No. Detox pads have only 100% natural ingredients in them and what's more, none of the ingredients get into the body.

Toxins are expelled from the body mainly through the excretory system. For various reasons however, modern lifestyle is not conducive to the efficient and regular removal of toxins.

How do Detox Pads / Detox Patches remove toxins from my body?

To understand how Detox pads work, we must first understand some fascinating facts about the human body. Traditional oriental medicine has long held the knowledge that distributed throughout the body are acupuncture points called meridians. Meridians act as channels that link various parts and organs of the human body and are directly connected to the function of circulatory and lymphatic systems of the body. It is also known that the human feet have a large concentration of meridians. Proper stimulation of these points in the feet explains why one feels very relaxed and energetic after a good feet reflexology massage. Through the combined action of wood vinegar, far infrared and minus ion emissions, the meridians are stimulated. This stimulation results in the breakdown of water and waste molecules that frees blockages in the circulatory and lymphatic system allowing blood to flow freely and waste to enter the bloodstream readily for elimination.

What do the different colors of the used Detox Pads indicate?

The color of the used pads are very difficult to predict because toxins drawn out of the body are almost always a mix of several types like heavy metals, sodium, uric acid, etc. The color is a function of the chemical reaction of the toxins and the wood vinegar. Most of the time, toxins drawn out of the body are mostly composed of heavy metals which is why brown and gray are the usual color of the used pads. We have had one report of dark purple color from a user with failing kidneys and undergoing dialysis.

Since the color of the pads becomes lighter after every use, application of Detox pads may be halted when the used pads no longer become discolored. After a few weeks, use of Detox pads may be resumed.
