Bamboo vinegar contains 80% water and concentrations of 200 organic chemicals. These chemicals work very well at drawing out poisons from the body. Bamboo vinegar has been used for this purpose in China for centuries.
The most common use of bamboo vinegar today is to make foot detox patches. These bamboo vinegar foot detox patches are called Chikusaku in Japan. They are very popular in Asia. You simply put the patches on your feet over night and in the morning peel them off. The patches go black from all the toxins they have extracted from the body during the night.
