Why Does a Healing Crisis Occur?
Toxin Release: As the body detoxifies, stored toxins are released into the bloodstream for elimination. This can temporarily overload the body's elimination systems, leading to symptoms.
Energy Redistribution: Energy that was previously used to suppress symptoms or maintain homeostasis is now available for healing, which can initially manifest as increased symptoms.
Regulation and Rebalancing: Holistic therapies often aim to restore balance and stimulate the body's self-healing mechanisms. This process can initially disrupt existing imbalances before achieving a new equilibrium.
Managing a Healing Crisis:
Rest and Hydration: Adequate rest and hydration help support the body's natural detoxification processes and aid in the elimination of toxins.
Supportive Therapies: Gentle therapies such as massage, gentle exercise (like yoga or walking), and relaxation techniques can help alleviate discomfort and support the body during the healing process.
Communication with Practitioner: It's essential to communicate openly with your holistic practitioner about any reactions or symptoms you experience. They can provide guidance and adjust treatments if necessary.
In holistic healing, a healing crisis is generally viewed as a positive sign that the body is responding to treatment and initiating the healing process. While uncomfortable, it often leads to significant improvements in overall health and well-being once resolved.
