So after my emotional breakdown yesterday, I decided to try adding Sasparilla to my detox drink figuring I needed more help in the detox department. It is supposed to help relieve herx symptoms. I had read that it also has a few killing properties so I did not add a full dropper like I do with the parsley, burbur, pinella, etc. (THANK GOODNESS!)
Mind you, I only used a few drops....HOLY HERX!
Last night before I went to bed I felt like I had the flu. Upper body ached so bad, down to my bones. Despite having used IR sauna yesterday, foot soak, and dry brushing as well as the other herbs in my detox drink, I woke up this morning with a horrific lower back ache. I can feel twitching and spasms if I try to bend over. It is throbbing as I am sitting here typing. Reminds me of how I felt in my former life after lifting lower body with heavy deadlifts.
I guess the good news is, it was a physical herx and not another emotional one. Don't need to add any fuel to that fire! Just thought I would share in case any one is considering it for "detoxing" or is looking for something new to stir things up ;)
Anyone else who has tried it, please feel free to share, I am curious as to your reaction(s)!
