When we think of Natural Healing,it is important to understand Detoxification. A Toxin is a poisonous substance stored in our body. All wrong living, may it be wrong eating, wrong thinking, wrong or excessive medication, physical stress, mental stress, suppressed emotions, contribute to formation of toxins and because usually we do not care to get rid of these toxins, they build up to give rise to a new illness, now and then.
Since natural healing is an effort to restore the body, mind and soul to their natural state, to some extent or the other, natural healing tends to detoxify the body from various toxins. This detoxification can and usually does create temporary increase in the disease like symptoms. Since these symptoms occur mostly on the physical or mental plane they appear like symptoms of a disease, because it is the same physical or mental plane on which the disease manifests itself and any unusual happening on this plane is taken as a disease by us. But it is important to understand the process of detoxification and realize its importance, because it is through this process Natural Healing works. A medicine would not cure if it does not initiate a chemical reaction within you, likewise this is a reaction which the Natural Healing initiates within you. As with medicine, the reaction can be alarmingly high in a few cases, so can be the case with Natural Healing.
Let us consider a case of bone fracture. Pain was produced at the time of accident or injury which resulted in the fracture, as long as the bone stays without any first aid or medical care, the pain is again there and when the bone is being put back in its proper place, there is pain again, but every pain is not same. A pain resulted in injury, another pain was the result of the injury and the third pain resulted in the process of curing or setting the fracture right.
One must realize that detoxification is a cleansing process which is an unpleasant, but a favorable symptom. The most common of these symptoms, observed by me in the process of Natural Healing have been:
*Headaches.
*Nausea.
*Mouth ulcers.
*Burning sensation in urine and/ or stool.
*Boils.
*Itch or other skin symptoms.
*Diarrhea.
*Vomiting.
*Fever.
*Weakness.
*Restlessness.
*Increase of actual symptoms; like pain in arthritis, discharge from a boil, frequent stools in chronic digestive disorders.
*Depressed and weeping moods.
*Others...
These symptoms can often be accompanied by weakness/debility which may be quite severe in some cases.
It is a good idea to switch over to Natural Diet (See under the label 'Diets') for some time and then take some cleansing diet like Macrobiotic Diet (See under label 'Diets'), that will help in early cleansing of the toxins; if you find the process of detoxification continuing too long. Do not start with Macrobiotic Diet before taking Natural Healing, as in that case the cleansing resulting from Macrobiotic Diet may be quite severe.
It is good to have an understanding and temperament to go through detoxification, as it will be ultimately of benefit. All that you need is little understanding and some determination.
Whenever in doubt consult your physician.
Things can be managed well by trying things with precaution and starting on a mild dose, discontinue Natural Healing when you find things unbearable and start again. This way you will feel accustomed to the process of detoxification and you will be able to manage the cleansing process per your convenience.
Duration of Detoxification is also something which varies individually. A very chronic situation might take 6-7 months of detoxification and one to two years to heal. It does not mean that symptoms of detoxification will continuously remain for 6-7 months, but now and then some symptom or the other will keep popping up.
Those who are seriously interested in regaining Natural Health should make a point to keep a written record of symptoms & improvements.
