Jarisch-Herxheimer Reaction

A Jarisch-Herxhiemer reaction is a sudden, exaggerated inflammatory response. I call it a healing crisis but you may also have heard it called: a detox reaction, a“herxing”, or a cleansing reaction.

Adolf Jarisch and Karl Herxheimer are credited with the discovery of the “Jarisch-Herxheimer” reaction. During the treatment of infectious diseases, they noted there was an increased inflammatory response which they believed was due to the release of toxins from killed or dying microorganisms.

Symptoms may include: increased joint or muscle pain, irritability, concentration problems, dizziness, skin rashes and other flu-like symptoms. If you are experiencing a herxing, just remember they will diminish with time.

What Causes a Herxing?

A healing crisis can happen when you are fighting infections. If your body is releasing toxins too quickly, you might feel as if your illness suddenly got worse or has been re-activated.

Healing crisis’ are common when treating Lyme disease because of multiple infections. Even though the crisis’ may not be unavoidable, they can still be manageable.
