Many people talk about the dangers of toxins in our food, our water, our air and of course . . . our bodies. These toxins can cause a whole range of bad health conditions, allergies and chemical sensitivities. But how do we get these toxins out of our bodies.
One way is through using detoxification patches which draw the toxins out. This could have some advantages for people with a lot of allergies, or it could be used to supplement an oral detoxification regime.
Detoxification patches know as Shu Li patches do not put anything into the body, they only take toxins out and are said to:
* Support healthy circulation of blood
* Absorb toxins that the body releases
* Reduce bodily swelling
* Alleviate minor pains
* Improve sleep
Wood Vinegar
The Shu Li patches contain wood vinegar, tourmaline and germanium. The therapy was founded by Dr Kawase Itsuko who discovered that the wood vinegar (resinous substance) from the mandarin tree possessed the ability to detoxify as well being able to ease pain and swelling.
Tourmaline
Tourmaline is one of the only minerals to naturally emit far infrared heat and ionization. It has been studied all over the world as it is the only mineral to display permanent electricity and be a natural source of negative ions and far infrared rays. It is said to create a resonance in the body which vibrates at the same frequency as water, having a positive effect on the nervous system and a cleansing effect on the body. The Niwa Institute for Immunology, in Japan found in the early 90′s that it could assist in improving circulation, relieve stress, increase mental alertness and strengthen immune system function.
Far Infrared Radiation
Research into far infrared radiation has been carried out in the USA, Japan, China and Sweden for a range of conditions. It can stimulate blood circulation and metabolism. It also supports the elimination of poisons, carcinogenic heavy metals, lactic acid, free fatty acids and subcutaneous fat (associated with aging/fatigue), excess sodium (associated with hypertension) and uric acid (which causes pain).
Acupuncture Points
Acupuncture points on the feet are usually stimulated by needles (acupuncture) or by massage (reflexology). However, Dr Kawase Itsuko realised that they can also be stimulated by the far infrared radiation emitted by the tourmaline. For this reason it is recommended that the Shu Li patches be placed on the feet for maximum effect and an acupuncture point chart of the feet is provided.
How To Use
The Shu Li patches come in 2 parts. The actual patch which is a bit like a tea bag containing the active ingredients and an adhesive patch to hold it in place. It is best to put it on just before going to bed and remove it in the morning. Although it is recommended to place it on the foot over the acupuncture point corresponding the condition suffered, it can be placed anywhere on the body including close to the site of discomfort.
Personal Experience
I used them on my partner Michele just before she passed away with cancer. They would go on white and come of almost black. Although they give relief to a number of ailments, I believe that they are best used in conjunction with other treatments/therapies. The best thing however is that they are totally non invasive.
