Detox foot pads are foot pads or adhesive patches that manufacturers claim to dramatically improve health when placed under the feet during sleep. Some of these pads may contain ingredients such as "distilled bamboo vinegar" that allegedly attract toxins from the body, but critics have pointed out that the process can not be carried out scientifically.
On January 3, 2008, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an urgent warning of the potential dangers of many imported pharmaceutical substances including several brands of foot detox footprints. In April 2008, in response to a question from the Associated Press, a spokesman for the FDA said on the agency's investigation of claims made for Kinoki footwear that "basically, when we open a case, it means that a possible offense in terms of the Food Act , Drugs, and Cosmetics, such as when (the product maker) makes false and misleading claims. "
In August 2008, National Public Radio commissioned a laboratory test to look for heavy metals in a used bearing, which Kinoki claims is taken from the body. The test did not find any. NPR also found that bearings change from white to gray when they are exposed to moisture, including sweat, and not necessarily because they absorb other substances.
Japanese company Kenrico claims that their bearings have a positive effect on user health, and that they remove heavy metals from the body. There is no evidence that this product works and although the skin is one of the largest detoxifying organs, there is no proposed mechanism why this patch will increase the detoxification rate above the baseline.
