Detox Foot Patches

Detoxify your body simply and naturally with Detox pads. You will be amazed at the results!

Based on the principles of reflexology, a 5000-year-old Japanese and Chinese healing art, Nova Detox patches help your body release toxins, making you feel great.

Nova Detox patches assist the body to detox naturally, safely and simply. Detoxification is the process of eliminating or neutralising toxins in the body.

Toxins may enter the body through water, air absorption or through the skin and are believed to cause a number of health related problems. Detoxification can help to remove these toxins.

According to Chinese medical knowledge, the human body has over 360 acupuncture points, with more than 60 acupuncture points and some 7000 nerve endings found on the soles of the feet alone. As the blood circulates to the soles of our feet the powerful ingredients of the Detox Foot Pads unleash and accelerate the release of toxins through these nerve endings and acupuncture points.

Detox foot pads contain tourmaline a crystal that is known to release far infrared heat and negative ions that is thought to stimulate reflexology points within the feet.

Acording to Chinese and Japanese medical practice it is thought that the tourmaline in detox foot pads stimulates the reflex points on the soles of the feet (see our foot reflexology chart) that relates to the part of the body that is affected or that you might be experiencing health problems with. Stimulation of the reflex and acupressure points within the foot is considered by eastern medical beliefs to stimulate the internal organs.

Don't just take our word for it, here is an article from the Sunday Mirror published on September 12, 2004 in Sandra's advice.

"My favourite form of detox works while you sleep ... Japanese Sap sheets ... draw toxins through the skin, working on reflexology points cleansing, clearing and balancing the nervous system ... When you remove the pads wash your feet as they will be sticky and gooey from the toxins extracted from your lymphatic system".

The Lymphatic System

The lymphatic system plays a vital role in the body by regulating the immune system. When the lymphatic system becomes blocked, lymphatic fluid builds up and stagnates causing the entire system to become toxic.

Detox pads help extract lymphatic fluid from the body and assist in clearing blockages, eliminating metabolic waste and toxins from the body, transporting nutrients to cells and increasing metabolic efficiency, all of which add to the reduction of excess fluid and assist weight reduction. They also have a calming effect on the nervous system and help relieve stress and tension. Frequent use of detox pads is also an effective beauty treatment for the face, improving the appearance of the skin and reducing puffiness by helping to rejuvenate collagen fibres and slowing the aging process.

Extract unwanted toxins from your body with Nova Detox pads

How does it work? Nova Detox pads work just like osmosis pressure in plants. Tree roots transport water to other branches by utilising its semi-permeable membrane. The heat from the patch causes our foot to sweat and the sweat is then absorbed by the Detox pad.

The bottom of the foot is the location where most of the nerves in our bodies end. For that reason, the patch is best used on the sole of our foot to clean out waste and toxic materials that come out in the form of sweat.

Before Use

After Use

The Detox pads have an exclusive formula, which comes in the form of a patch or pad and is attached to the skin via an adhesive sheet. After only one night of body detoxification there may be significant changes, depending on your state of wellness or homeostasis. This will be most noticeable with a change of colour and smell from the pad.

Depending on what the Detox pads are absorbing they will range in colour from black or dark brown to different shades of green and grey and will feel a bit slushy (evidence of toxins and excess moisture being released) after 8 to 12 hours of use.

Effects of the Detox pads

You should begin to achieve an overall feeling of wellness, feeling more energetic and with aches and pains subsiding. This will be due to your excess bodily toxins being naturally drained from your system.

Detox pads are thought to revitalise the body, enhance blood circulation, strengthen the immune system, improve your quality of sleep and promote better health and longevity. By placing the detox pads on the soles of your feet before bedtime, they will extract the toxins from your body during sleep.

Toxins are believed to accumulate in the feet as they pass through the bloodstream due to gravity therefore stimulation of the foot to excrete these toxins could prove beneficial to the overall health.

Reflexologists apply pressure on "reflex zones" found on the feet, hands and the ears which are said to correspond to the different parts of the body. Application is done through thumb, finger and hand technique, via manipulation. Reflex areas like the hands and feet, composed of 7200 nerve endings, are stimulated by pressure applied. Detox patches are thought to work in a similar way.

The Japanese and Chinese have long believed that health is directly related to the feet as they contain all of the nerve endings corresponding to each part of the body. It is thought that if one does not look after the feet then it can affect general health and well-being.

4 hours after applying D-Toxie, the blood circulates to the previously cold foot and the temperature of the foot rises.

The invention of the detox pads detoxifying pad has created much interest and excitement in the Japanese medical industry, receiving high recommendations from medical experts. Detoxifying pads help the body achieve its optimum state of health by improving blood circulation, increasing metabolism, activating blood cells, providing relief for joint pains, enhancing quality of sleep and expelling bodily fluids.

How many Detox pads should I use?

To ensure the even detoxification of your body, it is best to put the detox pads on the soles of both feet. The average person can take up to one month to remove the majority of toxins from their bodies. Older people or people who are ill could take longer.

We recommend using Nova detox patches for five nights a week, applying 1 patch to the sole of each foot. Continue to use detox pads over a period of weeks or months until the detox patches become lighter in colour and less sticky. When the detox pads are light gray you can stop applying them and repeat when necessary.

Detox pads can also be very effectively placed over other areas of the body where you are experiencing pain, discomfort or swelling. Some areas suggested include the shoulders, the front of the neck, the lower back, the knees, wrists and elbows and the back of the ankles.

Note: The Detox pads should not be placed over open wounds, mucous membranes, or over the eye area.

Ingredients

Nova detox patches are made up of unique natural ingredients: Tourmaline, Wood Vinegar (the fluid or sap derived from tree cells - pyroligneous acid), Dextrin and Chitosan.

Wood Vinegar

Source: Ubame Oak (Quercus phillyraeoides)

Wood vinegar is known to be able to improve our blood circulation. This improved blood circulation can lead to improvement from fatigue, headache, double vision, blood pressure, arthritis, and many other similar symptoms.

Ubame Oak, Quercus phillyraeoides, is placed in the furnace and heated up to 250 degrees Celsius. The smoke is then condensed into the vinegar. The next step is to filter the vinegar at least 5 times to obtain purity and it is then stored for 6 months. The middle layer of the vinegar is then used in the finished product.

To obtain the powder, the vinegar is then again heated, condensed and then dried with a special drying machine before a quality inspection is performed. This process yields a very high concentrated extract with an extremely high level of purity.

Chitosan

Chitosan is the result of the biomass research; it is extracted from the shell of a 'crab shrimp' and added to the Detox Pads. Chitosan products have been used now for over 30 years by water companies to trap toxins, grease, heavy metals, and oils. It is the second most plentiful fiber, after cellulose. Chitosan products are also used extensively by the medical profession due to their remarkable ability to promote wound healing, such as burns and skin inflammation.

Extensive studies have also been carried out to determine its fat binding properties. The results found it to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol by 6% and enhance the HDL (good) cholesterol by 10%. It has also been successfully marketed as a weight loss supplement.

Vitamin C

Source: Orange

It has long been known that human beings do not produce ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Vitamin C:

Increases HDL (high density lipoprotein) production. (HDL is able to help absorb fat located in plaque. In the process it changes from a disc shape to a globular form of HDL, and takes this fat to the liver to be burned.)

Decreases the production of lipoprotein (a). Our liver knows that when there is plenty of ascorbate on board, there is no need for high levels of lipoprotein (a) which is, after all, a repair factor for the cracks in blood vessel walls which come up in the absence of sufficient ascorbate.)

Down-regulates cholesterol and triglyceride production in the liver.

Lowers blood sugar and insulin requirements.

Relaxes the blood vessel walls, which lowers blood pressure when hypertension is present.

Inhibits inappropriate intravascular clot formation (the final and sometimes deadly event in cases of heart attacks and strokes).

Vegetable Fiber

Source: Corn (corn fiber)

Vegetable fibre is used to prolong the lifetime of the Detox Pads. Its fibre prevents ingredients from hardening due to humidity.

Tourmaline

Source: Tourmaline (semi precious) stone

Tourmaline is a very popular gemstone and collectors mineral. It exists in all colours, and the multicolored stones are unsurpassed in splendor. Tourmaline is both pyroelectric and piezoelectric. If a specimen is put under pressure or temperature change, it will generate an electrical charge.

Tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese word "Turamali" which was given to mixtures of unidentified gem gravels in Ceylon, now Sri Lanka. Tourmaline exerts a cleansing and liberating energy upon our entire nervous system with a clearing and stabilizing effect. Tourmaline is best known as one of the only minerals to emit far infrared heat and negative ions.

Dextrin

Source: Corn flour

Dextrin is a product of starch hydrolysis, a carbohydrate having the same general molecular structure as starch but with a smaller and less complex molecule with adhesive properties. Its presence are necessary in Detox-Pads only as a filler and to bind other ingredients together.
