 The Revolutionary Way to REBALANCE and DETOX the body
Suitable for people of all ages, from children to the elderly.

Introduction:

Modern day living, stress and diet introduce toxins into your body that cause an electrical imbalance within your cells, which can affect major organs.  It is the natural function of your cells to absorb nutrients and excrete waste products, and any imbalance can prevent the cells from performing this function efficiently.

Why Is It Important To Detox?

It is a well-known fact that we are what we eat, and that a healthy diet and lifestyle are key to maintaining good health. The fast pace of modern life means that many people are eating on the run, grabbing convenience and ready-prepared foods which are full of chemicals, pesticides and preservatives that are lacking in nutrients and can be harmful to the body.

The increase of both smoking and drinking alcohol - sometimes to combat stress also places the body and its possibly compromised systems under further pressure, ever-increasing sources of stress and worry, both have harmful effects on the body.

As if that were not enough, chemicals and pollutants from the atmosphere around us also affect us. More people (especially children) than ever before are developing allergies and sensitivities because of toxic overloading of the body and its systems - the immune system and the lymphatic system, resulting in allergic responses.

What you take out of your body is just as important for your health as what you put into it. Traditionally, detoxing meant adopting one or more of the following:-

Restrictive diets, unpleasant detox drinks, sweating it out at the gym or sauna.

Not only can these methods often be boring and unpleasant, they can also prove difficult to maintain and are unlikely to be adopted long term, which is what is required for full benefit to be gained.

Happily, the Aqua Detox system now provides a pleasant and relaxing way for the body to achieve detoxification. The aim is to restore function within the organs of elimination: the liver, kidneys, bowels, lungs, skin and lymphatic.

How Does It Work?

Your feet are placed in the foot spa, which contains clean, warm water and a tiny amount of salt to act as a conductor. The water in the foot spa becomes an extension of the water in the body, from which it is separated by the thin membrane of the skin, in the feet.

An electrical coil called an array produces an electrolytic flow in the water, which creates a bio-energetic field, corresponding to that of your body, this takes 30 minutes, and the body begins to re-balance. Bio-Energetic stimulation has a positive effect on the micro circulation of the body, as does the exchange of negative ions produced by the salt solution in the water. Stimulating the cells and organs to detoxify, in a gentle non-invasive way.

Our feet have approximately 2000 pores on each foot, making them an efficient and convenient route for the body to shed its toxins. The pores in the feet allow the toxins to be passed from the body into the water in the spa.

The change in colour of the water in the spa, is partially due to what chemicals are already in the water, and indicates the level of toxins the body has shed.

How Long Does It Take?

Treatment time is 30 minutes for adults, 15 minutes for children, 10 minutes for babies.

A first appointment will take 45 minutes - 1 hour, which includes a health consultation and 30 minutes of treatment.

Allow 45 minutes for subsequent sessions, with 30 minutes of treatment, 15 minutes to clean up, short foot massage and feedback.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Each person is different and it will depend upon your previous and current state of health, hence it is impossible to predict.

Generally, if you are in a state of relatively good health, 6 treatments in a one month period would be recommended to provide a good initial detox of the body and its systems. Some people may feel the benefits after just one session whereas for others it may take 5 or 6 for them to feel any different.

If your current level of health is lower than you would expect it to be, if you are a long-term heavy drinker or smoker, or are recovering from an operation, then up to 16 treatments may be necessary to get maximised benefits.  Results are specific for each person and cannot be compared to anyone else’s.

Will I Need Regular Or follow-up Treatments?

Again, everyone is different. Our health is maintained if our body is able to eliminate toxins faster than it accumulates them. If we introduce more toxins than our body can process and eliminate we re-introduce a toxic state. The need for regular/follow-up treatments will depend on how successfully you can adopt changes to diet, exercise, smoking, and drinking and stress levels. You will be the best judge as to how often you should have a treatment as you are the best judge of your own body!

AQUA DE -TOX  After Care.

After Care Advice

Most people will feel relaxed and then energised, but this can vary from treatment to treatment and from person to person depending on their toxicity. Sometimes, if one’s lifestyle is perhaps not as healthy as it should be and toxins and stress are at a high level, there could be a healing crisis.  The following symptoms may be experienced in some cases.

  • Slight nausea and or/giddiness
  • Feelings of tiredness.
  • Headache
  • Increased passing of urine dark and strong smelling.
  • Loose Stools
  • Some people may feel a little weepy.
  • Some people may find that with subsequent treatments, they may get a little spotty.      Although not pleasant it should be noted that this is another good sign that the body is releasing toxins.

Please note that everybody does not experience these symptoms, if they do occur, they will soon pass. (Maximum time would be 24 hours). It is a welcome sign, that stress and toxins are being dispersed, and is really a case of feeling worse before you feel a great deal better.

Other after care advice:-

It is advisable to refrain from certain activities after an AQUA DE-TOX   

E.G:  Very strenuous exercise; very hot baths/showers (warm water only) Saunas.

Try not to have a large or heavy meal after a treatment. Maximum beneficial effects will be achieved if only a light meal is taken.

 It is very important to drink plenty of fluids (water/mineral water/ herbal tea) in order to help flush out the toxins. Remember when replacing fluids it is best to avoid caffeinated drinks (tea/coffee) and alcohol, as these will simply replace the toxins!

Relax!

Following treatment, whenever possible.
