No. The word "detoxification" is rarely used by traditional Chinese medicine, and "detoxification" is generally used. Poison has a wide range of meanings, such as heat poison, damp poison, wind poison, medicinal poison, snake and insect poison, etc. I don’t know what kind of poison the foot patch “removes”. Among the main ingredients of the foot patch, mugwort, also known as mugwort leaf, is warm in nature. Oral administration can warm the meridians and stop bleeding, warm moxibustion can warm the meridians, unblock meridians and relieve pain, and external application can remove dampness and relieve itching. It is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine. However, bamboo charcoal, bamboo vinegar, tourmaline and other ingredients are rarely used by traditional Chinese medicine. Even if the drug is verified, the skin on the sole of the foot is thicker and the drug penetration is very poor, so it is difficult to say whether external use can achieve the expected effect stated in the advertisement.

Extended information:

From the perspective of the meridians of the human body, the main purpose of applying plaster is to stimulate acupoints and be absorbed through the skin. The most important acupuncture point on the bottom of the foot is Yongquan point. Generally, the main purpose of applying medicine to Yongquan point is to induce fire to descend and warm and tonify the kidney meridian. Stimulating Yongquan point will not have as many effects as the merchants say.

To achieve the effect of inducing fire downwards and warming and tonifying the kidney meridian, it is not as effective as using medicine to soak the feet. If drugs are to be absorbed through the skin, in terms of human body structure, the feet are farthest from the heart and the return flow is very slow. Moreover, the skin on the feet is rough and the absorption is poor, so the effect of the drugs is not great.

From a physiological point of view, the human body detoxifies mainly through the skin and the liver, metabolism, and feces in the body. It is unlikely to detoxify through the feet. Foot patches need to be selected according to individual physique and disease symptoms, and you need to consult a professional doctor. Foot patches are not suitable for everyone, and people with allergies should use them with caution.

It is understood that foot patches must be tested by a professional medical institution approved by the national medical authority before they can be put on the market. The prices and ingredients of products on the market vary greatly, and there are many inferior products. Consumers should be cautious when purchasing.
