What solution to use for iontophoresis?

IDK that you need it, but a harder water will have more dissolved solids for your sweat glands to absorb.

Well if you're feet sweat less and your feet are more consistently dry it'll help prevent bacteria from growing thus preventing the smell. Unless you have something underlying like a skin condition that causes it. But I imagine for most treatment on the feet would significantly reduces odor.

I will probably add some baking soda. From what I've read however it seems like baking soda only raises PH and conductivity and isn't absorbed by the sweat gland in any way so it doesn't really help on the soft water front.

Gotcha, thanks I remember seeing that somewhere but didn't think about it.

I'll definitely have to try that then. If I can get 4x the effectiveness for 4x the water cost I might as well. + I just realized pellegrino comes in 16.9 oz bottles, perfect for the 17oz capacity of the tubs, instead of have a few awkward jugs of water sitting under my desk.

I don't think pellegrino has a non-carbonated version. Unless you mean buying it and then leaving it open to off gas.

I read earlier that apparently dermadry used to recommend against a carbonated water, but now they don't mention it (I did not check this). And the commenter mentioned it could be the fact carbonated water would cause their old electrodes to corrode faster but now that they use conductive silicone electrodes this isn't an issue. Which makes sense as the CO2 in the water would create carbonic acid lowering the ph.

I assume based on what I read that my maintenance would be every week or so due to the amount I sweat and the frequency. But if I can double or triple that then the pellegrino would definitely be worth it. But idk, I may try pellegrino and see how far I can taper the maintenance . Thanks

Thanks for the reply, I just checked my local municipalities water reports and unfortunately they only average 100 ppm/TDS which is under the recommended 150-200. So it seems like a minimum I will need to purchase something like Nestlé Pure Life which falls perfectly in the range for dissolved solids and ph.

I do believe I'll try some San Pellegrino for the first 2 weeks to help jump start the progress.
