After many years of research and development it was discovered by some Asian researchers that wood vinegar essence found in certain trees has the ability to absorb toxins through the acupuncture points of the feet. The Takara Detox Foot Patch is made from a unique concoction of wood vinegar essence, and several other ingredients. The Takara 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.
