I have no idea what this is and what it is for. Do you mean a Sitz bath?

No, they are talking about these foot bath or patch systems that supposedly not only "flush toxins" out of your body, but allow you to diagnose every type of illness known (and unknown) to man by the color of the water or pad. A total scam, and with no scientific basis! Don't waste your money.

Thanks for your reply.

Friends and I did this in a high end salon a little bit ago, and it seems legit until you actually do it and then it just SCREAMS hokey. Plus when you're doing it they pushed really hard to get you to buy a series (hundreds of bucks) because it "needs" to be done more than once to work.

You're supposed to be able to tell what kind of toxins you're releasing into the ionic bath by the color the water turns, and all of ours turned the same color-ish. (Of course the color for the highest levels of toxins) It just seemed like a setup.

Anyone heard of those Kinoki foot pads? I ordered there samples for $1 + shipping and tried them out ahile back. Now they sell them at pharmacies at the checkout line. You put them on your feet and then go to sleep and when you wake up the pads are full of yuck. Supposedly, after doing this a few nights the pads no longer become dirty after wearing them. Anyone tried it or think it's legit?

On another side note, it is supposed to be really good to get one of those underwater foot massagers and put some epsom salts in the water or in a bath tub. It is supposed to draw toxins from the body and relaxes the muscles.

I found this article that talks about it.

When magnesium sulfate is absorbed through the skin, such as
in a bath, it draws toxins from the body, sedates the nervous
system, reduces swelling, relaxes muscles, is a natural
emollient, exfoliator, and much more.


Relaxing and sedative bath: Soak in warm water and 2 cups of epsom salt.
Face cleaner: To clean your face at night, mix a half-teaspoon of epsom salt with your regular cleansing cream. Just massage into skin and rinse with cold water.
Homemade skin mask: Apply the mask to damp skin. For normal to oily skin, mix 1 tablespoon of cognac, 1 egg, 1/4 cup of non-fat dry milk, the juice of 1 lemon, and a half-teaspoon of epsom salt. For normal to dry skin, mix 1/4 cup of grated carrot, 1 1/2 teaspoons of mayonnaise and a half-teaspoon of epsom salt.
Foot soak: Soothe aches, remove odors and soften rough skin with a foot soak. Add 1/2 cup of epsom salt to a large pan of warm water. Soak feet for as long as it feels right. Rinse and dry.
Skin exfoliator: Massage handfuls of epsom salt over your wet skin, starting with your feet and continuing up towards the face. Have a bath to rinse.
Remove excess oil from hair: Epsom salt soaks up excess oil from hair. Add 9 tablespoons of epsom salt to 1/2 cup of oily hair shampoo. Apply one tablespoon of the liquid to your hair when it is dry; rinse with cold water. Pour lemon juice or organic apple cider vinegar through the hair, leave on for 5-10 minutes, and then rinse.
Remove hairspray: Combine 1 gallon of water, 1 cup of lemon juice, and 1 cup epsom salt. Combine, cover and let set for 24 hours. The next day, pour the mixture into your dry hair and let it sit for 20 minutes. Then shampoo as normal.
Hair volumizer: Combine equal parts of deep conditioner and epsom salt. Warm in a pan. Work the warm mixture through your hair and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse.
Soak sprains and bruises: Epsom salt will reduce the swelling of sprains and bruises. Add 2 cups epsom salt to a warm bath, and soak. Splinter remover: Soak in epsom salt, it will draw out the splinter.
