Takara Foot Patches can be attached to other parts of the body and acupuncture points, where there are pains, health issues or swelling to remove toxins from the area, but they should always be applied to the soles of the feet as well for maximum detoxification. There may not be as much moisture removed from other parts of the body.

- For knee problems, place patches on the back of the knee.
- For eye problems, place on the back of the ears or on the temple, but not on the eye.
- For those whose health condition is more critical, Takara Foot Patches can be placed on the back either side of the spine along the waistline and over the kidneys to boost the functions and excretion powers of the kidneys.

- For wounds and bruising ( excluding cuts and eyes ) Takara Foot Patches may be helpful if used to help reduce inflammation and pain on the affected parts. Apply patches either side of the spine on the back of the neck underneath the ears but above the lymph nodes for mouth disorder or ear problems.

Takara Foot Patches are applied at bedtime in the convenience of your own home. The package contains 10 dry white sachets plus the adhesive sheets to stick them on.
You assess the used patches yourself in the morning – they can be brown, wet and gooey. In the case of extreme toxicity such as people with cancer, they may be black and soggy with considerable foul stench and pull out more moisture than the capacity of the patches to absorb.The darker the colour, the more fluid toxins are excreted. Progressively, the patches will become lighter and drier as they remove.
