The Miessence Detox Guide

TAKE THE VITALITY CHALLENGE

AND DETOX TODAY!

Detox symptoms occur when your organs and cells release toxins at a greater rate than your body can eliminate them, so they get recirculated making you feel a little off your game.

Don’t worry. This is a normal and healthy process. Your body is doing exactly what it’s designed to do.

For most people, the detox symptoms will last only a short while. Please know that if you bear through this detox period, you WILL emerge on the other side, better, clearer, more energised and healthier than before.

Some commonly reported healing symptoms people experience during a detox include:

• Tiredness, lethargy

• General aches and pains

• Headaches

• Symptoms of an existing illness may flare up

• Skin eruptions such as pimples, cysts and rashes

• Excess mucous, phlegm, sinus conditions, dry mouth, coating on the tongue

• Sticky, dark or loose stools, frequent bowel movements, gas, cramps, diarrhoea

• Disturbed sleep, strange dreams

• Sensitivity to heat and cold

• Irritability and mood swings

The human body is very good at knowing what it needs to do to heal itself and will do so with the right support. But there are plenty of other things you can do to help:

• Be still and breathe. Calm your body and calm your mind. Rest as much as possible and consider regular meditation. Slow, deep breathing is an excellent way to calm the nervous system.

• Eat lightly. You may feel your appetite wax and wane during this process. Light broths such as organic chicken and vegetable and non-irritating foods such as quinoa or millet are ideal.

• Drink plenty of water. Ideally, spring water is best, otherwise filtered water is vitally important. You should aim for about two litres a day.

• Avoid pain killers that mask symptoms. It might be tempting to pop an aspirin, paracetamol or ibuprofen to alleviate the symptoms but it will hinder the cleansing process and prolong the discomfort.

• Treat yourself! This a part of the new you – a massage not only feels wonderful, but it is also an excellent way to help relieve aches and pains you might experience

• Dry skin brushing daily before a shower helps remove dead skin cells and boosts circulation.

• Relaxing baths with salts that contain plenty of minerals will help reduce symptoms as well as nourish your body.

The healing process is as unique as each individual, so some people might experience many symptoms and others hardly any at all. If you do have concern about the type or duration of detox systems you might be experiencing then consult with a trusted health practitioner.
