Detoxing can actually bring on herx like reactions. I've dealt with this a lot. It's due to a body with a high toxin load, so it's also a sign that you really need to not only keep up with the detox baths, but incorporate other means of detoxing as well.
This is what I have to do daily just to keep up with the amount of toxins that are being produced by being in treatment for Lyme:
Dry skin brushing
detox soaks
drink at least 64 ounces of lemon water
oil pulling
activated charcoal
When I first started treatments I herxed for 3 weeks, and had to do other things to help my body detox as well.
If the herx like response is too much, try not staying in the water so long, or switching to the foot soaks for a while until you can get more toxins removed.
