RELAX, DETOX, FEEL BETTER WITH A FOOTBATH

SKEPTICAL at first, Brandy Rosenberg has become a believer in the treatment.
Perhaps the next best thing to walking on a beach is soaking your feet in a Focus Detox Footbath. Maybe even better.
A mixture of water, salt and electric current “generate a stream of negative ions, like the ocean,” says energy healer Brandy Rosenberg, who recently started offering the practice at the Healing Hands Wellness Center.
One of the co-owners of the Center was so moved by his own experience with the treatment, he invited Brandy to set up shop at his Crescent Heights Ave. location.
Through osmosis, impurities, from pollution, fast foods, alcohol, drugs, etc. are released for up to a few days after the treatment. People lose weight, acne clears, indigestion and sinuses improve; diabetics and Lyme disease sufferers benefit from the treatment. It works on “whatever their issue is,” says Brandy. “I’ve seen so many miracles… one man with diabetes could hardly walk. By his third treatment he was on his bike.”
The copper coil oxidation process was created in the 1960s by NASA to help astronauts get grounded after their voyage into space, explains Brandy, as she pours water into a copper tub, adds a dash of Himalayan salt and a mild electrical current.
After soaking my feet for 35 minutes, the result was not pretty—a dark brown, jelly-like substance had oozed out from the pores of the soles of my feet (which have the biggest pores and are the most condensed area of the body). To be fair some of the dirt color was from the copper tub, but the bluish gel was from the unassimilated vitamins I had taken that morning, guessed Brandy.
She rarely “reads” the water, she said. But after doing this for five years, can often detect problems, whether she means to or not. One artist detoxed such heavy fumes after 30 years of working with tubes of paint, Brandy’s eyes burned.
A former pro-rodeo rider who continues to saddle up in her spare time, Brandy had worked in the music business when she was diagnosed with needing knee surgery, and later, developed a hernia.
Prescription drugs and an operation (for acid reflux) didn’t work, but yoga and ensuing alternative therapies did, one of which was the foot detox treatment.
She was working long hours, this time at a healing center with equipment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, when in walked a person carrying the Footbath treatment. She remembers rolling her eyes and thinking how could this simple plug-in current system possibly help her.
With nothing to lose, she dipped her feet in the gentle current, and within 15 minutes “felt amazing.” She rented the machine and gave treatments to patients in the lobby, which were soon hailed as more effective than those experienced with the expensive, high-tech machines.
She’s been plugging in the system ever since and even carries it, along with the tub and salt, on house calls. “It’s a profound experience,” she says.
