Why Do You Put Detox Foot Patches On At Night?
+
Why Do You Put Detox Foot Patches On At Night?
+
Our bodies are incredible, natural ‘flushing’ machines! We recommend using the Detox Foot
Patches at night because this is also when our body (particularly our liver which is the main
detoxifying organ) does most of its work.
Based on traditional Chinese Organ Body Clock, between 1-3am, toxins are released from your body and blood is filtered. At around am, your lungs are detoxing and between 5-7am is when your large intestine is releasing, eliminating toxins in waste.
By using our patches at night, we’re supporting your natural
system to eliminate toxins when it’s doing most of it’s work!
