We do not advise the use of the foot bath for kids who are on medications that a) control or mitigate life-threatening seizures or b) support other life-sustaining functions (e.g. medications that regulate heartbeat). If your child is on such a medication, please work with your physician as they can monitor blood levels of the medication and ensure the effectiveness of the meds is not diminished during a detox protocol. Only your physician can override our recommendations.
For a more comprehensive discussion (mostly for adults), please see this article.
