You can't lose weight by detoxing with foot patches.
It is very unlikely that human oils and toxins will be excreted from the soles of the feet and the skin of the body through drugs.
"Human fat can only be discharged by burning into energy or liposuction, and it is impossible to directly suck it out of the skin through drugs." Li Facheng, a plastic surgeon, explained that it takes about two hours to excrete about one kilogram of fat, and the smallest fat particles can't be excreted through the skin. The sucked fat is yellow, not black. Therefore, it is impossible to expect to suck oil by sticking a foot patch.
"Normal acupoint application can stimulate human acupoints and improve blood circulation. It has only a health care function, absolutely no detoxification effect, and there is no saying that toxins are directly excreted through acupoints. " Ding Deguang, chief physician of the Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion of Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that Chinese medicine has the method of applying Yongquan point on the sole of the foot. Applying different drugs to Yongquan point on the sole of the foot can warm channels and dispel cold, and restore the fire.
It is mainly used to treat deficiency-cold syndrome, and also has a certain effect on promoting sleep and relieving fatigue, but it has never been heard of detoxification through the soles of feet. "Therefore, the foot patch can't have the effect of detoxification."

Expert review
With the improvement of people's living standards, the public's demand for health care is increasingly urgent. Recently, the popularity of pseudoscience such as "detoxing and losing weight with foot paste" fully shows the extreme lack of scientific literacy, especially health literacy of the public.
Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history in China and has a profound cultural and mass foundation. Because some treatment methods and mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine are still unclear, this has also led to the emergence of pseudoscience under the banner of "traditional Chinese medicine". The popularity of these pseudosciences has both cultural and psychological reasons.
These pseudo-science of health preservation are very confusing, because sometimes it can produce a certain effect like a placebo, which is accepted and respected by some patients. Driven by luck and blind obedience, more people will turn to pseudoscience with the mentality of giving it a try, resulting in many health myths such as "scraping oil on raw eggplant" and "detoxing and losing weight with foot stickers".
People's health literacy is an important cornerstone of healthy China strategy. It is very necessary for the country, society and medical field to strengthen health science popularization, so that more people can understand basic health care concepts and knowledge, and master healthy lifestyles and correct health care methods. Only when the positive voice overwhelms the evil voice will the road to health of ordinary people get smoother and smoother.
