HEALING CRISIS AND HOME CARE ADVICE
After treatment the body starts to take control of the healing process, releasing stored and unwanted toxins. These are eliminated via skin, lungs, bladder or bowel movements. The symptoms associated with this are known as the “healing crisis”. You may not experience any noticeable reaction, or alternatively you may feel worse before you feel better, as the treatment speeds up the healing process and the elimination of toxins. So, for example, the underlying symptoms of a cold may have been brought on sooner than if you hadn’t had a treatment. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns. Note any reaction you have (either good or adverse), and let me know at your next treatment. Remember that relaxation is a prerequisite of good health.
Possible healing crisis symptoms:
Thirst
Drowsiness
Runny nose
Vivid dreams
Spots/skin rash
Nausea
Deep sleep
Full of energy
Sleeping difficulty
Invigoration feelings
Frequent bladder/bowel movements
Emotional ups and downs (laughing, crying etc.)
These symptoms are quite normal following treatment and may last from a few hours to up to 48 hours. After this time, it is unlikely they are related to the treatment and you would be advised to see your GP.
Client aftercare advice:
To gain maximum benefit from the treatment:
Drink plenty of water to assist the elimination of toxins
