You may or may not have heard this term from a therapist or literature on Reflexology. I usually find that books don't explain this very well. During a course of Reflexology you could experience a healing crisis. This is where the body releases a mass of toxins in one go. This does not happen to every client. It can occur at any stage of a course of reflexology and lasts about 24 hours. It also usually only happens once. This is nothing to worry about and though mildly unpleasant at the time, is actually quite positive.

The symptoms of a healing crisis include:

• Mild flu like symptoms
• Sinus congestion
• Frequent urination
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhoea
• Headaches
