5 Signs You Are Detoxing:
=============================
In order to
help combat toxins, there are many programs for detox, so do your
research and find what works for you to naturally help your body detox.
Detox is helping the body flush out toxins that have built up over time.
However, be warned sometimes
detox isn’t pretty. Flushing out those toxins releases them into your
body first, and coming off your regular routine can cause withdrawal
like symptoms. However, don’t worry because after about day 3 of a
cleanse you perk back up and feel AMAZING! Clean, crystal clear thinking
and load of energy await you!
1) Headache
This is the most
common symptom people get from detoxing. When you support your body
through a cleanse, those cells have the opportunity to release more
stored toxins, pathogens and waste thus causing a headache. It can also
be the result of the die off of sugar, yeast or caffeine. Don’t reach
for the Panadol - use some Peppermint Essential Oil for your headache,
and drinks lots of water to hydrate.
2) Fatigue
Feel like
you’ve been hit by a bus? You’re not alone! Your body is working
overtime to rid your body of those unwanted toxins. You may feel like
you are a space cadet and feel very light headed. Plus, chances are you
are going to feel exhausted, and require a little extra sleep. Allow
your body to do what it knows to do, and try to create the space to take
it easy for the first 3 days of a cleanse.
3) Diarrhoea
Yup,
that’s right. Stay close to the toilet. Our bodies natural way of
eliminating waste will get to really shine during a cleanse. All that
unwanted junk will be coming out. It’s not pretty, but it is necessary.
Again, allow your body to do what it knows to do and help to literally
release.
4) Cold/Flu
If you begin to experience constipation
while detoxing, you may develop flu symptoms like swollen lymph glands,
stuffy or runny nose, a sore throat, or perhaps a cough or lung
congestion.
5) Skin
If our liver is really backed up with
toxins, you may start to detox through your skin. You may get a rash or
have some lovely little pimples pop up. This is normal, your skin is the
largest organ of the body and helps us detox on a daily basis. Hello
sweat! Don’t be alarmed if you develop a little rash, as your body is
eliminating those toxins through your pores.
