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

The Aqua Detox unit produces a frequency (from an electrode placed in the water called an array) that delivers a small charge into a treatment bowl of saline (salt) solution in which the feet are placed. This small charge ionises the water in the bowl and travels around the body. The cells are given a small negative charge which allows the body to increase its oxygen supply to all the body's organs and kick-start any processes that the body may not be doing effectively due to tiredness, poor diet or stress. Every 30 seconds the polarity of this small charge is changes between positive to negative.

Treatments are generally given through the feet. There are approximately 2000 pores in each foot which makes this a convenient and efficient method to clean and purify your body. For babies, children and the elderly treatment can take place in the bath.

So, relax with your feet immersed in a foot bath for 30 minutes. The colour of the water will change during treatment and can be anything from orange, brown, green and even blue! This is due to the ionisation process and does not relate to a detoxification process taking place in the treatment bowl.

Six to eight treatments are recommended initially. Generally twice a week for a month. This provides a good initial self-detox, and after this time it is dependant on how healthy you feel as to the number of treatments you wish to continue with. However, we should advise that the maximum use should not exceed once every two days. For those suffering from illness, the frequency of treatments should be reduced as you body may go into a 'healing crisis' after each self-detox. During this time you may feel tired and lethargic as the body uses energy to heal itself or you could, on the other hand, experience a feeling of increased energy and well-being.

The benefits are numerous and many have had positive results in relation to illnesses. However, we are all unique so an Aqua Detox treatments will never the same for any two people with comparative symptoms.

It is suitable for everyone from babies to the elderly, EXCEPT those with pacemakers, epilepsy and pregnant women (if you inadvertently have a treatment whilst pregnant, there is no cause for concern, however we would advise against any future treatments during pregnancy). Always check with your doctor if you have any doubts about having a treatment.

The unit will not remove any medication from your body. It stimulates the body to re-balance and so allows it to perform its natural functions more effectively. The body will not excrete any vitamins, minerals, nutrients or medications that are beneficial to it. However, if you are worried - take your medication after the treatment.

Received her first treatment during her second bout of shingles. One treatment in which water turned a greenish yellow colour. Very tired for 3/4 hours after treatment and then energised and feeling better for a week to 10 days. She has not continued treatment.

In the process of third dose of chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. Side affects of chemotherapy meant she spent the day after the therapy at home feeling drained and sleeping. After first treatment had more energy than usual. After second was able to carry on life almost as usual after chemotherapy. Water turned a range of colours during her five treatments from very dark orange, black to light orange.

She had a treatment at a therapy day demonstrating the unit. As a result she felt energised and on "top of the world" for several weeks. Her husband came for a treatment "wanting some of what she had".

Very bad circulation - cold hands and feet (fingers are white in colour). Treatment changes tissue colour to a more normal fleshy colour and though hands and feet still cold they are less so.

Skin colour around scars and wounds was darker. After 2 treatments found that skin colour had faded and energy levels were higher. Water colour tends to be orange.
