How do Detox pads remove toxins from my body?

To understand how Detox pads work, we must first understand some fascinating facts about the human body. Traditional oriental medicine has long held the knowledge that distributed throughout the body are acupuncture points called meridians. Meridians act as channels that link various parts and organs of the human body and are directly connected to the function of circulatory and lymphatic systems of the body. It is also known that the human feet have a large concentration of meridians. Proper stimulation of these points in the feet explains why one feels very relaxed and energetic after a good feet reflexology massage. Through the combined action of wood vinegar, far infrared and minus ion emissions, the meridians are stimulated. This stimulation results in the breakdown of water and waste molecules that frees blockages in the circulatory and lymphatic system allowing blood to flow freely and waste to enter the bloodstream readily for elimination.
