What kinds of toxins are removed by the SAKAMARA detox foot patch?
Modern society has made it impossible to avoid the intake many unnatural toxins that make their way into our bodies via the water we drink the air we breathe and the food we eat. In addition, many people self inflict themselves with toxic poisons like tobacco, recreational drugs, pharmaceutical drugs, use of household chemicals, mercury amalgams, and many more substances that wreak havoc on our bodies and our health. Thousand so people have experienced relief from this toxic overload by detoxifying the body with the use of detox foot patches. The SAKAMARA is has the best ingredients to pull these toxins from your body in a safe and natural way. Here is a list of the top ten toxins that may be in your own home that could be affecting your health:
Formaldehyde offgasses (evaporates) from cushions, particleboard and the adhesives used to manufacture most inexpensive wood-based products. Carpets and carpet cushions may also offgas formaldehyde, causing eye and upper respiratory irritation. According to the EPA, formaldehyde may even cause cancer;
Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, warns the Surgeon General. Radon is a natural radioactive gas that can seep into homes through cracks in the basement, the surrounding foundation and in well water. It enters the body quietly through the airways;
Lead keeps epidemiologists returning to the drawing board, says Soloway, "mostly because we know more now about the adverse effects of low-level exposure." Levels once thought to be acceptable are now known contributors to learning disabilities and behavioral problems. Lead is found in paint in older houses, old plumbing and soil near highways and busy roads. It causes neurological and kidney damage, high blood pressure, disrupted blood cell production and reproductive problems;
Carbon monoxide will kill an estimated 660 Americans this year. Don't look for exhaust fumes in the attached garage; the biggest culprit is the unserviced furnace burning propane, butane or oil; Arsenic is still lacing many household pesticides and is increasingly used as a wood preservative. Low levels of inorganic arsenic "may cause lung cancer risk," according to the CDC. The Department of Health and Human Services agrees, adding arsenic compounds to the list of unknown carcinogens;
Vinyl chloride is the source of "new car smell": The plastic interior of a new car offgasses this known carcinogen. Water sitting in PVC pipes overnight may also be steeping into a toxic tea. Very large exposures can lead to "vinyl chloride disease," which causes severe liver damage and ballooning of the fingertips;
Hydrofluoric acid "can cause intense pain and damage to tissues and bone if the recommended gloves happen to have holes in them," says Soloway. This highly corrosive substance is the active ingredient in many household rust removers.
But even the most liberal list of known toxins pales next to the order of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs comprise hundreds of natural and man-made, carbon-based agents. They react quickly with other carbon-based compounds, and evaporate easily, making them ideal solvents. VOCs can be found in disinfectants and pesticides, too.
Solvents: Benzene and methyl ethyl ketome traverse cell walls unchecked by normal cell defense. Both are known carcinogens. Cousins toluene, xylene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane and trichloroethylene make up the lion's share of the solvent market;
Disinfectants: Phenols, which include biphenyl, phenolics and the preservative pentachloraphenol, are found in disinfectants, antiseptics, perfumes, mouthwashes, glues and air fresheners;
Pesticides: Chlordane, aldrin, dieldrin, though all banned for nearly two decades, continue to show up airborne in older houses.

How do I know if I have a toxin overload?
No matter how well we take care of our bodies we still accumulate toxins from living in this polluted, modern world. Although we can assist our bodies in the removal of toxic build up through things like regular exercise, eating of organic foods, liver cleansing, kidney cleansing, colon cleansing, sometimes this is still not enough. The fact of the matter is that some peoples genetic makeup simply cannot keep up with the amount of toxins that enter the body where others seem to be able to handle it. Some people seem to feel good no matter what they eat or drink, where others follow a natural diet and still suffer from ill health. Toxic overload is often the cause of their ill health.
How does the SAKAMARA detox foot patch remove toxins from my body?
Detox foot patches work by stimulating the channels in the feet that directly connect to the circulatory and lymphatic systems. For thousands of years, oriental medicine has shown that there are acupuncture points throughout the body, many of which are located in the feet. When these points in the feet are properly stimulated they initiate movement of these detoxifying channels. As the toxins bypass the SAKAMARA detox foot patch, they cohere to these special chelating ingredients and thereby are removed from the body. When these passage ways are unblocked and toxins are able to move and leave the body, many of the problems and symptoms that people have been suffering from begin to fade away.
What side effects are there from using the SAKAMARA detox foot patches?
Because the detox foot patches are applied externally they are considered very safe with no side effects other than those experienced by individuals that are allergic to any of the ingredients in the patch. Our patches do contain Chitosan, which is derived from shellfish. Chitosan is a powerful aid in the detoxification process, but if you are allergic to shellfish you may not want to use the SAKAMARA detox foot patch. Please check our list of ingredients before using the patch to be sure there are no ingredients that you are allergic to. Discontinue use if you experience any allergic reaction to the detox foot patches.
How many days should I use the SAKAMARA detox foot patch?
The first time you use the foot patches it is recommended that they are applied every night for 7-14 days. You should notice that the colors of the pads are lighter after each use. Once you see that the pads have little or no discoloration discontinue use. Many people re-apply them for about a week every month or so to maintain a healthy level of detoxification. Since they are safe and natural they can be used as often as you like.
Can the SAKAMARA detox patches be used anywhere else on the body?
Yes. Many people have experienced relief from such things as headaches, shoulder pain, lower back pain, knee pain, ankle pain etc. from applying the detox patches to any area of the body that has the acupuncture points that relate to these channels. The best way to be sure it is in a spot on the body that would be effective is to refer to a oriental acupuncture chart or simply try an area and see if the pad is discolored. If it is discolored after use then it is working to remove the blockage of toxins from that area.
What about other health problems like arthritis, rheumatism, bursitis and gout?
Many people have experienced relief from symptoms of arthritis, rheumatism, bursitis and gout through the negative ions that are emitted through the SAKAMARA detox foot patch. These negative ions help to extract a variety of toxins such as uric acid that causes gout. The patches are not considered to be a cure of these health problems but can help to relieve the pain and discomfort associated with such agonizing diseases.
What is Far Infrared (FIR) and how does the SAKAMARA detox foot patch emit Far Infrared?
Far Infrared ray is a form of light energy form the sun. It falls within the same family of Infrared Rays in the light spectrum, but due to its longer wavelengths human eyes, just like Ultraviolet Rays, cannot see FIR.
FIR has the ability to penetrate, refract, radiate & reflect. The human body can absorb FIR because of its deep penetrating ability. When FIR penetrates through the skin to the subcutaneous tissues, it transforms from light energy into heat energy. The thermal effect within the deep layers of tissues cause blood vessels in capillaries to dilate, promoting better blood circulation, and the heat produced helps to get rid of body toxins and metabolic wastes through sweating.
The SAKAMARA detox foot patch contains the active ingredient tourmaline to emit this FIR, “far infra-red effect”, which stimulates the removal of toxic waste. The tourmaline creates a magnetic energy wave that helps to increase circulation and metabolism on a cellular level in the body, allowing for expansion of the cell wall and the release of toxins through these membranes into the blood and lymph systems.

What are negative ions and how does the SAKAMARA detox foot patch emit negative ions?
Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that we inhale in all the time. Especially when you are near a waterfall, beach and after a good rain shower. Once these negative ions reach our bloodstream, they produce biochemical reactions that can increase our levels of the serotonin the so called mood chemical, thereby helping to reduce depression, relieve stress, and even boost our daytime energy.
The Bamboo wood vinegar in the SAKAMARA detox foot patch releases a ”negative ion effect”, allowing for the osmotic release of wastes across the cellular membranes. This effect promotes excretion of toxins through the skin’s pores, thereby accelerated rate of detoxification.
Do I have to wear the patches at night or can I wear them throughout the day?
Most people prefer to apply the SAKAMARA detox patches at night for convenience sake. Other people simply put them on before they go to work underneath their socks. Either way works fine, although after 8 hours of use it may no longer be effective to keep them on.
Should I be doing anything else to assist in the detoxification process?
It is not necessary to do anything else to get the benefits of the SAKAMARA detox foot patch. Although it is a good idea to be sure to drink 8-10 glasses or (1/2 your body weight in ounces) of water a day to help in the detoxification process. Make sure it is purified water not tap water.
Who can use the SAKAMARA detox foot patch?
Men, women and children and woman who are breast feeding can use the SAKAMARA detox foot patch, although it is not recommended for children under the age of 2 years old or woman who are pregnant.
