An Ayurveda detox cure consists of 3 steps:
- Pre-cure: anamnesis and preparation for the cleansing day
- Main cure: Cleansing day with Ayurvedic herbs, light food, abdominal massage and meditation
- Post-cure: intestinal rebuilding with nourishing Ayurvedic meals
Pre-cure: Get ready
Before your detox treatment begins, you will have a comprehensive consultation with our experts. Through pulse diagnosis, discussions and further anamnesis, we will discuss what your doshas need to be strengthened.
Depending on which treatment you have chosen, your treatment plan will also be prepared. Detoxifying treatments can include an Ayurvedic foot massage, an abdominal massage, a body scrub or a forehead oil pour.
To begin your cleansing process, your body needs preparation. In the so-called pre-cure, you will therefore be prepared for the coming days and especially for the Virechana cleansing day.
This includes the intake of ghee. The high-quality butter fat binds toxins and waste products in your body, known as ama. It is later excreted and thus cleanses the intestines from the inside out.
You may feel tired and exhausted during the preparation. But that doesn't matter. You will feel your body, mind and soul begin the process of removing the old, the bad and the superfluous. Space is created for the good in you and your environment.
Main cure: the cleansing begins
One of the most important days during your detox cure is the Virechana cleansing day. On this day, you fast strictly and your body gets rid of the so-called ama. The morning begins with a detox cocktail. Soothing herbs and spices get your bowels moving and have a laxative effect.
On the cleansing day, you can rest as much as you like. We will give you a few simple exercises to further stimulate your intestinal peristalsis. You may experience circulatory problems or headaches. However, this is a sign that the cleansing is beginning to take effect.
To ensure you have enough energy, we provide you with our in-house energy drink: the cocktail of water, lemon, salt, pepper, ginger and honey invigorates the senses, balances the doshas and helps you to keep your circulatory system stable. In general, it is important that you drink a lot.
At lunchtime you will be served a light, soothing rice soup. In the afternoon, we pamper you with an abdominal massage to support the detoxification process. The cleansing day ends with a rice and vegetable soup in the evening.
On this day, you have plenty of time for yourself. Yoga and meditation will also help you to free yourself from mental baggage.
Cleanse yourself of old thoughts and patterns. Perhaps you can make a fresh start. Virechana is not just about the physical cleansing of old ballast, but also the mental cleansing.
Post-cure: Your path to a new you
As soon as your intestines have flushed all the waste products and toxins out of your body, it's time to rebuild yourself. During the detox cure, your diet plan includes warm meals throughout. In the morning, fortify yourself with porridge and fresh fruit. This is the ideal energy booster for the day!
At lunchtime we spoil you with a 3-course menu. The dishes are exclusively light vegetarian fare. This includes seasonal vegetables, spices and high-quality cereals. After the cleansing process, your gastrointestinal tract needs gentle food that also provides energy. In the evening, our kitchen will prepare a tasty soup for you.
