My experience with the Ion Detox Footbath, or more specifically now called the “Hyperbath” machine.

What is it, what is it all about?

When I originally came across the Footbath over 15 years ago, my mom had tried it and wanted me to try it. I thought it was a bit of a hoax truth be told. It didn’t make sense to me how putting your feet in the water, for 30 mins with a little machine could so simply help remove toxins from your body. Toxins don’t pour out of your feet naturally, and I had never seen it happen in real life when I took a regular bath either! So how was this possible and what was this all about?

I figured I would give it a try and see. I still remember how it went, cause of how surprising it was when I watched it all go down!

I was there when 3 other people did it and I was able to sit and watch their experiences before I did mine. There was one lady about 60 years old who seemed pretty healthy enough. Then a lady about 30 years old, and then her daughter who was 9 years old.

I watched the older lady have her treatment first and we were all surprised to see that within a few minutes the water was starting to change colour. The coloured water was actually not just coloured but thicker in texture too!

Then the 30-year-old lady, got hers done, and she had a deeper darker brown colour, with quite a bit more heavy material in the water. Like someone had poured soup in her water.

Then the young girl got hers done… and shocked all of us! Her water turned almost black, it was thick and soupy and bubbly! About double the amount of material in the water than her mom’s! I was absolutely shocked as was everyone else.

Then I had mine done and I was somewhere in-between the young girl’s and the 30 year old’s.


Originally I thought it would all be the same, you put your feet in the water then the machine starts and it goes a tad brown. So then how do you know that’s different about each individual person’s results and possible toxins coming out?

I paid attention to the lady setting it up in her shop each time. And nothing was different or changed. I watched the lady fill with clean pure water. And a clean machine went in. A sprinkle of sea salt. And that was it. And that’s partly what blew me away. That each person had a very different result in the water. I was blown away from watching all that.

So I tried it myself a few more times and each time I did it, it was different even for me! It wasn’t the same. In fact, each time I did it, it turned worse and darker and thicker and thicker, then after about 5-6, it started backing of and getting less and less and less material and colour in the water.

And I started having better energy for longer periods every day!

So I was hooked…


So there I started on my way to taking care of my own health, as I saw it changing with something so simple! Plus I was hooked and a believer and so It started me on my way to my own flourishing business! I had to share this happier, healthier, lighter, more energetic feeling I had with others!

I had around that time started into a Reflexology Certification Course and realized that these would go very well together for wellness treatments for clients. I started offering Reflexology sessions in combination with the Footbath treatment. With Reflexology, the body’s circulation and lymph system get activated and the body starts moving toxins easier and flushing faster in the body. So by starting with even just 1/2 hr of Reflexology then following with the Footbath, I started seeing people actually dumping more and heavier materials into the water. About 1/3 more material in fact than by just doing only the Footbath by itself.

Years later I still use the footbath myself every so often and for my clients. Now I’ve been trained in more Natural Therapies as well over the years. I recommend anything that stimulates the body such as doing the Footbath after Lymphatic Massages, E.F.T. sessions etc. Anything to do with release and detoxing it is a great addition to help and support the body releasing these faster.

Did you know?

The Footbath has been recognized to help remove all sorts of toxins from the body. They’ve noted the different colours you see coming out are reported to come from different organs, etc. Such as helping detox the kidneys, the urinary tract, the liver, the lymphatic system, as well as with heavy metals and more.

I’ve seen people visibly start to pick up with their energy levels right after the Footbath treatment, but also majorly decrease in any pain in their body. I had one client that had a metal plate in his back and pins in his knees which made it uncomfortable to walk more than 1 block. After one session he told me he later went for a walk for over 12 blocks and didn’t feel any discomfort. He was so excited to move without pain anymore he said!

I’ve had many other clients with aches and pains that have felt the same directly afterwards. One girl in her 20’s had a major back ache and after one session that too was completely gone. I’ve also seen people’s skin colouring transform back to a healthier state.

I’ve then seen those with more chronic issues with low energy improve over the course of a few treatments. I’ve had clients digestion change and improve as well. These ones did nothing different in their lives but incorporate the Footbath treatments between 1- 6 times over a few weeks.

I’ve seen such things as sleep improvement, anxiety levels diminish on a regular basis so that people are generally calmer, happier and more generally less stressed and relaxed. For those with more severe health issues, I always recommended either Reflexology, Lymphatic massage or something that would stimulate the blood and lymphatic movement to thus assist in the Footbath treatment better and be more effective for their body. And I still very much recommend that.

These are just a few of the many experiences I’ve seen over the 16 years I’ve been working with this fantastic machine. Some of you may not live near me or someone that does these Treatments. And then if you go to do this at say a Naturopath centre, you’d be paying upwards of $100 per session.

I recommend this as a family or even personal health expense to get one of these machines. To see how it has helped my families health and to consider the amounts of pollution we all face on a regular basis. Whether from the air we breathe ( that maybe even appears clean) to the water we drink (filtered or unfiltered and what’s left remaining) to our general household cleaning products, bath and body products, hair products. We can be as “green” or “clean” as we can but even our food contains problematic stuff for our bodies. Everyone who has ever tried the Footbath didn’t believe that they had THAT many toxins to release. Everyone!

“Let’s live healthier longer lighter lives”

I love this too for the fact of how easy it is, 30 minutes and you sit and relax. It’s not invasive, the worst is the cleanup. lol.

I do have a Youtube video showing how easy the setup and cleanup is too and you don’t have to be a specialist to run these. They make them very user-friendly!

This machine is the only machine I trust. As I have seen third party reports of copycat machines that literally have no effect and possible could be harmful to use! I did own one other version which was about 1/2 as effective. I believe it was the Q machine if I remember correctly. This was years ago so my memory is fuzzy. But given the chance to go to wellness centres and tried a couple of different brands and I tried working with these… This is the only one I will use and recommend for all these reasons. The customer service is great with this company too. So I highly recommend them for this too. The company sales manager John is very kind and helpful and will talk you through what you need and what you need help on. I’ve worked with him many times over the years.

I encourage everyone to try and buy these for their family and/or wellness business endeavours!
