FAQs

What is the colour change in the water?

During the course of your Ion Spa session, discolouration will occur and bits of foreign matter may appear as sediment . The water colour change in the foot spa is caused by the ionization process, user's skin, any salt added to the water, the age of the array, the acidity of the user and the chemical impurities of the water in your geographic area. While it is tempting to focus on this we like to place emphasis on the rebalancing effects it causes.

How often should I get a treatment?

We normally say try 3-4 treatments in a fortnight and go to one a week for a month and gauge yourself from there.

 What are ION’s?
ION’s are atoms or molecules that have either a negative or positive charge. These are called cations or anions. They carry electrical charge around our body.

How do they affect me?
ION’s regulate all functions of your body, positive ions cause breakdown and disruption in function, whist negative ION’s promote new cell growth and strengthen functions. It is a balance of positive and negative that keeps you healthy.

Are ION’s always there and in the correct balance?
ION’s are always there, however the balance can be upset causing dis-ease within the body. This can sometimes be noticed with symptoms that include lack of energy, interrupted sleeping patterns, low immune system. It is when the positive ions buildup that this happens. (Positive ions cause breakdown of bodily cells affecting functions and processes within the body)

How does the balance of ION’s get ‘out of balance’?
The build up of cations (positive ions) causes our body to deteriorate through the degeneration of cells. People with busy lifestyles usually have a build up of positive Ions due to not taking time out for the negative Ions to restore or refill within the body.

What happens when the balance is out?
Once our body has an excess of positive ION’s we usually start by feeling run down or low on energy due to our cells breaking down and slowly stopping or slowing their function. This can then lead into interrupted sleep, lowered immune system and slowing of natural bodily processes and defenses. Over a long period this can also lead into illness.

What can I do re-fill these negative ION’s?
Negative ION’s are found in the atmosphere, you can over long periods rebuild your negative ION’s by spending time around water falls, forests, the beach, or thunder storms. These conditions create the perfect environment for the production of Negative ION’s naturally within the atmosphere. For those that don’t have weeks to spend around these environments there are now other alternatives.

So why are ION’s getting all this attention now?
Negative ION’s have been known to have positive effects on health since the early 20th Century when research first began, however they have been used in ancient medicines for hundreds of years. As technology advances so too does ability to better research and as this has happens there is more information and study results available to prove the benefits of negative ION’s. So, as there is more information available this means more people see the information which creates awareness, further research and leads to ION’s being incorporated into health products.

What does an ion cleanse/ ION SPA session involve?
A session is very simple, you place your feet into a bowl of water into which an electrode is placed. And you wait. The rest is done by the machine, the electrolysis plates oscillate creating countless ions and energy, which flow into the body. Re-balancing and strengthening bodily functions.

What does an Ion Spa session feel like?
Some do not feel anything, some feel itchy. This is due to conductivity, although this is ok, if you feel uncomfortable you may stop the session at any time.

What are the feelings directly after an ion SPA session?
The results may vary. Most have felt lighter, more energy with a sense of relief in the feet. Others have felt worn out or tired. The initial feelings differ from patient to patient.

Will there be any side effects?
There can be an increase in appetite or mild headache.

Do I need to do anything after a session?
Just drink plenty of filtered water and eat nutritious food. This required by your newly activated cells for fuel.
