🚨 Detox Protocols & Herxheimer Symptoms – Part I: Supporting Your Skin (Your 3rd Kidney) You’re full-on into your ozone or detox protocol and… YIKES. Suddenly you’re hit with: - Intense headaches - Debilitating fatigue - Itchy red rashes - Irritability through the roof - That overall blah, stuck feeling Sound familiar? Yep, these can be Herxheimer symptoms — "Herxing" is what happens when your body is killing off so many viruses and parasites that your elimination pathways just can’t keep up with the die off. 👉 Don’t panic. In Part II of this series, I’ll show you exactly how to clear those symptoms fast. But here’s the key: not every headache, rash, or sluggish day is Herxheimer. Sometimes it’s just your body needing extra support. So instead of blaming every symptom on Herx, let’s focus on the real solution: 🔑 olution: Activate the 5 Flavors. Drain the 5 Detox Systems. Your body detoxes through 5 MAJOR SYSTEMS: Skin, Colon, Liver, Lymphatic System, and Lungs. And the two most important flavors to activate? - Sour → Lymphatic flow with Raw Lemonade/Limeade - Bitter → Liver support with Celery Juice, Bitter Greens, and Lemon Balm Glycerin Tincture Today, we’re starting with your Skin — your largest organ of elimination, your “third kidney,” and the exhaust valve when your liver or kidneys get overloaded - that blah feeling and headaches are cleared when you can REALLY OPEN UP YOUR SKIN and let it breathe a little!!! 🧖♀️ 🧖♀️ 5 Steps to Supercharge Skin Detox 1. Exfoliate to Breathe Again Dead skin traps toxins and clogs pores. A simple warm washcloth scrub or sea salt mixed with lavender or frankincense oil clears away buildup and re-opens your skin’s “breathing channels.” 2. Lymphatic Massage with Oils Grapefruit, cedarwood, and juniper oils wake up your lymph system, improve circulation, and prep your sweat glands before ozone sauna. Bonus: this technique revives dull, aging skin and firms tissue after 40. (Comment if you want my exact lymphatic massage oil recipe!)
