I was always curious about those foot pads that supposedly detoxify you while you sleep. When they were $20 a pair, I passed on it. Since I found them at the dollar store for $1 for 2 pairs, I figured...why not? So I tried it. Sure enough, in the morning the pads were black & gelly. They smelled horribly like charcoal. I did a little research. Turns out that the bamboo vinegar in them turns brown and gel-like when mixed with water (or perspiration). So I dribbled water on the unused pad and sure enough black gel formed. Some people swear by them. I think they're a hoax. But I also believe that any placebo will heal a person, so if they work for you, by all means, gel it up.
