2020 OmniCleanse - My Personal Journey (Day 5)

​Day 5 is in the books!  Day 1 & 2 were easy, but as I was part way through day 3, I noticed that I was a bit more impatient than normal.  A bit of lavender essential oil, a warm bath, and extra sleep went a long way in alleviating that issue.  Yesterday (day 4), I had a more serious headache than usual.  This is normal when going through a detoxification process.  Drinking more water and getting exercise helps lighten this, along with either peppermint tea or peppermint essential oil.  When doing a detox, it is vital to drink enough water!  I know I have said this many times, but it is so important.  Your body needs this to help clean out your system. 
During a detox, do not be surprised if you find yourself requiring more sleep.  Your body is working hard, which is a good thing.  Last night, I slept for 10 hours!  It was amazing!  And it was much needed.  As I head into the next few days, my goal is to get at least 8 hours of sleep each night.  This should be my goal on a regular basis, but it often ends up being closer to 7 hours.  Remember that the hours of 10:00 p.m. – 2:00 a.m. are your prime healing time.  This means that those 4 hours are worth twice of that before and after.  However, this doesn’t mean that you should be sleeping ONLY those 4 hours!  Aim for 6-8 hours of sleep as part of your regular routine.
I’m heading into day 6, knowing that days 6-9 can be the most challenging.  The OmniCleanse increases the capsules and detoxification drink during these days to help work through these 4 days.  The dietary recommendations also are a bit more limited during this time to help your body clean out toxins.   It is possible to go through this detox without changing your diet and only taking the supplements.  You will see some benefits, but not nearly as much as following the expert advice included.  It is much easier for the body to begin the healing process if it isn’t dealing with more toxins coming in.  Think of it as only taking out part of the garbage every week but adding more to a pile in your house.  The stink would never be gone!  If you are considering taking supplements to detox, consider changing lifestyle along with it to get the most out of it.  It can be difficult to make these changes, but you will benefit in the long run.  You are worth it!
