Re: Truth about "detoxifying" pads

Sit in a sauna, you mean? Yes, that will work too. Since perspiration is second to urination as the most common means of extracting unwanted substances from the body.

Except when one sits in a sauna, the amount of toxin removed from the lympahtic system is usually not enough to bring the toxicity down to the level that the detox patches can. A heavy exercise might actually produce better results than the sauna.

By working on the soles of the feet where meridians (or accupuncture points for you in the west) are concentrated, the active ingredient in the patches stimulate lymphatic ation and eventually, transdermal extraction of the fluids into the patches.

Now, exactly how the wood vinegar works to stimulate the lymphatic fluid to come out through the pores of the skin is still unknown to science. Although the use of patches made from wood bark or even certain types of mushrooms to soothe body pains is an excellent remedy known since ancient times in China, Japan, and Korea. Dr. Kawase merely took it one step further for convenience.

People familiar with Koolfever patches know that it is the modernized version of the Tui Re Bao herbal remedy. Tweet
