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.
So far, the miracle foot pad is based on Kinoki wood or Japanese cedar. I am not sure that will be a miracle product.
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.
79.00 each pad
Everybody has a different body, and so we all have different toxins in us so maybe your detox pads are gray because you had a different toxin in your body besides someone else who had a brown detox pad. Don't worry because yours is gray. It says on the Kinoki Foot pad detox things that it will turn brown OR gray, so it is suppose to do that.
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.
These kinds of detox claim to be treatments to a problem that does not exist. These kinds or products, like Kinoki foot pads, are scams. They claim that toxins accumulate in the feet and need to be removed. This is a lie. The chemicals in the pads, however, are toxic and can get into the body through the feet. This is clearly not a treatment of any kind. No detox of any kind is necessary. This kind of treatment is considered an alternative medicine.
they are foot pads that are suppose to draw out toxins from your body. (I don't believe it)
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.
i am in the Windsor area, where can i get these Mudoku detox foot pads.
Don't buy them. They have been proven not to work by several studies.
The detox foot bath consists of electrodes to create both negatively and positively charged ions in warm water to rinse out and balance the body's electric cells. Detox Foot Bath really gives a luxury sensation to legs if the legs are cramped up inside socks, boots and wooly slippers. Foot detox also helps to filter toxin from body which helps in reducing headaches, poor circulation, constipation and other medical problems. For more information visit http://my-foot-detox.com/
