Express Detox Ion Cleanse Spa

If you have never done an Ion Foot Cleanse before, it is quite an interesting process. You place your feet in a tub of warm water, and an electrical machine is also placed in the bin. This machine puts out charged ions, which apparently latch onto yukky things in your cells, removing impurities, excessive metals, acids etc. in the body through your feet.
Believe it or not, but my 60+ dad is a fan of this, having had relief from some gallbladder issues, so I thought I would give it a try!
The claim:
— removes impurities, heavy metals from the body
–cleanses vital organs, especially liver, kidneys
–energy boost
–strengthen immune system
–improved sexual functioning (HOLLA!)
–curing world hunger, and general amazing-​ness
This review will NOT focus on the scientific or medical claims of this treatment, but simply the place itself. You can go on YouTube to search for the various claims on this process.
The Ion Cleanse Spa is conveniently located at the corner of Queen and Bathurst. And you can just walk right in. Treatments are 30 mins in length.
Ion Treatments: Yes. Spa-​like? No.
Tea and water were on offer here at no charge. It was overall a very strange place. Might have been kinda fun with a friend, but reading my book in silence while the employee played on the computer and listened to bizarre music wasn’t very spa-​like.
The tubs were very clean, but the whole place seemed unkempt. You could see coffee cups, microwave, employee coats etc. I don’t want to see that stuff really. It ruins my relaxation time when I focus on these things.
The treatment was 30 bucks, which is easily calculated to $ 1 a minute. Worth it? Not too sure yet… I definitely felt a tingle in my toes, and the water post-​treatment was heinously nasty… dark orange with a scummy brown top. Super gross! Toxins BE GONE!
I expected a run-​down on what this colouration meant, but it was more of a «pay and get-​out» kinda place. A bit disappointing. I was hoping for more analysis on my health. So far I feel no bounce in energy or sexual functioning. But maybe I’ll sleep better tonight. Who knows.
Cash Only, and it goes right into the clerks personal wallet. Sketchy.
