Following is the complete ingredient list of all types of Kenrico Detox Patches. A combination of these top grade ingredients are used to make the 11 types. Every type includes powerful herbs to promote lymph drainage.

Wood Vinegar	Source: Ubame Oak (Quercus Phillyraeoides)	Ubame Oak, Quercus phillyraeoides, is heated to 250 degrees Celsius. The smoke is condensed into vinegar. Next, the vinegar is filtered at least 5 times to obtain purity, and is then stored for 6 months. The middle layer of the vinegar is used in the finished product. To produce powder, the vinegar is heated, condensed, and dried with a special drying machine before a quality inspection. This process yields a very high concentrated extract with an extremely high level of purity. Wood vinegar is known to be able to improve blood circulation, and is one of the key herbs to promote lymph drainage. This improved blood circulation can lead to improvement from Fatigue, Headache, Double vision, High Blood pressure, Arthritis , and many other symptoms.
Bamboo Vinegar	Source: Arrow Bamboo (Pseudosasa Japonica)	Arrow bamboo, Pseudosasa Japonica, is heated to 250 degrees Celsius. The smoke is condensed into vinegar. Next, the vinegar is filtered at least 5 times to obtain purity, then stored for 6 months. The middle layer of the vinegar is used in the finished product. To obtain the powder, the vinegar is heated, condensed, and then dried with a special drying machine before a quality inspection. This process yields a very high concentrated extract with an extremely high level of purity. Bamboo vinegar is said to double the effect of the wood vinegar amd so it is also one of the key herbs to promote lymph drainage. Due to its rarity, bamboo vinegar costs almost twice as much as wood vinegar.
Chitosan	Source: Crab Shells	Chitosan is the result of biomass research; it is extracted from the shell of a 'crab shrimp'. Chitosan products have been used for over 30 years by water companies to trap toxins, grease, heavy metals, and oils. It is the second most plentiful fibre, after cellulose. Chitosan products are also used extensively by the medical profession due to their ability to promote wound healing. Extensive studies have been carried out to determine its fat binding properties. The results found it to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol by 6% and enhance the HDL (good) cholesterol by 10%. It has also been successfully marketed as a weight loss supplement.
Dokudami	Source: Houttuynia cordata	This plant is native to Japan, Java and Nepal, and is found at altitudes of over 6200 feet. It has been proven to contain a variety of flavoids, flavonoid glycosides (afzerin, quercitrin, isoquercitrin) and pyridine alkaloids. Its essential oil consists mainly of decanal (capry aldehyd), dodecanal (lauryl aldehyd) and 2-hendecanon (methyl nonyl ketone). It has been recognized for generations for its strong absorption properties. Dokudami one of the essential herbs to promote lymph drainage.
Loquat Leaf	Source: Loquat leaf (Eriobotrya Japonica)	There is over 3000 years of history behind 'muxibustion therapies' and it has been used extensively in Buddhist medicine. In India it is widely used to treat many conditions and it has been crowned the king of all herbal medicines. The Loquat leaf contains malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, tannate, carotene, vitamins A, B and C. Its leaves and kernel contain amygdalin, otherwise known as vitamin B17, or laetrile. It is known because of its ability to promote the secretion of body fluids and it also has antitussive, expectorant, antiemetic properties, making this one of the key herbs to promote lymph drainage.
Vitamin C	Source: Orange	It has long been known that human beings do not produce ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Vitamin C increases HDL (high density lipoprotein) production. (HDL helps absorb fat located in plaque. In the process it changes from a disc shape to a globular form of HDL, and takes this fat to the liver to be burned. Vitamin C also decreases the production of lipoprotein (a). Our liver knows that when there is plenty of ascorbate on board, there is no need for high levels of lipoprotein (a) which is, after all, a repair factor for the cracks in blood vessel walls which come up in the absence of suffcient ascorbate.) Additional benefits of Vitamin C are: Down-regulates cholesterol and triglyceride production in the liver. Lowers blood sugar and insulin requirements. By relaxing the blood vessel walls, lowers blood pressure when hypertension is present. Inhibits inappropriate intravascular clot formation (the final and sometimes deadly event in cases of heart attacks and strokes).
Vegetable Fibre	Source: Corn (corn fibre)	Vegetable fibre is used to prolong the lifetime of the Detox Patch. Its fibre prevents ingredients from hardening due to humidity.
Tourmaline	Source: Tourmaline (semi precious) stone	Tourmaline is a very popular gemstone and collectors mineral. It exists in all colours, and the multicoloured stones are unsurpassed in splendour. Tourmaline is both pyroelectric and piezoelectric . A specimen is put under a pressure or temperature change will generate an electrical charge. Tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese word 'Turamali' which was given to mixtures of unidentified gem gravels in Ceylon, now Sri Lanka. Tourmaline exerts a cleansing and liberating energy upon our entire nervous system with a clearing and stabilizing effect. Tourmaline is best known as one of the only minerals to emit far infrared heat and negative ions .
Amethyst	Source: Amethyst stone	Cool and relaxing, amethyst is a stone of psychic power. It helps promote meditation, peace, tranquillity and oneness with your spiritual goals. It enhances and strengthens the powers of the bearer and helps attune with the higher self, dispelling fears, heightening intuition and helping to embrace your own intuitive wisdom. In ancient times it was said to be 'proof against poison'. Amethyst, similar to Tourmaline, is a 'negative ion', which exerts a cleansing energy upon our entire nervous system with a clearing and stabilizing effect. Amethyst is also said to be a stone of sobriety, and can help the user become free of addictive tendencies. A mixture of Amethyst and Tourmaline in our Detox Patches is known as "Powdered Stones".
Agaricus	Source: Agaricus mushroom (Hime Matsutake)	Agaricus Blazei Murrill (Hime-matsutake) is a newly discovered species of mushroom that is attracting the attention of many scientists around the world. Artificial cultivation of this mushroom was achieved for the first time by the Iwaide Fungology Institute by Dr. Inosuke Iwaide, a professor at Tokyo and Mie Universities. This mushroom was presented by professors Hitoshi Ito, Keishiro Shimura and Sensuke Naruse, of the mushroom research group at Mie University medical school, as the highlight at the 'the 39th General Meeting of Japanese Cancer Academy' in 1980, and is still attracting scientific attention. Agaricus Blazei Murrill is known to have an anticancer effect and promotes homeostasis. It is also known to be able to relieve diabetes and allergic diseases.
Grapefruit	Source: Grapefruit extract	Grapefruit contains pectin, a soluble fibre that reduces the rate of entry of carbohydrates into your bloodstream, thereby lowering insulin secretion. Grapefruit and other citrus fruits also protect against cancer. In Japanese studies, grapefruit extract stopped tumour growth after it was injected under the skin of mice. The researchers concluded that the humble grapefruit is a 'remarkable anti-mutagen', a substance that reverses cellular changes that lead to the division and growth of cancer cells. Grapefruit used in the Detox Patch can also be used for aromatherapy. Aromatherapy is the use of scents for the harmony and well-being of the body, mind, and spirit. It has both physical and psychological benefits and is used as a holistic treatment. The scent of grapefruit promotes feminine properties; soothes, cleanses and tones; benefits nervous system; uplifts the spirit and helps maintain self-confidence.
Raspberry	Source: Raspberry extract	The scent of Raspberry soothes, restores and uplifts human spirit; excellent for refreshing tired head and feet.
Lavender	Source: Lavender extract	The scent of Lavender relaxes, soothes, restores and balances the nervous system; excellent for refreshing tired muscles, feet and head and useful during the cold season.
Cayenne	Source: Chilli peppers	Cayenne pepper, also called Capsicum frutescens, is a stimulating herb made from the dried pods of chilli peppers and is known for its pungent taste and smell. Cayenne is a popular spice used in many different styles of cooking, but it has also been used medicinally for thousands of years. Cayenne is often referred to as chilli, which is the Aztec name for cayenne pepper. The main medicinal properties of cayenne are derived from a chemical called capsaicin. Capsaicin is the ingredient which gives peppers their HEAT. A pepper's capsaicin content ranges from 0-1.5%. Peppers are measured according to heat units. The degree of heat determines the peppers' usage and value. Generally, the hotter the pepper, the more capsaicin it contains. In addition to adding heat to the pepper, capsaicin acts to reduce platelet stickiness and relieve pain. Other constituents of cayenne are vitamins E, vitamin C and carotenoids. Today cayenne is used worldwide to treat a variety of health conditions, including Poor circulation, Weak digestion, Heart disease, Chronic pain, Sore throats, Headaches and Toothaches.
Dextrin	Source: Corn flour	Dextrin is a product of starch hydrolysis, a carbohydrate having the same general molecular structure as starch but with a smaller and less complex molecule with adhesive properties. Its presence is necessary in Detox Patches as a filler to bind other ingredients together. Beware of claims of Detox Patches made without dextrin. Without dextrin, the Detox Patch will not work, like a car running without tires. However, keeping the amount of dextrin low in the Detox Patch is the best way to achieve the optimal results.
