What Are the Side Effects of a Lemon Detox Cleanse?
Quite a few naturopathic doctors and health care professionals acquainted with the lemon detox cleanse state that days 2, 3, and 7 are by and large the most challenging in terms of side effects. I thought it a good idea to list some of the most routine side effects experienced by those who go on the lemon detox diet.
Headache
The ordinary headache is a general side effect, especially for those new to the lemon detox cleanse. It is very ordinary in those who drink black tea or coffee on a regular basis.
Fatigue
Detoxing your body requires vitality, and given that your daily caloric intake is severely decreased, you may have bouts of fatigue for several days of the lemon detox cleanse. The experience of fatigue will quickly pass. Near the end of the cleanse, most people say they have increased vigor.
Cravings and Hunger
This varies from person to person. Hunger will usually subside after 3 days. Cravings may be the most rough side effect to tolerate, so it’s good to be psychologically ready for this possibility.
Rashes, Boils or Outbreaks
After a few days of detoxing, you might see skin irritations including boils, pimples or skin rashes. This is commonly usually the by-product of toxic waste material being removed out of the body through the skin.
Diarrhea
You might experience an increase in the frequence of your bowel movements and with runnier stools. Some people say they have watery bowel movements. Don’t be alarmed if you experience diarrhea for several days, but if the watery stools remains for longer than that, it might be a good idea to get the opinion of a health care practitioner.
A few other less experienced side effects of a lemon detox cleanse could include constipation, dizziness, memory loss, cramping, stomach pain, or nausea. If any of these side effects persist for more than several days, you may want to call your health care practitioner.
