The first step to vibrant health, is to detoxify the body of health-repressing toxins and pollutants.
The Takara Detox Foot Patch is the easiest, most unobtrusive way to assist your body in the removal of the myriad of pollutants that invade our bodies on a daily basis; and also from the health-repressive toxicity accumulations that impede our bodies from achieving the true wellness we really should be experiencing. A toxic body (with an overburdened liver and a sluggish and congested lymphatic system) simply cannot maintain the normal cleansing performance required to maintain optimal health. Also, in addition to the over abundance of naturally-occuring toxins it is estimated that well over 400 synthetic chemicals and other man-made toxins permeate the body of the average individual today. Over time, if these toxins are not removed, they potentially may lead to various debilitating and chronic health conditions. However, once the various body components (eg. organs, tissues, cells, tissues, blood, etc.) that may have been adversely affected by the toxins are cleansed, the body makes its natural adjustments to return to its original state of health and balance. Additionally, as the body releases these toxins... the negative health symptoms that may have been caused by the toxic overload usually start to recede and even disappear altogether!

Dr Takao Matsushita and Dr Kawase Itsuko, spent their lives searching for the secret behind longevity, as sought by the sages of the ancient orient - a search that led them to consider the unique qualities and characteristics of unique trees. Now based upon their discovery, they have transformed the secret into a product for the benefit of all humankind.
After 26 years of research and development, it was discovered that a unique combination of bamboo vinegar, wood vinegar essence found in Oak, Beech and Sakura trees, and other essential natural ingredients have the unparalleled ability to absorb toxins through the skin. The Takara Detox Foot Patch is made from this unique concoction of bamboo vinegar, wood vinegar essence, and complimentary ingredients to form a truly powerful detoxing product. The invention of the detox foot patch has created much excitement in Japan, receiving high recommendations from many people. Japan’s leading health magazine, “An Xin”, has also featured articles based on its usage by the Japanese populace.

Why apply it to the soles of the feet?
According to Chinese medical knowledge, our human body has over 360 acupuncture points, with more than 60 acupuncture points found on the soles of the foot. Known as the “second heart”, they are the reflective zones of our major internal organs, they are also potential homes for toxins. When the blood circulates to the soles, the Takara Foot Patch sachet can absorb toxins released from the acupuncture points. The Takara Detox Foot Patch comes in a white sachet that is applied to the soles of the feet. After only one night of body detox, there may be significant changes to the smell and color of the sachet (from brown to grayish black) as it reflects the amount and degree of toxins which were extracted from the body. With continuous usage, there should be a visible reduction in the stain and odor of the sachet.
Circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids reach their furthest point in the soles of the feet before being return 'pumped' back up into the higher portions of the body. Unfortunately in today's society, seemingly too much of our time is spent persuing sedimentary activities. This can lead to circulatory dysfunction and an inhibited flow of the lymphatic fluids in the body (the lymphatic system in fact has no pumping organ like the circulatory system, and thus relies upon sufficient motion and bodily activity to precipitate fluid motion) as they begin to accumulate in the ankles and lower legs due to gravity.
The feet are also called the 'mirror of the body', as the various reflex points and nerve endings can traced to areas on the feet. This is what reflexology is based on (note the above foot diagram for reference). Ancient Chinese Reflexology teaches that stimulation and toxicity release from these sensitive mirror points, may also lead to vitality and wellness for the associated body parts. At the very least, the removal of toxic buildups in the body can only promote increased health as the body processes and immune system do not have to be taxed so hard to maintain optimum regulatory functions.
 
The natural powers of nature can be harnessed for human uses.
This original Asian study of the unique health, longevity, and natural disease resistance of particular mature trees deep in forests led to the beginning of the formulation of the ingredients for the foot patches. These special trees ability to not only purify large amounts of ground water through the roots into high quality water transported into the trunk and leaves, but the as the powerful absorbing and detoxifying power of the wood sap made it a study-matter ingredient for human use. However these ingredients were only the beginning for what would after years of study and research would later become the amazing Takara Foot Patch.
 
Potent, high-quality, all-natural ingredients in the Takara Detox Foot Patch include the Agaricus mushroom from the jungles of Brazil. It is a plant textile that absorbs carcinogenic substances. The patches also contain chitosan, bamboo sap, eucalyptus sap, ionic (absorbable) tourmaline minerals, saururus chenesis (which was the first plant to grow at the atomic bomb site in Hiroshima) fermented adjusting starches and other potent plant ingredients. Additionally, the dried pasture sap in Takara Foot Patches have strong sterilizing power, detoxification, infiltration and absorption qualities. In the end, the combination of these powerful ingredients in the precise herbal ratios became the Takara Patch standard that would take the world by storm!

What is the Lymphatic System?
The lymphatic system and the cardiovascular system are closely related structures that are joined by a capillary system. The lymphatic system is important to the body's defense mechanisms; as it filters out organisms that cause disease, produces certain white blood cells and generates antibodies. It is also important for the distribution of fluids and nutrients in the body, because it drains excess fluids and protein so that tissues do not swell up. It is through the actions of this system including the spleen, the thymus, lymph nodes and lymph ducts that our body is able to fight infection and to ward off invasion from foreign invaders. Without a properly functioning lymphatic system, or if it becomes over-burdened, it is impossible to enjoy optimum health. The Takara Detox Foot Patch is specifically designed to assist the lymphatic system and the related blood network to cleanse and revitalize the body to better health.
The Takara Detox Foot Patch helps the body achieve its optimum state of wellness (homeostasis), by supporting improved blood circulation, increased metabolism, activated red blood cells, enhanced quality of sleep, and the absorption of expelled bodily fluids and toxicities. The Takara Detox Foot Patch assists in the release of toxins through the skin, similar to the same cellular osmosis process utilized in the plant kingdom. The unique Takara formulation then has the powerful ability to absorb these lymphatic toxins that form in the human body over time, subsequently relieving the painful areas in the body - all while you sleep. This process can cleanse, revitalize, and strengthen the body's immune system to promote natural healing and restoration that the immune system was designed to perform.

Negative Ions & Far Infrared Rays
Negative Ions have been shown in scientific studies to restore balance to the nervous system, boost immunity improve metabolism, and to assist the body in healing its self naturally. It is well known that consuming more alkaline foods, i.e. fruits and vegetables, is beneficial to human health. An acidic PH balance of the body, on the other hand, makes the body weak and susceptible to sickness. Acidification of the blood, which is caused by the loss of electrons, can be prevented by Negative Electric Ions which contains an abundant amount of electrons improving the body's immunity and resistance to illnesses. This is the reason Negative Electric Ions products are becoming more and more popular nowadays.
 
Metabolism, which is the process of acquiring nutrients from the blood and excreting waste out of the body, is extremely important to the human cells. The more Negatively Charged Electric Ions there are in the blood, the more efficient the cell's metabolism process. An experiment was conducted on electric ions and the permeability of the cell membrane. In the experiment, skin was used to exemplify the cell membrane. When positively charged ions were permeated into the surface of the skin, its pores and sweat glands began to contract. However, when Negative Electric Ions were permeated into the surface of the skin, its pores and sweat glands expanded, which demonstrates good metabolism of the cell membranes. This is phenomenon is called Prototype Plasma Membranes of Dermal Reflectivity. Dr. Arudoman of Germany also conducted a research regarding the influence of ions to the human body. He proposed the following hypothesis -

Negative ions are beneficial to human body in four major ways:
* Strengthens the body's immune system
* Improves the permeability of the cell's prototype plasma membranes (metabolism)
* Reinforces collagen (tissues that are resilient and tension-related)
* Strengthen the functions of autonomic nerves

Electromagnetic waves outside the visible spectrum of light in the range of 0.76 - 1.5ym are called near-infrared rays, those in the range of 1.5 - 5.6ym are called middle-infrared rays, and those in the range of 5.6 -1000ym are called far-infrared rays. Among these, far-infrared rays in the range of 6-14ym are known to be most beneficial for human health.

Far-infrared rays causes electromagnetic resonance. As a result, the substance absorbs the infrared rays and produces strong heating effects. Since infrared rays, due to their long waves, are less prone to scattering by corpuscles compared to ultraviolet rays or visible light waves, they exhibit efficient osmotic effects. Such rays equally heat the surface and interior of the target by permeating deeply, such as into human skin in medical treatment.

Far Infrared benefits to the human body:
  • Far-infrared rays promote blood circulation by stimulating the movement of the peripheral nerves and capillary vessels, and they are effective in the dissolution of blood clots.

  • Far-infrared rays product the magnetothermal effect by activating water molecules. The magnetothermal effect induces strong perspiration, which helps in eliminating waste products.

  • By helping in the efficient elimination of waste products of heavy metals that have accumulated in the body, far-infrared rays promote metabolism.

  • Far-infrared rays also activate cell organizations that help eliminate waste under the skin, and induce the skin's breathing and revitalization.

Tourmaline is a semi-precious stone and mineral that emits negative ions and far-infrared rays (FIR). It is known to be helpful for improving circulation, relieving stress, increasing mental alertness and strengthening the immune system function. The energy produced by this mineral have been shown to increase circulation and metabolism on a molecular level in the body, allowing for expansion of the cell walls and the transfer of toxins and waste across these membranes into the surrounding blood and lymph systems; and as such is an integral component in the Takara Detox Foot Patch in the precise optimum ratios to maximize its detoxifying properties (unlike many other imitator foot patch brands).


Heavy Metal Poisoning
Not all heavy metals are bad, in fact in small quantities certain heavy metals are nutritionally essential for a healthy life and are commonly found naturally in foods, fruits, vegetables, and in multivitamin products. However, the exposure of humans to the normal healthy quantities found in naturally-occuring sources is greatly out of balance in today's industrialized world.

Previously, the medical community's concern over metal toxicity was in regard to acute industrial exposure, where certain dramatic measures were performed to stimulate elimination of those metals. More recently, there has been concern over lead intoxication in children from sucking or eating lead-based paint, for example, and legislation has been enacted to reduce this possible contamination. For most of these potentially toxic minerals, there are many common uses and possible contamination sources throughout our society; our concern must be with more widespread and long-term observation of and protection from these dangers. Lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and, more recently, aluminum are the main toxic minerals. Beryllium, bismuth, and bromine must be considered as well. And there are other heavy and radioactive metals that could bring future difficulties. Most of these minerals were present in our environment only in minute amounts until recent centuries, when the orientation toward industrialization and production brought about our many technological advances. But technology, like medicine, has its side effects. Mining these metals from the earth and using them in society-as leaded gasoline or silver-mercury tooth amalgam, for example-have brought all of us into regular exposure with them.

We cannot realistically put all the lead and cadmium for example, back into the earth and cover it up. We need to deal with their presence. Most of these heavier metals are quite stable and decompose fairly slowly, if at all, so they remain in the environment. The basic way that these heavy metals cause problems in the human body is by displacing or replacing related minerals that are required for essential body functions. For example, cadmium can replace zinc, and lead displaces calcium; when this happens, the cadmium or lead is stored in the bones or other tissues and becomes harder to clear, while the important functions of the minerals that are replaced cannot be carried out. Heavy metals become toxic when they are not metabolized by the body and accumulate in the soft tissues. Heavy metals may enter the human body through food, water, air or even through absorption through the skin in agriculture, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, industrial, or residential settings. Both adults and children are frequently exposed on a regular basis to heavy metals.

The overabundance of heavy metal & chemicals in the human body make it difficult to absorb the important minerals and vitamins in food that our bodies need. These blockages may add to digestive problems, parasites, allergies, emotional issues and may also make the body more vulnerable to diseases. One solution to dealing with the prevalence of heavy metals in the body is to draw the heavy metal and toxins out of the body through external means. The Takara Patch has been proven effective in assisting the body in drawing heavy metals through the skin, and binding them in the patch to prevent re-absorption.


Independent Lab Analysis Confirms Toxins
Testing has scientifically proven the effectiveness of the detox patches by showing the intensity or presence of heavy metals, toxins, or parasites being drawn out into the pads:
(eg.) Aluminum, Antimony, Arsenic, Asbestos, Barium, Benzene, Cadmium, Chlorine, Cobalt, Copper, Fluoride, Formaldehyde, Gold, Isopropyl Alcohol, Lead, Mercury, Methyl Alcohol, Mold, Nickel, Parasites, PCBs, Platinum, Radioactive Materials, Stainless Steel, Thallium, Tin, Titanium, Uranium, and much more.

For those who are interested in a scientific analysis of the effectiveness of the patches in removing extracted heavy metals, toxins, parasites and various chemical expulsions from your own body, we can put you in contact with several independant analytical labs which can provide a personalized scientific-breakdown of specific components that the patch has successfully extracted from your body. Contact us for additional information.

How do you use the patches?
The patches are adhered like a big band aid to the soles of the feet overnight. Depending on the individual, the detox may require two to three weeks or longer in the case of greater toxicity build-ups. Most people use the pads on the arches of the feet to start with. The pads generally start becoming lighter in color as less "gooey" toxic lymph is extracted. At that point, other zones of the body can be addressed and cleared (usually taking far less time). Depending on overall health, some people notice positive health results fairly soon, within a few days. Others may take a couple of weeks to sense that something positive is happening. But it is of general consensus that the removal of toxicity build-ups within the body should lead to an increase in vibrant health and vitality.

The detox foot patch phenomenon is growing in popularity throughout the region. In Japan alone, monthly sales figures hit a staggering US$ 18 million (December of 2002). The worldwide popularity and use of the Takara Detox Foot Patch is growing at a phenomenal rate, with even more international widespread usage as the amazing properties of this unique and effective detox patch becomes readily known throughout the entire world.

Note: The Takara Detox Foot Patch should not be placed over open wounds, mucous membranes, or around the eye area. The Takara Detox Foot Patch can however be very effectively placed over other areas of the body where you are experiencing pain, discomfort or swelling. When using on any area where the skin is naturally moist, oily, curvy or prone to motion; it will help to use some form of adhesive tape or similar product (like band-aids or medical tape) to better ensure optimal contact of the Takara Detox Foot Patches with the skin.

Additionally, the non-foil backing of the patches ensures the purity, potency, and effectiveness of the ingredients; to maximize your cleansing experience.
