No detox programmes comes without some form of discomfort. As a result, you may experience some cleansing symptoms. However, such discomfort should not be mistaken for side effects. In fact, these common Cleansing Symptoms are good signs that Neera Detox is working, as your body is in the process of releasing harmful toxins. The release of stored toxins from the body usually occurs in the first couple of the days when you implement the Programme. Cleansing symptoms usually last for two to three days. Since your skin is the largest eliminative organ, you may experience a rash or eczema, or pimples may appear. If you are suffering from a chronic skin disorder, the condition may temporarily worsen in the early stages of the Programme. However, such symptoms usually last only a few days before it clears, leaving your skin more radiant as toxins are released from under your skin.
Healing Crisis
A Healing Crisis is a systematic healing from the inside out. You may experience more acute cleansing symptoms or ‘healing crises’ if your body is especially toxic. If you’re suffering from a health condition, you may experience symptoms identical to the sickness itself. Most of us often forget the diseases or injuries we suffered in the past.
During a detox, a healing crisis may occur through symptoms of past sickness. Common symptoms of healing crisis are fever, headaches, extreme fatigue, aches, pains, sleeplessness, sinus congestion, catarrhal expulsion and skin eruption. These are all signs that the detox is working and that your body is going through the process of cleaning itself of impurities, toxins and imbalances. Drink lots of water and the Neera Drink to help flush toxins out of the body and get plenty of rest. Do not give up when discomfort arises so that the body can do its work to heal from the inside out. How to alleviate cleansing symptoms. Cleansing symptoms usually last between 1 to 3 days as toxins circulate and are eliminated. You will begin to feel energised and revitalised after Day 3 and 4. If your cleansing symptoms are too intense and too rapid, you can take these steps to slow down the cleansing process:
• Consume additional Neera Drinks throughout the day. By consuming more Neera Drinks, your body will need to process the additional carbohydrates and nutrients, thus slowing its cleansing function
• Drink additional 1-2 litres of water to flush out toxins
• If you’re experiencing headaches or stomachache, have a hot cup of peppermint tea
• If you’re experiencing exceptional discomfort, such as aches, fever, acute pain, unusual rashes – please consult one of our doctors at our store locations. They will be able to assist you through the Programme.
• Take the time to rest as your body needs to cleanse, restore and heal.
Helping Your Body Cleanse
The key to a successful detox is removing toxins or accumulated waste matter during your cleansing process. You will begin to feel revitalised and energised as more toxins are released and eliminated. Below are steps you can follow to aid in the elimination process:
Senna Tea – Natural Laxative. Included in the package are Senna tea bags. Drink a bag each morning and at night. Senna tea works as a natural laxative to help break layers of accumulated waste matter in the stomach and intestinal track. Start with a mild brew, steeping for only 2-3 minutes on the first day and gradually increasing steeping time by a minute or two thereafter. Follow this gradual process to avoid getting cramps. If you have a sensitive stomach and cannot consume Senna tea, you may want to try a salt water flush each morning and have one cup of Senna tea at night.
Salt Water Flush
Drinking water that has the same salinity as your body works as an excellent laxative. It cannot be absorbed and passes right through your system, clearing the intestinal tract of layers of debris and accumulated waste matter. To make a salt water flush, add 2 level teaspoons of non-iodised sea salt to one litre of lukewarm pure water. Mix well and drink the entire mixture. Try massaging your belly and colon to loosen accumulated waste matter. Within a half hour to an hour, the salt water will prompt you to eliminate several times.
Exercise
Do not overexert yourself physically during your Neera Detox Program. Use this time instead to walk, do stretches or like exercises to improve blood circulation and aid in the process of eliminating waste products.
Dry Brushing
Dry brushing promotes lymphatic drainage and helps to loosen the toxins stored in fat pockets under your skin. Use a natural bristle brush or a loofah to brush the skin of your entire body starting from the feet, moving upwards towards the heart. Repeat this every morning and night before your bath.
Sauna or Steam Bath
A sauna or steam bath is a relaxing way of removing toxins through your skin and helps to alleviate bodily aches during the detox.
