Healing Aids... - Fasting - Before The Fast

Fasting should be done when you have time to slow done, relax, and reduce excess stress. You may not feel 100% during your fast and it is important to focus your energies on the healing process. Additional demands may cause further stress to your body, reducing the effectiveness of the fast.

If you are not familiar with fasting, you should conduct one only under the supervision of your naturopath or other health practitioner. Generally, three-day fasts are not long enough to cause much concern if not carried out properly. Longer-term fasts should be supervised to ensure a problem-free session.
