Healing crisis
This is a process where a patient on medication becomes worse instead of recovering from the sickness. This happens a few days after taking the medication. The situation may be critical or not, depending on an individual, and may not require any medical attention if the symptoms are not so critical. It usually happens when one is on herbal medication rather than on drugs, so people who are taking herbal supplements should be aware of this.
Why does this happen?
Well, the human body is a complex system, so not everything has been understood about how it works. But sometimes, when the body receives medication for something, in order to fight off the disease and detoxify itself, it creates pathways or channels for the waste to escape. These pathways may be in form of wounds that discharge a watery fluid or a bleeding from a certain site of the body (for women this could be from the uterus).
Can one recover from this?
Most certainly, yes! The healing crisis is a temporary situation that can last for three days for most people but can also last more than that for some. Once the person recovers from it, it means one has recovered from the disease that was being treated.
Who can experience this?
Any person can experience a healing crisis. Be sure to talk to your doctor when you see a worsening of your symptoms after starting your medication.
Are herbs dangerous?
This could be a topic for another day, but in brief, herbs are not dangerous as they are popularized to be. In fact, herbs are the most safest form of treatment since they are taken in their natural form, and no additives or sweeteners are added. The human body tends to understand herbs better than most forms of treatment because they are usable and easily utilized by the liver. Of course, there are dangerous wild herbs and should be avoided or used wisely. Examples are the most famous *Datura*, which can be injurious if not deadly. You should always buy/get your herbs from sources you can trust.
