Healing Crisis, Removal of Toxins
Healing Crisis, Removal of Toxins
By Viola Woolcott
As the body heals, it throws up symptoms which we call “Healing Crises”. These symptoms can be sudden as well as severe. They can test your faith in the process of getting well. A conventional doctor will ALWAYS view a healing crisis as something that needs to be suppressed. Normally you are prescribed drugs and than you end up where you originally started. In the beginning!! In their practise, conventional medicines NEVER see any strong, rapid healing with the exception of withdrawing from drugs, tobacco or alcohol, where the symptoms are called “withdrawal symptoms”, which means that the body is ridding itself of poisons.
Just imagine that you are adding foods to your diet that are good for you. Herbs to clear out debris from the liver, the intestines, releasing the effects of long held emotions. Than the body has more nutrients to work with as well as less blockages which stopped it from working properly in the first place, because of its increased ability to function to rid itself of toxins that have been accumulated for a long period of time. For withdrawal symptoms you have removed the obvious toxins, for the healing crisis you increase the general ability of the body to remove toxins. To me, the effects look the same.
Common healing crisis symptoms would include:
>> Tiredness
>> Mucus discharge
>> Fever
>> Skin eruptions
>> Inflammation and pain
>> Nausea and vomiting
>> Swelling
>> Aching muscles or joints
>> Bowel disturbances
>> Coated tongue
>> Cystitis
>> Thrush
>> Headaches
>> Cramps
>> Weakness
>> Cold and Flu symptoms
>> Sore throat
>> Cough
It is pretty obvious that the above matches many other disease symptoms, and the possibility shouldn’t be ignored. It is more likely that you suffer a healing crisis if:
>> Something negative has been removed from your diet or maybe from your environment
>> Maybe you have added something positive to your diet
>> If you are doing a detox or cleanse and are taking herbs or juices
>> You are taking homeopathic remedies or are having another powerful healing therapy
>> Sometimes you feel exceptionally good the day before you feel bad
>> Old symptoms return which have previously been suppressed by drugs
>> Emotions are surfacing that you have forgotten about and not felt in a long time
>> You pass something out of the body through your bowel, urine, skin, or have mucous discharges (sometimes it smells of chemicals or drugs you have been taking or come into contact with previously, then you can be sure it has to do with a healing crisis)
>> You suffer from fever, that when a hand is placed on the forehead and than taken away an inch, it seems as if there is a cool draft under the hand (which indicates a dangerous fever)
>> Symptoms come on suddenly (acute) rather than the result of a slow decline
>> Symptoms occur within 2-3 weeks of the spring or autumn Equinox
During a healing crisis, the body has expectations. It wants you to keep doing what got it there to get through it. Do not stop if you are taking a powerful supplement or herb, or if you have changed your diet. Just assist your body to eliminate the stirred up toxicity. Taking a herbal laxative or an enema may be of use, as the toxins leave the body via the bowel. Should there be liver symptoms or nausea, a coffee enema will usually take it away within minutes. There are certain herbs that can help mucous to flow easier, such as Epsom salt bath, as the salts pull toxicity through the skin. What would be days of suffering, can be immediately eased with simple techniques.
