Post Treatment Advice

In order to get the most out of your treatment and to aid the healing process, it is advisable to:

• Drink plenty of water. This helps flush out the toxins that have been released from your cells into your system.
• Eat a light diet. This is to prevent energy needed for healing from going to your stomach to digest a heavy meal! Eat raw foods such as fruit and vegetables if possible for vitality and cleansing effects.
• Avoid tea and coffee. These are stimulants and should be avoided after a treatment. Drink herbal teas or fresh fruit/vegetable juice instead.
• Avoid alcohol and smoking.
• Rest and relax as much as possible. This allows the body to commence healing.
