Himalayan Pink Salt Foot Bricks (2 Pack) – 4"x8"x2" Spa & Wellness Accessories for Home, Studio & Relaxation Spaces

the blocks do not accommodate the full length of my feet, but i move them every so often anyways so it is not an issue. being "natural" my bricks required different heating time. this you will have to play with anyway for your personal liking. i use the microwave (no patience). for my appliance: i start with 1 minute then flip for 30 seconds increments. remember that it should feel just a bit warm when handling with hands because the feet are way more sensitive. my first try was the perfect temperature for my hands, but TOO WARM for the feet so i kept my thin socks on for about 5-10 minutes at first. i am sure that the oven will heat much more even with better temperature retention, but for a few minutes, the microwave works fine. i get about 20 minutes then need more heating (only 30 seconds for the touch up). i don't know of its detoxification quality, i just love the "spa" way it feels for my tired feet while on the computer. i also do not have any blood pressure concerns but can see that this being prolonged salt contact might be an issue.

Although I returned the 2 Himalayan Salt Foot Detoxification Blocks, I want to be fair to both the seller and the product and share my experience in its totality. However, because my time is so limited I will not give any further feedback or answer any individual questions on the matter. INSTRUCTION: I put the 2 Himalayan Salt Foot Detoxification Blocks on a piece of tin foil on a tin baking tray. I placed the tray in a cold oven and turned the oven on to 200 degress and heated the 2 Himalayan Salt Foot Detoxification Blocks for about 15-20 minutes. After removing the 2 Himalayan Salt Foot Detoxification Blocks from the oven I placed the hot tray on a second tin tray to use as a coaster -- while using pot holders to carry the hot trays containing the 2 Himalayan Salt Foot Detoxifications to a comfortable chair to relax. The warmth from the heated Blocks lasted approximately 10 -12 minutes; and I reheated the Blocks a second time once they began to cool. However, the down side for me was that the 2 Himalayan Salt Foot Detoxification Blocks were in actuality the size of two small motar bricks. They were approximately 8" long, 3 1/2" wide, and 3" thick. Unfortunately, because I wear a size 8 shoe, and my foot is approximately 9 1/2" long from heel to toe, the blocks were not long enough to allow my enitre foot to rest on the Blocks. Consequently, because my toes where hanging over the edge it was quite uncomfortable. And, although I "ENJOYED" the relaxation of the warmth that the 2 Himalayan Salt Foot Detoxification Blocks produced, as well as the soft texture that it seemed to bring to the bottom of my feet, I was not willing to purchase a second set of 2 more Himalayan Salt Foot Detoxification Blocks to elongate and lengthen and compensate for the shortness in size of the Blocks. Therefore, I returned them to Amazon and was quickly refunded the initial purchase price of the product. Furthermore, in my attempt to be as thorough as possible with my feedback without being unfair to ethier the seller or to the 2 Himalayan Salt Foot Detoxification Blocks that I purchased, I hope my feedback helps. But as stated above, because I am a consultant, and my time ($175 hour) is extremely limited, I will not respond to any individual orquestions and hope that my feedback is helpful and will prevail. Sincerely,

Ordered the 2 Salt Foot Detox blocks and love them! They arrived carefully packed and in solid blocks. Instructions were included. I heated each block individually in the microwave for one minute and, placed them on a towel covered tray and...WOW! I could feel the warmth just pulling the tension and toxins out of my body! I use them for about 20 minutes, or until they cool off and feel completely relaxed when I finish. I've had two hip replacements, and during cold weather my hips ache constantly. The detox blocks reduce the hip pain and allow me to proceed with my activities. I wipe them carefully with a warm moist cloth when I finish, allow them to dry and wrap them in fresh towels, where they are ready for the next use. Great product!

I am 34 and currently have my 57 year old mother living with me. I bought 2 sets of these so we could use them together on our movie nights. So far we have only used them once. Warmed them in the oven at 200 degrees for about 10 minutes and then placed our feet on them while we watched a movie. About half way through the movie they had cooled enough that we both wanted them warmed again, but we were both pleased by how long they had stayed warm. After the two hour session (movie was over) I noticed how soft the bottom of my feet were. My mother, who does have roughed calloused feet was shocked that even hers felt smooth. Both of us enjoyed excellent sleep that night because we were so relaxed from the Salt blocks. Yes, the bricks are heavy, but this is a salt brick I'm not sure what people were expecting here but these bricks are over 2 inches thick and 8 inches long. They give you a generous portion that is going to last for years, they are going to be heavy. So yeah someone in their 80's with arthritis is probably not the best person to be handling these. One reviewer stated that they didn't change color. Well of course not, they are just being warmed up...their chemical composition isn't changing...what color were you expecting them to change? If you also know anything about holistic medicine or approaches you know that usually they aren't a one shot deal, use it once and "You're cured" type of thing...it is a process. You may not notice any mega changes after your first use, so saying they don't work after one session I think is unfair to say....Just like after one session I cannot say that they work in all ways. But I do know that I was very relaxed and I have a high stress very busy life and anything that helps me relax and get a really good nights sleep is worth doing and doing again. Since we first used these my mother has been practically begging me for another movie night and I agree. My best advice for anyone considering these is this: If you want a miracle detox after once use, pass on these bricks. If you want something that is indulgent and relaxing that you can do at home while watching tv or a movie and that may have some added benefits that you may see over time? Then give these a shot.

IDK if its detoxing but these are relaxing to use. UPDATE: In the time I've used these I can finally say I felt a detoxifying effect with certainty. I have recently found that I've had candida overgrowth for at least the last 2 years, so I've been reading up on the process of killing candida and the Herx. reaction (toxins released when you treat candida) Today I had muscle soreness in my legs, a mild headache but not much candida symptoms, laying on the couch not moving still hurt. So I warmed these up to 200* F and wrapped them in a bath towel and set my feet on the blocks for about an hour, once they cooled. 30 Minutes in I realized the soreness when laying still was gone, moving around was a lot easier too. The picture of them on the wood stove was when I first got them, the others are taken today. The cracks through the salt happened when the stove heated up to high temperatures. My foot is a size 8 women's US a little wide and my foot hangs off about an inch in front and back. The width of the blocks are perfect for me. If you're feet are bigger you may consider getting one of the cooking plates in the larger sizes. The only difference beside the price, perhaps, is these are 2" thick and the cooking plates are usually 1 1/2".

Product itself is really good and helps but bit bulky and heavy to handle ,especially when you want to warm it up

I have ordered from this company twice now and am very happy with my order. I ordered 4 bricks each time. The bricks were well packaged arrived in one piece and pretty fast. (3-5 days which is understandable since I’m on east coast and they ship from west coast). The bricks look fantastic in my sauna and the potential health benefits are very exciting as well. I plan on ordering more soon. Up next I want the 20-55lbs of broken pieces to line the sides of my sauna. Then I want salt panels in multiple rooms of my house. I strongly recommend this company and product.

Great salt blocks, but short. I am a women's size 9.5 and my either my heels or toes hang all the way off.

Great size. Great price arrived quickly. Very pleased.

beautiful stones, but got broken in the shipping process.
