These Natural Bamboo Detox Foot Pads are absolutely incredible. THEY HAVE BECOME ONE OF MY NEW FAVOURITE PRODUCTS FOR SELF CARE.
I decided to try them for the first time ever last night. They were easy to apply. One package is the pad and the other is the tape. On one side of the pad is paper and the other feels like a soft mesh/gauze and that is what will face the middle of your foot. The adhesive is light, non irritable and sticks extremely well and I am a constant mover in my sleep. I also don't wear socks in my sleep.
After applying the pads, I felt a little burning sensation, nothing that would force me to take it off but they were warm against my feet, along the likes of A535 when first applied. After a few minutes, My feet felt like they were on fire (that's a bit of an exaggeration) but I felt intense heat coming off my foot and I got very hot (SIMILAR TO A HOT FLASH). I went to sleep. I could still feel the burning sensation so I knew they were working but not enough for me to take them off, or disrupt my sleep and at one point it stopped and I felt itchiness intermittently. Early in the morning I felt my feet itchier than ever so I knew it was probably time to take them off as my instinct told me it was the toxins against my feet that was itching them, so I woke up and leaned over and took the pads off.
Nothing is visible from the outside of the pad, You have to peel them off and turn them over.
I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT!
When I peeled off the foot pads, I almost vomited. Seriously. I was so grossed out. I didn't even want to photograph it for the review because it was just disgusting -the toxins we have in our body. The first thought that came to mind was metals.. These pads detoxed metals from my body. I don't know why I felt that, it just felt like that. THE FOOT PADS WERE BLACK. BLACK OOZY, GROSS AND SICKENING TO LOOK AT. I threw them out immediately. I was a little startled but very impressed though because they actually worked!
I am not a drinker, I don't do drugs, I don't even eat horrible food, but I know I have toxins in my body, we all do. I feel fatigued some time. I do drink coffee, I eat a lot of chocolate.
THE AFTER EFFECT
After I removed the foot pads, my feet felt a little itchy but not much. I jumped in the shower right away as again, my instinct was to wash the bottom of my feet. They just felt gross but I on the other hand felt really light. To be honest. I felt alive, alert and lighter. My feet did also felt lighter, cleansed, I can't explain it. They just felt internally clean, they even looked different, healthier. I was so impressed. Never would I have imagined. The bamboo inside is a little brownish so for it to turn black and detox my body through my feet, was pretty impressive. I am not exaggerating when I say I felt it. I felt detoxified and my feet seemed really pain free, flexible and my legs also felt pain free. I did feel absolutely pain free.
I am someone who is extremely in tune with her body. Extremely and I am a homeopathic user as well as an herbalist user as in basil, lavender, rosemary etc.. I also use a lot of essential oils and so these being bamboo and having the effect they did, was incredible!
I don't know why but my instinct keeps telling me they were detoxing METALS from my body and I did feel more energy today. SO I DID SOME RESEARCH. DETOX FOOD PADS TURN DIFFERENT COLOURS DEPENDING ON THE PART OF YOUR BODY THEY ARE DETOXIFYING. MINE WERE BLACK. BLACK MEANS LIVER AND METALS. THIS WAS MIND BLOWING AS My mother died from end phase liver disease. When I go to my homeopathic doctor, she was always treating my liver, and adrenal. I have always had issues with my liver and just these past two days, I've had side pain. So when I thought about the black detox foot pads- I became very conscious. Brown means tobacco and usually gall bladder. Different colours mean different things.
I should have drank more water to flush out the toxins more because by mid day I was feeling a little lethargic because I hadn't followed through with drinking a lot of water today to continue the flush, So I advise if doing this, drinking a lot of water the next day as you will feel detoxed but off. Kind of like when you go for a massage.
NOTE:
It is advised to wash your feet first. They need to be clean and dried completely before applying the foot pads. NO LOTION or the pads won't stay on properly.
I highly recommend these. I am going to try today again if I can, to see what the difference between yesterdays and todays was. I will keep you updated. I think these can be used once a week or once a month. Every day would be a waste I think.
CONS
NONE.. but if you don't like feeling uncomfortable, the light burning/warmth and the itching may bother you.
ALSO -IF YOU PLACE THE PAD VERTICALLY ON YOUR FOOT, THE PATCH WILL NOT STICK AS THERE IS NOT ENOUGH TAPE. THE TINY FOOT PADS MUST BE PLACED HORIZONTALLY ON YOUR FOOT AND THE STICKY PATCH OVER TOP. IT WILL NOT STAY ON OTHERWISE. I ACCIDENTALLY PUT IT ON VERTICALLY MY SECOND TIME BUT WAS TOO LAZY TO CHANGE IT, AND THAT FOOT PATCH DID NOT STAY STUCK ON, BUT THE OTHER ONE DID.
TO ADD, IF YOU ARE WANTING TO BE MORE CONSCIOUS OF YOUR HEALTH, THEN I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT REGULARLY. THEY WILL NOW BECOME PART OF MY SELF CARE ROUTINE ONCE A WEEK. JUST TO KEEP MY HEALTH IN CHECK. IT IS VERY VITAL TO KNOW THE PARTS OF YOUR BODY THAT ARE CARRYING THE MOST TOXINS, IT COULD SAVE YOU A VERY DELAYED TRIP TO A DOCTOR OR WORSE, PROBLEMATIC HEALTH ISSUES.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE!!
