How to Prepare for an Ion Detox

How to Prepare for an Ion Detox



Ion body detoxification removes toxins through your feet. As they sit in a container of warm water, a stream of positive and negative ions attaches to the toxins and draws them out through your skin. An ion generator then sends new ions back into your body. If left in the body, the bad toxins could causes aches, pains and diseases. Here's how to prepare for it.









1


Find a salon or center that performs ion detox. The Web is your best bet.





2


Know that most places recommend multiple sessions for maximum effectiveness. This may include as many as twelve sessions for people between the ages of 10 and 65. It's recommended they go three times a week for four weeks.





3


Pay around $50 for a single session. You can save money by buying a package. They run between $300 and $500 depending on the number of ion detox sessions.





4


Drink plenty of water before the ion body detox treatment. You should aim for 100 ounces, or 12 cups, of water. Your system will need it to avoid a common side effect--a headache.





5


Eat nutritious food rich in minerals. This will also help stave off the headache following ion body detoxification.





6


Wear comfortable clothing to your sessions. Women may want to shave their legs and paint their toes since they'll be on display during the process.

How to Prepare for Acupuncture

How to Prepare for Acupuncture



Many people turn to acupuncture to cure or help relieve ailments such as depression, arthritis, and diabetes. Although not scientifically proven, acupuncture is rooted in Asian medicine and has been practiced for over 5,000 years. Practitioners employ needles to manipulate your body's physiological functions.









1


Research your family history. On your first visit to the acupuncturist, you will probably be asked for a detailed medical history. Explain any stress or emotional trouble that you have been experiencing.





2


Study any literature describing the kinds of needles that will be used during your acupuncture session. Many people think that the needles will hurt. However, the discomfort is minimal at worst. Acupuncture needles thin as human hair and many people feel relaxed by the insertion of the needles.





3


Avoid eating foods and drinking liquids that contain caffeine several hours before your acupuncture appointment. It is also suggested that you eat lightly before and after your appointment. Don't drink alcohol or use illicit drugs before your acupuncture appointment.





4


Drink any herbal teas or take any supplements your acupuncturist may recommend that you ingest prior to treatment and between treatments. For certain conditions, your professional also may recommend dietary changes. Follow these guidelines.





5


Dress with comfortable and loose clothing. You will want to feel relaxed during your acupuncture to get the most out of the experience.





6


Bathe before your appointment. You may have to expose your skin, depending on the treatment.
