they don't work they turn colors from sweat sp when you don't sweat..... take one and put a little water on in and it turns brown. I got them looked at the and new there was no way. cover any part of the body and it will sweat when you sleep so that's how they work. they can be used on a 1 week old and you will get the same result.
If a person walks around with the Kinoki pads on, there is a chance that toxins will enter the body again through the pads and bottom of the feet. The pads will eventually break open, causing staining to other footwear or the floor.
79.00 each pad
So far, the miracle foot pad is based on Kinoki wood or Japanese cedar. I am not sure that will be a miracle product.
they are foot pads that are suppose to draw out toxins from your body. (I don't believe it)
Don't buy them. They have been proven not to work by several studies.
A search for Kinoki on www.FDA.gov yields no hits, period. On March 20, 2008, FDA issued an import alert banning importation of Kinoki Detox Foot Pads, manufactured by Shanghai Huazhou PSA Products Co, Ltd, because the products are unapproved medical devices.
Kinoki foot pads are actually a hoax, anyway; they turn brown/black due to oxygen exposure, not "body toxins." But I doubt they'd cause allergic reactions.
Audio Technica baks black pads and grey pads. They do not make white pads
(* The brand name product from Kinoki are foot pads that are advertised as 'cleaning the body" by absorbing body impurities through the feet.)Anyone can use them, but they don't work, just turn colors from sweat.Take one and put a little water on in and it turns brown. Cover any part of the body and it will sweat when you sleep, so that's how they "work." They can be used on a 1-week-old and you will get the same result.
if you're talking about the Kinoki foot pads that they advertise on TV, don't fall for it. Those foot pads that supposedly are rid your body of toxins are a complete scam. They conducted an experiment with them and it revealed that if the pads are held next to ANY warm surface- ranging from your feet even to a tea kettle- they will turn brown or black, making you think that the pad is getting rid of the toxins. So when they say on the commercial that you can keep ordering more pads until you no longer have toxins being released from your body, you just end up shelling out hundreds of dollars a month for no reason because the pads will never stop changing color. DON'T FALL FOR IT!!
You can buy them at CVS. They are a different brand....but same concept. They are called Body Pure detox foot pads. As of now buying them in the store is more expensive than buying them online. You can buy them on the Kinki website and I found them on Ebay. They are cheaper on eBay if you are buying BULK, like for you and your spouse and a friend. If you just want them for yourself I suggest buying them on the kinoki website.
Take out the pads and soak them in white vinigar. Alkaline in the pads and white vinger have a chemical reaction to each other after the pads have soaked for a while, depemnding on how much alkaline needs removed take the pads out and either rinse them as thouroughly as you can or reinstall them and run your pump only for a few hours as you would for new installation.
