Herxheimer Reaction Information

Also known as the "Herxheimer Reaction," this reaction occurs when the body tries to eliminate toxins at a faster rate than they can be properly disposed of. The more toxic one's bodily systems are, the more severe the detoxification, or healing crisis. It is characterized by a temporary increase in symptoms during the cleansing or detox process which may be mild or severe. You may feel worse and therefore conclude that the treatment is not working. But these reactions are instead signs that the treatment is working and that your body is going through the process of cleaning itself of impurities, toxins and imbalances. 

Such reactions are temporary and can occur immediately or within several days, or even several weeks, of a detox. Symptoms usually pass within 1-3 days. Often the crisis will come after you feel your very best. Most people feel somewhat ill during the first few days of a cleanse because it is at the point that your body dumps toxins onto the blood streams for elimination. With a more serious conditions there maybe many small crisis to go through before the final one is possible. In any case, a cleansing & purifying process is underway, and stored wastes are in free-flowing state. 

Cause:
The healing crisis is the result of every body-system, in concert, working to eliminate waste products through all eliminate waste products through all elimination channels and set the stage for regeneration. The end result: old tissues are replaced with new. 

Symptoms: 
The healing crisis will usually bring about past conditions in whatever order the body is capable of handling at that time. People often forget the disease or injuries they have had in the past, but usually reminded during the crisis. There are a wide variety of reactions that may manifest during a healing crisis, the most common are:

  • Increased joint or muscle pain

  • Diarrhea/vomiting

  • Extreme fatigue and/or its opposite, restlessness

  • Cramps

  • Headache (believed to be caused by build-up of toxins in the blood)
