The Herx Reaction: Detox and Die off

from Today’s Gut Health Tip · host Melissa Hall Klepacki, M.Ac.

When we detox or kill bacteria we often experience a reaction known as a Herx.  This is why you can't rush any type of detox.  It might be joint pain or headaches or flu like symptoms.  If we take it slow enough, are pooping daily and supplementing then we should do just fine but it's important to know that these healing reactions can occur and you need to proceed slowly though a Herx. Think of other forms of detox: lots of lemon water, sweating via a workout/sauna/epsom bath, activated charcoal, citrus pectin.   You'll need a journal to write down your thoughts and intentions. I have started an amazon list which is here: http://a.co/7FcWLg3   to keep track of the products I'll be using for January.  Feel free to check it out. Also you can follow me on instagram where I'll be sharing my stories all January. www.instagram.com/theguudcompany
