Although it is rare, you may experience some side effects after a treatment. The symptoms can vary and are a result of your body eliminating toxins. This is normal and a sign that your body is trying to bring its self into a balanced state. The degree of symptoms experienced can also vary; they may be slight or more involved. Most symptoms will subside with in a few hours although you may not feel totally 'normal' until the next day. Any symptoms you do experience will lessen with each subsequent treatment.

The symptoms may include:

Tiredness or lethargy, headaches, Excess energy, nausea, Hot or cold flushes, dizzy or faintness, Tearful or emotionally drained, excessive thirst, Change in bowl or bladder function, lack of appetite, Stiffness or aching joints and muscles, particularly if they have been worked vigorously.

To help counteract these symptoms and gain the most from your treatment, the most important thing you can do is listen to your body; if you feel tired, sleep. If your muscles ach them rest them. Ti is also important to make sure you drink plenty to keep your fluid levels up. Water of fruit juices are best, try to avoid stimulants such as caffeine. If you smoke, try to avoid doing so for a few hours. If it is possible to do so, walking to and from your treatment is advisable. Not only is it gentile exercise that will help you relax before hand, it may help to clear symptoms such as nausea afterwards. Some symptoms may affect your ability to drive immediately afterwards so walking may be the safest option. Avoid strenuous exercise for three to four hours after a treatment as this extra excretion on your body may increase the intensity of the symptoms you may be suffering.
