The original idea for the detoxing ingredients contained in the Patch came when scientists discovered that the sap of some trees has the ability to draw toxins through the skin when applied to acupuncture points on the human body.
These pads are used on the feet according to the Chinese tradition of foot reflexology - an ancient treatment whereby different areas on the soles of the feet relate to glands, organs and other parts of the body. Stimulating the nerve endings in the feet improves energy flow and circulation to problem areas of the body, clearing toxin build-up and enabling the elimination of waste. The feet are therefore the best place for effective use of the pads. The ingredients in the pads stimulate the nerve endings, draw out the toxins, and help cleanse the body.

What's in the pads?
Wood vinegars - the pads contain wood vinegar from Eucalyptus, Bamboo & Oak tree sap. The dried sap from these trees is believed to absorb toxins through the skin and has detoxing and sterilising properties.
Tourmaline - a Japanese mineral compound that naturally emits ions and Far Infra-red Rays (FIR). It improves circulation, relieves stress, increases mental alertness and strengthens the body’s immune system. Tourmaline is used in the Patch to stimulate the sole’s reflex points, and the effects are similar to those of a foot reflexology massage.
Agaricus Mushroom - harvested organically and ethically from Brazilian rainforests. The Agaricus blazei Murril mushroom is rich in special polysaccharide compounds, which assist in boosting the immune system by stimulating an immune response in the body, which builds better natural defences against viral, bacterial and parasitic invaders.

What do I do?
1. Make sure your feet are clean and dry!
2. Apply the pads before going to bed. Use one pad on each foot every night for five nights consecutively.
3. Remove the large piece of backing from the adhesive sheet.
4. Place the pad onto the centre of the adhesive sheet. The writing on the padh must face down onto the sticky surface, so that the mesh surface will be in contact with your skin.
5. Position a patch onto the sole of your foot.
6. Remove remaining strips of backing from the adhesive sheet and smooth the sheet down for greater adhesion.
7. Wear light cotton socks at night to make sure the patch doesm't come off.
8. In the morning, remove the patch and throw it away. Wash your feet if they're sticky.

How will I know if the pads are working?
The pad may feel warm after you put it on. During the night, the pad will become dark in colour as it absorbs toxins and waste from your body. It may also become sticky, depending on the level of toxins present.

How long should I use them for?
Wear the pads for at least 8 hours a night for maximum use of the ingredients. The more toxins you have in your body, the darker the pads will be. As the course continues, the pads will become lighter. You may detox in a few days, or take longer, depending on the state your body is in. When the pad remains pale, your body is cleaner!
• Do not re-use brown pads – they are dirty and unable to absorb any more waste.
• Try using a 5-day course of pads every 3 months.

What else do I need to know?
• Don't use the pads on skin that is open or sore.
• If the pad causes irritation or a rash, discontinue use.
• Don't place the pads over your eyes.
• Women should not use the pads during the first six months of pregnancy.
• It is safe to use detox pads in conjunction with prescribed medication and treatments.
