As far as I can tell, there doesn't appear to be any legitimate research done on this product, but it is unlikely that they are effective, as is typical when something has this much marketing behind it and no formal research.
Their website just cites testimonials, one of which references an article in the Journal of Immunity, which despite its name is not an actual medical journal, and is actually another compilation of testimonials.
A little research into how the body detoxifies (the liver) will tell you that the whole idea of removing "toxins," "parasites," and even "cellulite" from the bottom of the feet is completely false. The surface of the pad picks up dead skin and dirt, and a chemical on the pad ensures the color. Repeated use of this pad will clean your feet, but nothing else. It is known that when water is applied to the pad, it will turn brown. It may be only affective is slowly hindering the sweat glands in the feet over time. It would be an explanation for the lightening each day.
no. they're a scam. if you want to detox go on a detox diet
You put them on your feet over night, underneath your socks. I highly recommend that you view the related questions "Do Kinoki detox foot pads work?". I have added a link below.
You can find them at Walgreen's if you have one, that's where I got mine and they seem to work! or I had really dirty feet.
NO!The foot detox pads are genuine, and they work well at removing toxins, poisons, and heavy metals from the body.
Detox foot pads don't work. The color is from chemicals ingredients breaking down.
Well, I have recently used those Japanese formulated Kinoki Detox foot pads, and they work, so I would suggest trying those. They are about $20 US Dollars and you can find them at stores like Walgreens. These pads do indeed work quite well for their intended purpose. What you need to realize, however, is that their intended purpose is to separate gullible fools from their money.
Don't buy them. They have been proven not to work by several studies.
Detox Pad (Patch) works just like the osmosis pressure in a plant. Tree roots transport water to other branches utilizing its semi-permeable membrane. The heat from the Detox Pad (Patch) helps absorb perspiration from the bottom of our foot.The bottom of the foot is the location where most of the nerves in our body end. Therefore, the Detox Pad is best used on the sole of the foot to clean out waste and toxic materialsthat are expelled in the form of sweat.
(* 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.
The detox foot baths have been called scams. Many reviews have been written that say that detox foot baths do nothing. The water turns color which makes the customer think something is happening when it is not.
