Symptoms/Conditions
Here is our list of Symtoms/Conditions/Ailments with the manufacturers recommended detox pads for each. Please follow the links to your chosen variety for more information.
All our varieties contain a combination of Wood and Bamboo Vinegars and Dextrin which are essential for the pads to function properly, so all are suitable for general detoxification but with the added ingredients, some are most suited to particular symptoms.
The following information is provided as a guide only and is not intended to diagnose or replace medical advice.
As with all health aids, if you are in any doubt, please first seek advice from a qualified medical professional. The suitability of these pads for each condition has been derived from the manufacturers own recommendations, the mix of ingredients present in each variety and customer feedback
