Headaches While Doing The Master Cleanse
Jul 22nd, 2007 by Raylen
Here’s a question about one of the more common master cleanse side effects - headaches.
I completed the Master Cleanse yesterday. I am so looking forward the the soup!
I had a headache that seemed to start in my right ear and go down my neck. I would come and go but I seemed to have it almost every night. It became very intense when I stood up from bed. I can actually still feel it now. Will it go away? Do you know what would cause this?
Other than the headache the Cleanse was wonderful. I lost about 12 pounds.
Thanks for all the information.

Headaches usually happen early in the cleanse, and for most people go away after 3 or 4 days. The severity of the headaches varies from person to person, but there are a few common factors that can cause them.
If you drink a lot of cafien you might experience headaches when you do the master cleanse because your body is going through a withdrawal of sorts.
If this is your first time doing a detox diet you’re likly to experience headaches. In the short time it takes to do the master cleanse your body will go through a massive internal cleaning. This is a good thing, but it can be uncomfortable because years of waste that’s been dormant inside your body is now being ushered out by your bodies cleansing mechanisms.
Stress can also lead to headaches. Like I mentioned above your body will be taxed by the master cleanse so try to not to push yourself too hard.
i live in india and keen to do the cleanse but we dont get maple syrup here what do i use instead??
I had headaches several times during my 10 day cleanse and I broke down and took ibuprofen once and aspirin the next time. The headaches went away immediately. I lost 20 pounds during my 10 day cleanse. Be good to yourself!
I just started the master cleanse today and i wanted to know if the lemonade should be as spicy as it tastes. It tates really strong.
i wanted to try this master cleanse.. but i have a dry throat problem and i am a frequent beer drinker. i drink 4-6 beers once a week.. but i am aware that i need to stop it while im on the process, . my concern is .. will that be safe to go back to my habits even just on ocassionally only? cuz my friends bday is coming up .i also have a digestion problem.. i dont poop regulary..
The cleanse will do you good. Hopefully you’vve read the book comltely? If you haven’s you need to prior to starting. All your questions will be abswered there. Why would you want to go back to these activities you call habits?
