DIY: Ionic Foot Spa

An ionic detox foot spa is like other foot spas because you soak your feet in it. An ionic detox foot spa is different because it has a small electric current running through the water. The electric current is used to draw toxins out of the body through the feet. Instead of buying a specialty ionic foot spa, it is possible to make your own at home.
