ION Spa FAQ
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 Ions?
Ions 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?
Ions regulate all functions of your body, positive Ions cause breakdown and
disruption in function, whist negative Ions promote new cell growth and
strengthen functions. It is a balance of positive and negative that keeps
you healthy.
Are Ions always there and in the correct balance?
Ions 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 Ions 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 Ions 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 Ions?
Negative Ions are found in the atmosphere, you can over long periods rebuild
your negative Ions by spending time around water falls, forests, the beach,
or thunder storms. These conditions create the perfect environment for the
production of Negative Ions naturally within the atmosphere. For those that
don’t have weeks to spend around these environments there are now other
alternatives.
So why are Ions getting all this attention now?
Negative Ions 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 Ions. So, as
there is more information available this means more people see the
information which creates awareness, further research and leads to Ions
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.
