If you’re new to ionic footbaths, you might be wondering how to get started. Don’t worry — the process is simple, relaxing, and easy to incorporate into your wellness routine. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you make the most of your detox session.
🧼 Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
- Your Ionic Renewal or compatible detox system
- A clean foot tub or basin
- An array (the device that sits in the water and generates ions)
- A power supply and cables
- Optional: Himalayan salt, tub liners, or cleaning brushes
💧 Step 2: Prepare the Footbath
- Fill the foot tub with warm water, enough to cover your ankles.
- If recommended, add a small scoop of Himalayan salt to increase conductivity.
- Insert a tub liner for easy cleanup (optional but helpful).
⚡ Step 3: Set Up the System
- Connect the array to the machine using the provided cable.
- Plug in the power supply and switch the unit on.
- Place the array into the water, ensuring it’s fully submerged.
- Adjust the settings on the machine (time, intensity, or program cycle, depending on your model).
💡 If your system includes RIFE Handgrips or Wristbands, connect them before starting and ensure they’re comfortably in contact with your skin.
🦶 Step 4: Begin Your Detox Session
Sit back, relax, and let the session run (usually 20–30 minutes). During this time, the water may change color — this is a result of the ionic interaction between the water, array, and your body. It’s normal and part of the process.
🧽 Step 5: Aftercare and Cleaning
Once the session is complete:
- Remove your feet and pat them dry
- Turn off and unplug the unit
- Discard the water and liner
- Rinse and clean the array and tub using a cleaning brush and warm water
- Store everything in a dry, safe place
🧘 Tips for Best Results
- Stay hydrated before and after your session
- Use the system 2–3 times a week for optimal wellness
- Combine with other self-care routines like healthy eating and sleep
- Keep your equipment clean and maintained
