Detox foot pads are placed on the bottom of your feet and left there overnight, to draw out toxins, such as heavy metals. The idea is that when you peel off the detox foot pad in the morning, its darkened or discolored appearance reflects the toxins that have been removed from your body. Manufacturers of detox foot pads say that their products draw toxins out of your body while you sleep. Some manufacturers have claimed that detox foot pads also treat high blood pressure, headaches, cellulite, depression, diabetes, insomnia, and aid in weight loss.
