Why Detoxification is Important
Toxins accumulate in our bodies over time due to factors like pollution, poor diets, medications, and daily stress. This buildup can lead to various health problems, such as:
- Fatigue and low energy
- Joint pain and inflammation
- Swollen legs and ankles
- Frequent headaches
- Poor circulation
Regular detoxification is essential for maintaining optimal health, and this foot compress offers an easy, natural way to assist with the process.
How Detox Foot Compresses Work
Detox foot compresses are inspired by reflexology and traditional medicine. Similar to acupuncture, they stimulate reflex points on the feet that correspond to different organs in the body. Studies suggest acupuncture helps regulate the autonomic nervous system, enhancing circulation and overall health. Detox foot patches function similarly by promoting toxin removal through the feet.
How to Make a DIY Detox Foot Compress
Ingredients:
- 5 cloves of garlic
- 1 small onion
- 100–120 ml of water
- Adhesive bandages or cotton gauze
- Cotton socks
Instructions:
1. Finely chop the garlic and onion.
2. Boil the water, then add the garlic and onion.
3. Simmer for 3–5 minutes, then let the mixture cool for about 20 minutes.
4. Strain the liquid and apply a small amount to a cotton swab or gauze.

Why Boil Garlic and Onion?
Raw garlic and onion contain strong compounds that can irritate the skin. Boiling them lightly helps preserve their detoxifying benefits while making them gentler for skin application.
