Baking soda or salt for homemade ionto?

Hi guys,

I had success with homemade ionto a while back (without having to use salt or baking soda) - when I do treatment now, I don't feel anything unless I add salt. When I add salt, I can feel the current/tingling like I did when I had success the first time using ionto.

Has anyone else had a similar situation? I've noticed salt works well but I've heard some people say baking soda is better. Should I stick with adding salt? I add maybe a teaspoon or more..

Baking soda is a better conductor of electricity than salt, so if you only have to choose one, then I would say baking soda. However, I put both in my trays. There isn't anything wrong with using both or just one.

Personally I would avoid salt if only because i have a bias against it as it can cause increased sweating if you have too much.

For ionto I have used baking soda but at the moment i'm using Epsom salts which seems to work well. To be honest i'm in a very hard water area (as is most of the uk) so i don't really need to add anything.

Curious, I assume your setup is direct current? what voltage is it at? I'm using 15v at the moment and its painful, comparable to a bee sting.

Glad to know that you had success with your ionto! Can you tell me how much voltage are you using? How many batteries and which brand of batteries?

Moreover, i would appreciate if anyone having success with their ionto can tell me these things. Thank you

Don't use salt for 3 reason.. It hurts like hell and it doesnt work plus the metal rust extremely fast with salt. My stainless steel containers started to rust only after 2 treatments with salt.

Okay, guys, I'm going to switch over to using baking soda now. I'm going on vacation during the week of March 28th so i'm hoping I can combat my HH by then.

I'm using 2 12v batteries. And I agree, salt does hurt like hell, especially if I put in a tad bit too much.
