Simply put, this is a passive method in which you can remove toxins and cellular debris from the body - naturally without the use of chemicals or the normal diet detox routes. 

The feet have more pores than any other area of the body - so as your feet are immersed in the negatively charged ionic water environment, as the blood circulates through your feet, the toxins are attracted out of the body and show up in the water.  Yep, it's really ALL coming out of you!  

The system is simple - apply a negative ionic charge to the water - to create a situation in which the bodies capillary system divests itself of impurities when it passes through the charged water layer.  As our blood circulates through the feet many times an hour - the 30 minute process provides ample opportunity for the detoxification process to begin.

NO - the low wattage electrical coil is not creating the 'stuff' that shows up in the water!  It's simply charging the simple salt added to the water, to create the ionic environment.

All the toxins, cellular debris, heavy metals etc that show up really are being pulled directly out of your circulatory system.   The GOOD thing about this is that your organs do not have to try to contend with the removal of this waste so get a "breather" of sorts and a chance to "rest". 

We say that is of course up to you!  We recommend initially that you may want to do a session every few days or once per week depending on your initial results.  See how your body responds to the first one and take it from there. 

Most often the answer is NO!  Other than you will sleep like a baby that night!   

Occasionally people will experience extra sensations in their feet - up to some pain.  This we've most often found when there has been a high level of trauma in the body (such as PTSD), or when the recipient is either diabetic or pre-diabetic.

The pain or sensation may last a few days but is normally gone totally by the 3rd session.

This service is, to say the least, controversial.  Some will tell you it's bunk - some that it's pure magic.

We simply believe that it has proven itself over and over to be of benefit to the body - so we make it available.

OH the "other" guys that have called US asking what salt we use -  really?! LOL .. if you're starting out and want to know - come have it done.  BUY a few sessions.  Or admit that you're doing them and have questions.  We may say no, we may give you answers.  Will I teach you what is what - NO.  That takes a clear medical / holistic care background and a large degree of intuition. 
Crysalis has been performing Ionic Foot Detox sessions for about 4 years as of Summer 2011.   Do you want a holistic healthcare provider telling you what's up or do you want someone that just bought a machine to make money?   Do they know the science behind the technology?  Contra-indications?  What's happening and what that "stuff" might be?   Your money, your choice.

Reading The Water
The Omsho Crysalis owners have lots of practical information on the WHAT THE HECK questions! 
Having the detox is a great self care step is clearing the system - but it can also be a very powerful diagostic look into your system and how your body is doing.
Systemic / Organ congestion, Leaky Gut/Colon, IBS, parasitic issues, food allergies, digestive (lack there of) issues etc all can show up in your pool.
Sometimes it's just "taking out the trash" .. sometimes it's deeper issue recognition.
We offer homeopathic therapies to help your body clear, restore and set down correct blueprints to cellular generation etc.

Please do not be offended by questions we may ask - they help with issue identification. Questions like bowel movement, frequency etc can all be as important as the symptoms you may willingly mention.   

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW the Cause or How to address any issues - Please simply just let us know "I just want the detox" and we'll keep it to ourselves (unless you change your mind).
