Detox foot patches are placed on the soles of the feet for from eight to ten hours, for the removal of toxins from the body. The patches contain all natural ingredients, and no artificial chemicals. Reflexology involves a number of techniques based on the premise that the nerve endings on the feet contain points called meridians that serve as channels to link different parts and organs of the human body. Meridians are also directly linked to the function of the circulatory and lymphatic systems of the body, which are believed to be improved through the process of reflexology. Manufacturors of detox patches claim that the patches stimulate these same meridians, thus drawing toxins out of the body through the soles of the feet.

A fungal overgrowth–often called candida–will cause numerous health problems, making it necessary to cleanse the fungus from the body.
