Detox Foot Pads

I have seen the TV commercials for detox foot patches. I guess that means I have been up too late at night.
If you have not seen them, they are these pads that you put on the bottom of your feet at night. They are supposed to draw the toxins out of your body. The commercial show the first pad you use as very dark with ickiness when it is removed the next morning, which seems to fade as time goes by.
Some people swear that after working out or if they have aches and pains, the patches work overnight to eliminate sore muscles.
I did, however, see one person comment online that they happened to wert one of the patches with purified water and it turned brown, so she was feeling pretty certain that what is turning the patches dark is simply perspiration.
One of the better selling patches, the Takara Patch, says it contains “bamboo vinegar, wood vinegar essence found in Oak, Beech and Sakura trees, and other essential natural ingredients.”
More water, more fiber, more sweat. Those are proven detox methods, but most medical experts do not think the foot patches work.
