The Healing Curve
After your treatment your body may experience some reactions. This is perfectly normal, as a cleansing procedure is taking place. It is certainly not something to be alarmed about. In fact it can be seen as a positive indication that your body had successfully responded to the treatment received. Yet this is not to say that if you do not experience any symptoms that you have not benefited from the treatment.
Anywhere there is an excess of toxins in the body - possibly due to pollution, chemical additives to the food chain, ill health, smoking, drugs or drinking for example - the likelihood of experiencing a Healing Curve will be increased. Also those with deep-rooted emotional issues are more likely to experience some sort of a reaction to the treatment. Each Healing Curve will be different depending on the individual's physical and emotional needs. Having said all that, often there can be no other reaction experienced other than total relaxation and better quality of sleep.
So if you do experience any of the following symptoms below, the response time can also differ with each individual. They usually pass within 12 to 48 hours. Yet if you find yourself becoming overly anxious and have actually received a treatment from me, then please do not hesitate in to contact me. Often just explaining how you are feeling and hearing a reassuring word is enough to put you at rest.
Possible symptoms you may experience
- Increased desire to go to the toilet
- Aggravated skin conditions
- Runny nose, sneezing or coughing
- Feverish, shivering or chilliness
- Tiredness, headache, feeling low or weepy
- Temporary increase or worsening of existing symptoms
These are just some of the common reactions you may experience whilst your body is trying to eliminate excess toxins.
After Care Advice
To help minimise the physical effects of the Healing Curve it is advisable to drink plenty of water (at least 8 glasses). Reduce or if you can manage it, eliminate tea, coffee, fizzy drinks, cordials and alcohol for at least 48 hours. This will assist your body in flushing any toxins from your system. Try drinking herbal teas instead (it's just a matter of getting used to them). Nettle, Peppermint, Rose Hip and Chamomile are all known for their relaxing or digestive properties. On the evening of your treatment have a light meal, avoiding those sugary creamy desserts! Finally, relax, leave what you can until tomorrow, and If you wish to further your relaxation why not take a warm bath, but not too hot!
If you do experience symptoms of a Healing Curve, it is recommended, within reason, that you avoid the temptation to take painkillers or any flu remedies. These will only add to the toxins your body is trying to eliminate. Rest, drink plenty of water, eat light and have an early night. It is rare for a Healing Curve to be debilitating.
