(Wear socks over them to prevent them falling off in the night)
These kind of detox foot pads DO work, but Not in way the packagings always claim. They claim when you pull the pads off, they're black from the toxins pulled from your body, but that's a lie. The powder inside each pad is black already because of the detoxifying charcoal in them.
However, when pulled off, the pads are very soggy and slimy. That's because the ingredients, aided in being sealed in, cause that patch of foot to sweat profusely, which is what pulls toxins out of the body.
It's Very important to note, that if you haven't done any type of detox before (or in a long time), to start these pads on a night that isn't crucial you get good sleep. Toxins like to hide in fat and bones, so as you pull the toxins out of hiding (whether through external or internal methods), they often cause considerable discomfort before you feel better.
For myself, I'm very underweight, so my toxins all congregate in my bones. The 1st night I used the pads, I woke up in the night with extreme pain in the bones of my legs, as the toxins were being pulled to my feet. I lathered my legs in Magnesium lotion which subsided the pain and was able to fall back asleep. The 2nd night, I put the Mag lotion on before bed so as to prevent the pain. By the 3rd night, I didn't need the lotion anymore because most of the toxins were already gone.
After that, as I kept using the pads, I noticed I started sleeping much better; my digestion improved a bit; and I had less headaches.
I highly recommend these detox foot patches and other like them.
