The Healing Crisis: A Necessary Step Toward Well-Being
It
is
essential
to
purify
and
detoxify
your
body
at
least
once
a
year.
This
process
helps
eliminate
toxins,
improves
organ
function,
prevents
premature
aging
and
chronic
diseases,
and
maintains
weight
balance
as
well
as
a
better
quality
of
life.
Elimination
of
toxins
through
the
excretory
organs
During
a
detox
cure,
fasting,
or
when
using
certain
natural
health
products
that
have
drainage
or
cleansing
actions,
the
body
eliminates
harmful
substances
by
expelling
them
through
the
excretory
organs.
The
excretory
organs
are
the
five
organs
responsible
for
this
purification:
the
intestines,
liver,
kidneys,
lungs,
and
skin.
These
natural
filters
help
rid
the
body
of
toxins
and
other
waste
products.
The
role
of
vital
force
However,
when
the
body
is
faced
with
an
excess
of
toxins,
the
excretory
organs
become
overloaded,
leading
to
tissue
congestion,
making
waste
elimination
more
difficult.
This
is
when
the
vital
force,
the
energy
that
enables
us
to
maintain
our
physical
and
psychological
functions,
steps
in
to
help
restore
balance.
It
is
common
to
see
that
even
without
medical
treatment,
the
body
is
able
to
naturally
recover
when
it
is
in
good
health.
Thus,
when
the
excretory
organs
are
overwhelmed
and
unable
to
eliminate
waste
properly,
the
vital
force
activates
mechanisms
to
correct
the
congestion
of
the
terrain
and
allow
the
body
to
continue
functioning
normally.
Healing
crises
These
regeneration
efforts
can
trigger
what
are
known
as
healing
crises.
These
detoxification
or
cleansing
crises
aim
to
more
actively
expel
toxins
through
the
excretory
organs.
They
can
take
various
forms
and
may
be
accompanied
by
unpleasant
symptoms.
It
is
a
natural
process
that
allows
the
body
to
purify
itself.
Reactions
during
healing
crises
The
reactions
observed
during
healing
crises
vary
from
person
to
person,
but
they
are
usually
sudden
and
unusual.
They
can
appear
a
few
days
after
starting
detoxification
and
last
from
a
few
days
to
several
weeks.
Generally,
the
greater
the
congestion,
the
more
intense
the
crisis
will
be.
Here
are
some
common
reactions
during
a
healing
crisis:
Headaches
Back,
neck,
and
joint
pain
Excessive
sweating
Skin
rashes
Digestive
disturbances (
constipation,
diarrhea)
Digestive
issues (
bloating,
flatulence,
abdominal
cramps,
acid
reflux)
Bad
breath
Fatigue
and
irritability
Flu-
like
symptoms
or
ear,
nose,
and
throat
problems
Frequent
urination,
a
full
bladder
Vaginal
discharge,
heavy
periods
The
excretory
organs
engaged
during
detoxification
depend
on
the
types
of
waste
being
eliminated,
as
well
as
the
specific
strength
of
each
organ.
This
is
why
reactions
can
vary
from
one
person
to
another.
Benefits
of
healing
crises
These
crises
should
not
be
viewed
negatively,
as
they
are
beneficial
for
the
body’s
regeneration.
They
allow
the
body
to
get
rid
of
toxins
in
large
amounts
and
are
crucial
steps
for
true
purification
of
the
terrain.
Therefore,
detoxification
crises
should
not
be
suppressed,
but
it
is
important
to
monitor
them.
If
they
become
too
intense,
it
is
recommended
to
consult
a
practitioner
for
appropriate
advice.
Before
undertaking
a
detoxification,
fasting,
or
dietary
cure,
it
may
be
helpful
to
start
with
a
gentle
and
natural
drainage
to
prepare
the
body
for
gradual
toxin
elimination.
It
is
also
advisable
to
consider
supplementation
with
vitamins,
minerals,
and
trace
elements,
to
provide
the
body
with
the
necessary
nutrients
to
support
the
detoxification
process
effectively.
