Detoxification and Healing Reactions

These two concepts have become commonplace in the natural foods and healing marketplace. But he latest and greatest concepts are often nothing more than poorly defined buzzwords for many consumers. In this article we'll try for a brief definition and description of healing reactions and detoxification.

The body is always engaged in a dynamic process of maintaining homeostasis, or internal equilibrium. Countless mechanisms and feedback loops help the body regulate its balance regarding pH, electrolyte levels, CO2 levels, and hormone levels to name just a few of the axes that need to be adjusted. This balancing is largely unnoticed and only comes to our attention when the movement towards homeostasis is necessarily dramatic. A few examples of this are the scabbing and scarring that ensue when the skin is cut and vomiting when bad seafood is consumed.

Detoxification is simply the aspect of maintaining health and balance that has to do with ridding the body of undesirable material. It is a process that is happening in all of us all the time. What is not commonly understood, however, is that this detoxification happens with physical toxins, it happens with mental and emotional ones as well. This detoxification of unresolved mental and emotional data is the primary focus of Siddatech remedies.

What most folks refer to as detoxification is an acceleration of this natural process. When most of us say, "healing reaction or healing crisis" we are referring to a movement towards balance that in and of itself causes discomfort. Throwing up poisonous food is certainly an uncomfortable process for most people but it is a necessary process in order for us to be healthy.

Nowadays, many people are trying out various kinds of cleanses, healing modalities and supplements to rid their body of toxins. Without endorsing any specific approaches, we can whole-heartedly say that this is a really good idea. Our air, water and food supply have been touched by world-wide industrialization and virtually everyone's body burden of toxins exceeds our ability to handle exposure.

In the context of the Siddatech line of flower essences, healing reactions occur primarily on the level that the remedies act upon. In other words, as the stress that the Siddatech products release moves up and out of the body, the person's ability to process that stress may be exceeded and they may experience the release as changes in energy level or mood.

Sidda Detox is unique among the Siddatech line because of its focus on broad-spectrum detoxification. While all Siddatech remedies can indirectly cause detoxification as a result of the upgrade of specific bodily systems, Detox is meant to cause this throughout the entire body. As a result of this, it is quite common for people to experience "healing reactions" with the Detox remedy. Such experiences include: strange dreams, waking up lethargic or conversely, very energized, foul smelling stool or urine. We even had one fellow report that his significant other thought he had a "metallic" scent upon waking up after a night of detox.

These healing or cleansing reactions are one important reason Detox is best taken only before bed and only three nights per week. If taken before bed, the body has a chance to relax deeply and the detoxification process can unfold more smoothly. If taken during the waking hours, there is a tendency to fight the process and make things more difficult.
