Hi, I had some trouble with auto intoxication after taking a laxative many years ago and learned about this condition first hand. Toxins can go thru the bowel wall into the blood stream, so one possible answer to your question could be that the forumula is stirring things up or liquifying some part of the content of the bowel causing it to go into the blood stream which in turn causes a headache. I have gotten headaches from fasting 24 hours without taking a bowel cleanser so there is a connection. I could rid myself of the headache with an enema or by avoiding meat the day before a fast or by taking a lower bowel combination. Hope this helps.

Tons of pure water, and fibre to help bind the toxins in the stool. Enemas are beneficial but colonics are 20 times better yet. Watch your diet very closely. Relax and lots of deep breathing.

Whenever you take any herbal medication and it seems to much for you
Whether it’s a headache, migraine or any symptom,
This is wonderful, this is what most people are trying to get, a healing reaction
The old natural doctors like Bernard Jensen would also refer to this as a healing crisis
I call it GREAT!

If it becomes too intense and you cannot tolerate it
Cut the dosage of herbs you are taking in half and start there
Lapis’s answer was good too, lots of pure water, beep breathing
And give yourself a high enema.

Juice and water fasting/flushing is also helpful the day before you start
Make sure that you are also STOPPING doing the things that make you sick
And get on a GREAT food program

JUST A NOTE,
there are many people manufacturing my herbal formula,
and I have sampled many of them and they ranged from fair to terrible. I have only one company where I make all of my clinical herbal formulae myself, the same way I have been doing this for decades, and it is the American Botanical Pharmacy.
These are the only herbal formula that I refer to when I answer questions and if you or someone else are using one of my herbal formulae, BUT not using a herbal formula that I personally make . . .
then there can be too many variables.

Keep in touch and GET WELL
Your Colon Cleansing is only the beginning of your healing adventure!
