Healing Crisis

HEALING CRISIS

A healing crisis is a reaction following a complementary therapy. It can be due to the release of toxins and congestion from the body organs ready to be eliminated from the body. This leads to detoxification and so is a positive thing, however a healing crisis can manifest in a wide range of acute symptoms. By drinking plenty of water, the toxins released into the blood stream for elimination are flushed from the system faster and more effectively and the symptoms healing crisis are not as severe.

The concept of healing crisis is that the body is healing itself from the inside out and that existing conditions can temporarily worsen before improving. Previously experienced conditions can then be brought temporarily to the forefront to be dealt with. Ultimately, the body is returned to a state of homeostasis.

Some general symptoms of a healing crisis are:

GENERAL FATIGUE ,FEVER, SKIN ERUPTIONS, CONSTIPATION, RESTLESSNESS, NAUSEA, DISCHARGE, ACHES/PAINS, CHILLS/COUGHS, POSTNASAL DRIP, BODY ODOUR, TEMPERATURE, LUCID DREAMS, INCREASE IN URINATION, DIARRHOEA, EMOTIONAL UPSET, COLDNESS, VERTIGO, HEADACHES, ALTERATION IN SLEEP PATTERN, WORSENING OF CURRENT CONDITION.

Most healing crisis reactions occur in the first 24 hours following the treatment. Anything after that time is most likely not linked to the treatment received.
