Reflexology & Detoxing

[eunice]

I have a new client that likes to detox once a month i.e. a day just eating friut and drinking water/no alcohol or caffeine. She would also like reflexology around the same time to aid elimination. I have suggested a treatment of reflexology either a day before or after the detox just to prevent too many toxins being released and causing a healing crisis although the client herself would prefer to have the reflexology sesison on the same day. I have done this once so far and encouraged her to drink plenty of water - the client had a headache before treatment and it seemed to subside a little after the treatment. I would love to hear any of your thoughts on the ideal time to do the treatment.

Hi Akashall,

Welcome to the forums.

It sounds as if you are doing the 'right' thing already.

Treat your client as she requests, keep giving her plenty of water and, if there is a healing crisis, re-evaluate her treatment date with her in relation to her detoxing. Follow your intuition. She may be prepared to suffer any healing crisis that might occur as part of her detoxing.

It does seem a bit drastic to detox every month and only for a day - but she knows best what she wants and if she is happy .......................................... then it's OK.

I agree with Paul. Also, as she's used to the regular detox, she may not react as badly as you think.
