Detox patches for the feet.

Can they be safely used if placed on other parts of your body, like legs, arms, or chest?

There's no reliable evidence that detox foot pads work. Detox pads change color due to the wood vinegar in them, which reacts when exposed to moisture and warmth. It will change color even when exposed to steam or tap water. The color of the pad changes to brown or black on its exposure to warmth and sweat from the feet.

If it doesn't work on the feet, it's not going to work anywhere else.

I'd be surprised if there is any evidence that anything marketed as detox has an effect. The whole idea is ludicrous.

The best anyone can hope for from this kind of remedy is that they won't do any harm and that some of them smell nice.
Detox for what?

@MsSwan It is criminal what some of these companies get away with. It is just very hard to do anything about it when they are in China.
@Nitedoc I know.. you have to be skeptical of everything.

@MsSwan Well sort of. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
