Massage Therapy?!
Question: I just recently had a massage for the first time, and after I had it I felt really good and relaxed. Well then a day later, I felt crapy, and didn't have ANY energy at all, I even had diarrhea. I just felt really weak and frail. I remember after I had the massage the therapist told me to drink a lot of water, and I really didn't pay it any attention. But I heard that massaging the muscles will release toxins, is that true? Could that be why I felt soooo sick? I mean that was a week ago, and I feel fine now.

Yep you should drink your water after the massage. The reasoning behind this is: The massage releases the toxins back into the blood stream. The toxins are headed to your kidneys and are looking for a ride out of your body. If they don't get the ride, they will go back where they were and invite all of their cousins in for a pain party.
Drink drink drink...flush. AHHHH!!
not sure
I don't know for sure but I too have heard that massage releases toxins. Next time, drink water, take a sauna, bathe in epsom salts, and talk to the massage therapist about your last experience. Of course it could be coincidental -- maybe you just happened to get the flu.
I believe Massage as you say removes the toxins so you should replace them with water, you should try a Thai Massage, I thought She was going to pull my Arms & Legs out of there sockets.
Yes.
That's why you MUST drink a lot of water after a massage (at least 1 litre). That clears the toxins fast and smoothly. Without hydration, they will stay in the system and leave slowly and not smoothly.
Drink a lot now!! And use green herb teas. Fennel is good.
Dohh!!!
Hope you can lay hands on dark brown oil extracted from roasted coconut. Mix it with pure honey at ratio 1:2, coconut-honey. Leave mixture to blend for 24 hours, massage moderately as and when necessary. If available, massage with any cheap infra-red massager for some minutes before application of mixture. It works for us.
yes it is true, my friend here at work goes every wednesday and feels good for a day then feels like crap,
your best bet is to take 2 grams of Vitamin C a day, and it will open up your capillaries to release the poisen
