What is 'Nuubu'?
One feels nice warmth and comfort, which helps fall asleep faster. It is claimed that not only people with pain are helped, but healthy people with no pain also reported a massive boost in vitality, energy and well being too. Some of these pads may contain ingredients such as "distilled bamboo vinegar" that allegedly pull toxins from the body, but critics have shown that the process is not scientifically viable.
Japanese Secret
This is an uncovered Japanese secret that battles stress & anxiety as claimed by the manufacturers, but here we will be approaching it with a neutral perspective i.e., both the facts and claims will be discussed.
According to ancient Japanese medical knowledge, our human body has over 360 acupuncture points. More than 60 of the acupuncture points are found on the soles of the foot. A practitioner explains our feet are the reflective zones of our internal organs. These patches stimulate the 60 acupuncture points on your feet and help detoxify your body. The herb mix draws out toxins from the feet in a safe and non-invasive way. The toxins leaving your body are what dye the patches to black.
While the detoxification foot pads seem to be popular among young populations in some regions, the effect of the pads remains unclear. "Removing heavy metals from the body" seems to be good for health, however, the human body needs a certain amount of heavy metals such as zinc, iron, copper, etc. Excessive amounts of heavy metal can cause diseases. Although absorption through skin is one of the ways for the human body to take in heavy metals, it is not clear if the heavy metal molecules can be pulled out of the body through skin.
The circadian rhythm is not proven to be related to the heavy metal detox, either. There is no evidence proving that bamboo vinegar has the function of attracting heavy metals. On the other hand, detoxification foot pads can not accurately control how much heavy metal to be “detoxified” from the body. The pads have no evidence of identifying what they claim to remove, or the way of measuring its level in the body.

No studies have been done to measure the amount of accumulated heavy metal on the pad after it's been left overnight. The Japanese company Kinoki claimed their foot pad to be able to cause weight loss by removing toxins, metabolic wastes, heavy metals and chemicals from the body. Manufacturers also claimed that the pads can treat various kinds of disease including headaches, depression, even a weakened immune system.
The locals there who have knowledge about the treatment, spend time carefully picking up herbs in the forest and later mixing it. When asked about the treatment a local doctor explains, The “healing” is a process, a meditation. The herbs get mixed into a powder, powder is added into a bandage for the feet. That bandage is later perfected into a patch, the patch they call Nuubu- a simple, natural solution to reduce the effects of stress and toxicity that are associated with fast-paced modern life.
Furthermore, it is claimed that foot patches also help in improving blood circulation. Poor blood circulation symptoms include cold hands and feet, muscle cramps, tiredness, heavy or aching legs. When blood circulates through the foot, the patch utilizes these points to draw out toxins. As toxins are pushed away, they end up at the lower extremities such as the feet. Gravity is also aiding in bringing those heavy metals and toxins to our feet — the place where you put Nuubu to extract the toxins from your body.
Manufacturers have some really ambitious claims and one among them is:
- When you wake up, you may find the pads yellow, brown or black. That is said to be the reaction of the pads eliminating the toxins throughout the night. The first few nights you use Nuubu, expect to see the pads dark. As you use them continuously, they will start being of lighter color — this may imply that your body is carrying fewer toxins.
Here Are Some of the Benefits of Nuubu
- reduce back pain;
- increase sleep quality;

Are Foot Detox Real?

Why Does Foot Detox Turn Brown?
After the so-called “ionic detox” device is activated, the water in the foot bath turns shades of red and brown. This disgusting mess is claimed to be “toxins” but is actually the product of a simple chemistry trick: rust from electrodes conducting electricity through the water.
After critical analysis of the whole healing process, it can be concluded that Nubbu’s effectiveness can’t be properly determined due to the absence of scientific evidence and differences in people’s opinions.
