Hello Arkie,

I've been using the foot pads every night (on the feet) for the last month know & the smell & colour have definitely changed for the better!

As regards to putting them on the hips, that’s not something I've done myself but during my research into foot pads I read a lot of testimonials some of which attested to putting them on the hips & other areas to relieve arthritis. It was my impression from these testimonials that the 'required result' was achieved fairly quickly!!

Why not reasure yourself & do a web search from google/yahoo etc. Just search for 'detox foot pad testimonials'!

Also, here's the site I bought my first load of pads:-

Go half way down the page of this site & you'll find the heading:- Can I put the Takara Detox Foot Patches on other parts of my body?

Let me know how you get on:-)

Regards, Smarty.

ps. I've got my mum on these too;-)
