About the IFD process
Yes, almost anyone can perform an Ionic Foot Detox but....
All you have to do is buy a machine. Does that mean you know WHAT is happening in the body, the scientific principals in action, how the system works and interacts? Does that mean you know what the water is "Saying" beyond the simplified color chart found on the internet?
Shamiana combines years of doing these services with the holistic body knowledge of our field AND advanced research into how the systems work. We also bring our own empathic body read to your session.
How "right" we are is subject to your own interpretation. And sometimes, your detox "answer" is "Don't know - but it is better out than in".
The practitioners have done over 5000 of these therapies and growing.

What IS an Ionic Foot Detox ?
Simply put, this is a passive method in which you can remove toxins and cellular debris from the body - naturally, without the use of chemicals or the normal diet detox routes. The feet have more pores than any other area of the body - so as your feet are immersed in the negatively charged ionic water environment, as the blood circulates through your feet, the toxins are attracted out of the body and show up in the water. Yep, it's really ALL coming out of you! The system is simple - apply a negative ionic charge to the water - to create a situation in which the bodies capillary system divests itself of impurities when it passes through the charged water layer. As our blood circulates through the feet many times an hour - the 30 minute process provides ample opportunity for the detoxification process to begin.
The "thing in the water" is making that Junk isn't it! (EEK)
NO - the low wattage electrical coil is not creating the 'stuff' that shows up in the water!
It's simply charging the simple salt added to the water, to create the ionic environment.
All the toxins, cellular debris, heavy metals etc that show up really are being pulled directly out of your circulatory system. The GOOD thing about this is that your organs do not have to try to contend with the removal of this waste so you get a "breather" of sorts and a chance to "rest". How often should I get an Ionic Foot Detox? We say that is of course up to you! We recommend initially that you may want to do a session every few days or once per week depending on your initial results. See how your body responds to the first one and take it from there. Are there any side effects from the ionic foot detox? Most often the answer is NO! Other than you will sleep like a baby that night! Occasionally people will experience extra sensations in their feet - up to some pain. This we've most often found when there has been a high level of trauma in the body (such as PTSD), or when the recipient is either diabetic or pre-diabetic. The pain or sensation may last a few days but is normally gone totally by the 3rd session. This service is, to say the least, controversial. Some will tell you it's bunk - some that it's pure magic. We simply believe that it has proven itself over and over to be of benefit to the body - so we make it available.

Photos are of our actual clients
- Start - Mid Process - End of 30 minutes. There are NO TWO THE SAME. We utilize the IFD process as a therapy plus after years of experience and a clear medical / holistic care background (and a large degree of intuition) we find it is also a pretty accurate diagnostic tools for such things as candida, gout, leaky gut, liver distress, adrenal distress or fatigue etc. Shamiana has been performing Ionic Foot Detox sessions since 2008. Do you want a holistic healthcare provider telling you what's up or do you want someone that just bought a machine to make money? Do they know the science behind the technology? Contra-indications? What's happening and what that "stuff" might be? Your money, your choice. |
Reading The Water
As practitioners of IFD , we have lots of practical information on the WHAT THE HECK questions!
Having the detox is a great self care step is clearing the system - but it can also be a very powerful diagnostic look into your system and how your body is doing.
Systemic / Organ congestion, Leaky Gut/Colon, IBS, parasitic issues, food allergies, digestive (lack thereof) issues can all show up in your pool. You will receive a checklist of the WHAT and recommendations for aftercare.
Sometimes it's just "taking out the trash" .. sometimes it's deeper issue recognition.
Please do not be offended by questions we may ask - they help with issue identification. Questions like bowel movement, frequency etc can all be as important as the symptoms you may willingly mention.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW the Cause or how to address any issues - Please simply just let us know "I just want the detox" and we'll keep it to ourselves (unless you change your mind). Thank you for your patience and understanding!
We look forward to working with you!

Precautions & Considerations
1. Not for pregnant or nursing mothers due to toxins released AFTER the first session esp in the first 3 months post partum. If you are on TRS detox spray - this restriction/caution does not apply after 3 months on the spray.
2. If you have had an organ transplant you can NOT have this process done as it will strip the anti-rejections medications from your system (a not good thing)
3. If you have a Pacemaker it may be a choice between is it safe vs is it unhealthy to NOT know what is happening.
4. It's safe with all piercings or surgical metal implants (except pacemakers).
5. Cancer Patients on Chemo therapy - plan on coming the morning before chemo.
