The sachets in your kit have two patches in each - one to use for each foot, each night. Unlike some other brands, our patches are in one simple easy-to-apply piece, so simply remove the adhesive film and place on the centre of each of the soles of your feet before jumping into bed and getting some sleep.

When you wake up, remove the patches and dispose of them - they are not reusable. You may want to give your feet a little rinse to remove any remaining residue, then pat dry. Full instructions are in the How To Use section of our 5-Day Detox Kit product listing.

How many nights in a row can I use the patches for?

Our 5-Day Detox Kits are just that – intended for 5 days of use, however if you still feel that you have symptoms of toxin overload (which include: fatigue, bloating, brain fog, headache, swelling, moodiness) then you should continue until symptoms subside. We would recommend up to 10 days, but then break for 14 days before embarking on another detox cycle.  

What ingredients are in your detox tea?

Our all-natural ingredients in our Morning Sunshine Detox Tea include: Ginger, Green Tea, Burdock Root and Dandelion Root. We know that some people can feel nauseous with Green Tea (especially in the mornings), which is why we’ve purposefully added Ginger (because it’s both delicious known to eliminate nausea – eg used for motion sickness). Burdock Root and Dandelion Root are both absolute hero’s when it comes to naturally promoting detoxification. Obviously Green Tea is a complete super-food and has all sorts of incredible health benefits. The full list, can be found here.

The bottom line is that you should detox as often as you feel you need to. The symptoms that are signs your body may be (or is still) in a state of toxin overload are: fatigue, brain fog, bloating, swelling and moodiness. We recommend setting up a lifestyle habit of committing 5 days a month to cleanse, detox and reset, for balance and maintenance of optimal health and wellbeing.

How do I know if I need to detox?

Our bodies all respond to toxin overload differently, but if you have one or some of the below symptoms, it could be a sign of toxicity and a strong signal that a cleansing detox would be a positive solution. Symptoms could include:

  • Fatigue
  • Bloating and abdominal swelling
  • Lack of attention / easily distracted
  • Poor memory retention / brain fog
  • Mood swings and emotional
  • Bad digestion and irregular bowel movement
  • Picking up colds and bugs easily – poor immune system
  • Skin irritations.

Why do you put detox foot patches on at night?

Our bodies are incredible, natural ‘flushing’ machines! We recommend using the Detox Foot Patches at night because this is also when our body (particularly our liver which is the main detoxifying organ) does most of its work. Based on the traditional Chinese Organ Body Clock, between 1-3am, toxins are released from your body and blood is filtered. At around 4am, your lungs are detoxing and between 5-7am is when your large intestine is releasing, eliminating toxins in waste. By using our patches at night, we’re supporting your natural system to eliminate toxins when it’s doing most of it’s work!

Sleeping has improved

I have been struggling a lot with a low quality of sleep lately, waking up feeling tired and completely unrested. The patches were really helpful as a goal for me, and a reminder to cut down on other stimulants. I loved the tea as an added support in the morning to get my day started. - Kealie

Just what I needed

I was looking for something to compliment a new healthier eating and lifestyle commitment and the detox kit seemed perfect. Loved the thoughtful packaging and personalised note - it was fun to unbox. The feet patches are defo one of the oddest things I’ve done but strangely satisfying taking them off in the morning and you don’t notice them when you are going to sleep and sleeping and I’m a bit sensitive to that kind of thing so I was pleased that was ok. The tea feels like a great way to start the day and has reset my habits so I’m having a healthier morning rather than reaching for milky coffee first thing. Links to recipe ideas etc were helpful too. Loved it.

Did somebody say 'energy'?

There comes a point where you wonder if feeling a bit run-down all the time is just normal... but it's definitely not! These St Agnes foot patches and detox teas have sparked some kind of energy in me. I wake up feeling really fresh and like I've got my 'pep' back. I'm here for it!

Luxe Self Care

Holy Gloria! It doesn’t get any better than a bit of mini day spa indulgence at home. St Agnes Rituals is a game changer - fits perfectly to fit into my routine (mostly because I can do it at night / in the morning). It feels both luxurious and refreshing. Love it!

Felt refreshed after, amazing what came out!

I used my first foot patch from St Agnes after my Christmas indulge period recently. I really felt like it helped me feel refreshed and less sluggish. I'd recommend giving them a go.
