Detoxification reactions

Bowenwork Therapy encourages proper functioning of all body systems including those responsible for elimination of toxins.

Occasionally people feel detoxification reactions:

•          Aching muscles
•          Mild nausea
•          Mild headaches
•          Changes in body temperature
•          Minor changes in elimination

Increasing elimination of toxins without negative sensations is encouraged by:

•          Increased water intake
•          Walking 30 minutes each day 

Detoxification will only occur when your body has stored unnecessary materials.  Your body will function more effectively when these toxins have been released.
