���ʼ���Ʈ
Does anyone have any idea what these things are? My boss, who every day tells me she is worried about my health, has given them to me and told me to try them out. (Who knows why she is worried about my health...except that three teachers have resigned in the past few months due serious health problems...)
Anyway, it's a box with a picture of some trees on it, and inside are these little square pads that you stick to the soles of your feet, cover them up with this adhesive cloth thing, and then put your socks on. You wear them to bed, and when take them all off in the morning, apparently you feel wonderful.
The thing is, I have lots and lots of allergies, especially environmental ones, and these pads STINK. I can't identify the smell so that's no help. The back of the box has reflexology pictures of the feet.
The part of the box where I assume it is lising the active ingredients says "����� �����Ʈ" as well as a lot of writing that I assume lists the benefits - I can type all of that out later, but for now, I thought that someone may know even a little about what they are.
Every day she has asked me if I have tried them yet and I am feeling a little guilty for saying no. I kind of want to, but I am worried about allergies and what not? |

Okay, this ain't perfect or anything, but here goes:
���ʼ���Ʈ
���� = grass
���� = sap
��Ʈ = seat or sheet - I assume the latter, referring maybe to a patch or pad.
����� �����Ʈ
��� = oxygen
�� = pack
��� = pith(probably bark lining or berry or needle or something from some kind of tree)
�� = sap
��Ʈ = sheet
OR
��� = oxygen
�� = pack
�� = gold ore found (on refining) to contain an admixture of silver or lead ; slag; dross. (Could explain why the others got ill - the owner was trying to kill them with lead!)
���� - sap
��Ʈ = sheet
Looks like they may be grass/tree sap/extract oxygen patches or something. If you're allergic to oxygen or tree/grass sap, you may want to stay away from them.
Hope that helped a little.  |

Maybe they are those pads which you attach to the soles of your feet and over night the draw all the impurities out of your body.
You stick em on your feet and in the morning there is all this black gunk on them. |
