A relatively unheard of method of body detox is the ionithermie detox process. In 1979 the French biochemist developed this treatment, which has found its way to the USA only in the past few years. The ionithermie detox method is said to improve the muscle and skin tone, increase firmness, promote fast weight loss, improve circulation to specific areas, re-mineralise, balance hormones, enhance lymphatic drainage system functioning and of course, detoxify the body. All this, within an hour.

The detox process:

The ‘treater’ and ‘treatee’ first agree on the area to receive treatment. A mixture of purifying algae, ivy and amino acids is applied to the area. These are the ingredients that increase circulation, break down cellulite, and release toxins trapped in the fatty deposits. A layer of fabric is wrapped around the Ionithermie detox ingredients and clay is applied over it. The clay is infused with algae and it is meant to conduct electricity. Several electrodes are placed along the area to be treated.

Ionithermie detox depends on a mix of galvanic and faradic electrical stimulation to work its magic. The galvanic stimulation uses positive and negative ions to extract toxins from deep within the body. The faradic stimulation is intended to work as an exercise to promote muscle and skin tone. The trained therapist oversees the mild electrical applications to balance results with comfort. After the treatment is completed, the clay is removed and a soothing lotion is applied.

After the first treatment, amazingly, most patients show a markedly visible loss of several inches in the treated area. However, it must be remembered that the benefits in terms of weight loss will not last a life time until a healthy diet plan and exercise regime are coupled to it. Although the loss of one to eight inches is temporary, the muscle firming and detox effects are there to stay.

So, for all those wishing to lose weight and improve their overall health, the ionithermie detox method is a great way to give your diet and exercise objective a good start. There are several products related to the treatment that you can take home so as to regularly give the treatment benefits a touch up. The fast spreading word of the benefits of the ionithermie detox treatment has resulted in spas acquiring the equipments and trained personnel so that they may provide the treatment to their clients. The catch to the it is that the medical community takes the claims of ionithermie detox treatment with a grain of salt while its beneficiaries swear to its wide-ranging beneficial effects.
