, healthful cuisine and Wellness education program. Medical Spa’s purpose is to give medical and wellness care and also in traditional method. The procedure or service includes both aesthetic or cosmetic and prevention or wellness. Mineral Springs Spa offers hydrotherapy treatments by using natural mineral, thermal or seawater. Resort or Hotel Spa is owned by resorts or hotels where they offer professional spa services, fitness etc. This is useful for the guests who visit to these places.

Even many services have luxury spas, where they have some unique features like lavender scrubs, geranium cream wraps, jasmine bath, chakra head, shoulder massage, honey citrus wrap, almond cleansing scrub, Balinese massage, lavender milk bath, tomato body wrap, the honey and sesame scrub etc. By taking a spa therapy or treatment it helps the body to cool, relax and refresh itself and mainly it relieves the mind from stress. Whatever is done must be done in a relaxed manner, so that it will help the body or mind to refresh quickly. So spa therapies and treatments are an ideal way to relax.
