Detox Symptoms?????

[So Delightedly Raw]

Yesterday, on my 24th day of 100% raw, I developed a rose colored rash covering both legs, sometimes a little itchy. Today the rash is still there - maybe a little less. Besides the raw food diet, I’ve been using the sauna at the gym almost daily for the last week and half, which I understand also helps the body detox and is also very relaxing.

Has anyone else experienced symptoms like this? Is it detox (- I hope)? I haven’t changed my diet -- still on green smoothies mostly, and I still feel very, very energized, relaxed, and healthy.

Thanks for any feedback! :p

Sounds like that is more than likely what it is. Everyone detoxes differently - some rashes, some acne, some headaches, etc.

I think the saunas will definitely help to get the process over with more efficiently!

It sounds like it is probably detox.
My 3rd week raw (the 1st time I did the challenge), I developed a rash
on my neck.

Yes sauna's will help detox you faster.

You know what?

Our skin is the largest organ of our bodies so it stands to reason this is detox. Your body is trying to find a way to expell the toxins and so it comes out in the form of a rash.

I had sorta the same thing, but my skin itched for a few days like millions of bugs were crawling all over me, it was miserable. This is when I was first going raw, like the second week.

Thanks so much, Rawkinlocs, Punky, and Green Life, for your feedback. It's very reassuring, and I really appreciate it! I went back to the sauna today and it worsened.

I will live with this and whatever other detox comes along as long as I have to, because I feel so great otherwise on this raw food diet.:p

Sounds like a rashonal explanation ;) I sometimes expel toxins in sweat or pimples, but not a rash.

A few of you know I have not been a raw vegan for about 6 months and now I have returned and pursuing 100% rawvegan. I have been about 90% raw vegan for about 2 days now and already got nausea and lightheaded. BUT! I also got euphoriaaaaaaaaa and mucho happiness already.!!


Happiness to you all!!!
