It’s not uncommon for some newcomers to AlkaWay water to experience detox symptoms. This usually occurs in the form of flu-like symptoms, sometimes a headache, fuzzy or wooly feelings.
We talked to Erica, our inhouse Naturopath about her thoughts on identifying the difference between detox and a bug.
Here’s what she said in simple form – the questions you can ask yourself.
1. Is there a headache?
Detox mostly always involves a headache.

2. Is there a fever or perspiration?

4. Is there Diarrhea?

What do you think of this? I remember my detox symptoms 15 years ago and they passed within a week, but I also remember having so much energy I was out of bed at 2 am!
