At a Glance: What Is a Detox Program at Sonnhof?
With a detox program at Sonnhof, you cleanse your body of physical and psychological burdens. Do you want to let go, relax, and set your life in a new, positive direction? Then a detox program is exactly the right choice. You can read a personal experience report here about the unique Sonnhof feeling.
An Ayurveda detox program takes place in 3 steps:
- Pre-treatment: Anamnesis and preparation for the cleansing day
- Main treatment: Cleansing day with Ayurvedic herbs, light meals, abdominal massage, and meditation
- Post-treatment: Intestinal restoration with nourishing Ayurvedic meals
Pre-treatment: Get Ready
Before your detox program begins, you will have a comprehensive consultation with our experts. Through pulse diagnosis, discussions, and further anamnesis, we determine what your Doshas need to be strengthened.
Depending on which program you have chosen, your treatment plan will also be prepared. Detoxifying treatments can include, for example, an Ayurvedic foot massage, an abdominal massage, a body scrub, or a Shirodhara (oil forehead pour).
“A good detox means not only relieving the body but also letting go mentally. It is precisely from this that new clarity, lightness, and inner strength can emerge.”
Elisabeth Naschberger-Mauracher, European Ayurveda Expert & Managing Director of the European Ayurveda Resort Sonnhof in Tyrol
To begin your cleansing process, your body requires preparation. In the so-called pre-treatment phase, you will therefore be attuned to the coming days and particularly to the Virechana cleansing day.
This includes, among other things, the intake of Ghee. This high-quality clarified butter binds toxins and metabolic waste in your body, known as Ama. It is later excreted, thus cleansing the intestines from the inside out.

During the preparation, you may feel tired and exhausted. But that is perfectly fine. You will feel how body, mind, and soul begin the process of removing the old, the harmful, and the superfluous. Space is created for the good within you and your environment.
Main Treatment: The Cleansing Begins
One of the most important days during your detox program is the Virechana cleansing day. On this day, strict fasting is observed, and your body rids itself of so-called Ama. The morning begins for you with a detox cocktail. Soothing herbs and spices get your intestines moving and have a laxative effect.
On the cleansing day, you may rest as much as you wish. We will provide you with a few simple exercises to further stimulate intestinal peristalsis. Circulatory issues or headaches may occur. However, this is a sign that the cleansing is beginning to take effect.
To ensure you have enough energy, we provide you with our house-made energy drink: the cocktail of water, lemon, salt, pepper, ginger, and honey revitalizes the senses, balances the Doshas, and helps you keep your circulatory system stable. In general, it is important that you drink plenty of fluids.
At lunchtime, you will receive a light, soothing rice soup. In the afternoon, we pamper you with an abdominal massage to support the detoxification process. You conclude the cleansing day with a rice and vegetable soup in the evening.
On this day, you have plenty of time for yourself. Yoga and meditation help you to further free yourself from emotional burdens.
Cleanse yourself of old thoughts and patterns as well. Perhaps you can dare to make a new start. Virechana involves not only physical but also mental cleansing of old burdens.
Post-treatment: Your Path to a New You
Once your intestines have flushed all waste and toxins from the body, it is time to rebuild yourself. During the detox program, your nutrition plan consistently provides for warm meals. In the morning, you strengthen yourself with porridge and fresh fruit. This is the ideal energy booster for the day!
At lunchtime, we pamper you with a 3-course menu. The dishes consist exclusively of light vegetarian fare. This includes seasonal vegetables, spices, and high-quality grains. After the cleansing process, your gastrointestinal tract requires gentle food that simultaneously provides energy. In the evening, our kitchen prepares a tasty soup for you.
