Do you often wish you had more energy? Do you have general feelings of malaise? Do you ever feel like there is something holding you down? If so, an alternative medicine option might be the solution for you.

One of the newer options in alternative medicine is ion therapy for natural detoxification. We are exposed to thousands of different chemicals, toxins and carcinogens on a daily basis. These chemicals build up in our bodies, slow down our natural body processes and affect our daily activity. Water and air pollutants are just a few of the toxins to worry about, shampoo, hairspray, lotions, Teflon pans, aspartame, MSG and pesticides are just a few of the detrimental chemicals being inhaled or ingested on a daily basis.

These toxins have been connected with various diseases and medical conditions, and many of these chemicals are carcinogenic at the very least. Parkinson's, Autism, Alzheimer's, kidney disease, and heart disease have all been linked to the presence of toxic chemicals in the body.

Generally, the body rids itself of these chemicals by way of its natural metabolism, as well as sweat. Unfortunately, our exposure to a multitude of different chemicals is at an all time high, and our bodies are unable to keep up without some sort of facilitator.

This is where ion therapy comes into effect. It is a simple therapy that takes no more than 30 minutes. You simply place your feet in an ionic footbath and let the charged particles do their work. Many alternative medicine spas offer this service at a minimal fee per session. You can also purchase health packages that include this powerful treatment.

Ion therapy works very simply with the body's natural response unlike a surgical laser. Your bathwater is ionized, and sends a very small, charged current through your body. This releases positively charged ions into your body, and they are able to overtake the negatively charged toxins and flush them out through the billions of pores on your feet. Many places with high densities of toxins are the liver and kidneys. You can even watch the color of your bathwater change as your system is flushed clean.
