Your Immune System in Focus
The importance of your immune system for your organism cannot be overstated. Imagine it as a shield around you. It constantly protects you from harmful substances and pathogens.
It fights or neutralizes anything that could harm you, ensuring you remain healthy. As you can see, your immune system is quite busy.


Unfortunately, we tend to take it for granted and pay little attention to it. In doing so, we can easily overlook that our immune system may already be weakened or even compromised. This, in turn, opens the door to illnesses and pain.

“A strong immune system doesn’t happen by chance, but through targeted regeneration. When the body is relieved and the doshas are balanced, new strength can be built up sustainably.”
Elisabeth Naschberger-Mauracher, European Ayurveda Expert & Managing Director of the European Ayurveda Resort Sonnhof in Tyrol
Preparations and Process of the Immune Power Retreat
Since in Ayurveda, body, mind, and soul are inextricably linked, your Immune Power Retreat begins with an extensive consultation.
Our expert team specializes in determining your individual dosha constitution using traditional pulse diagnosis. Based on this and further information, a personalized retreat program will be created for you.


Matching your individual constitution, Ayurvedic herbs specifically prepared for your needs are integrated into your meals. Additionally, you will receive a vitality elixir for three days, as well as European Ayurveda® immune boosters to properly invigorate your immune system.
To detoxify your body from old burdens, a cleansing day (Virechana) is scheduled. During this, your body is freed from toxins and excess Pitta, and your intestinal function is rebuilt. Heat therapy (Svedana) further supports the detoxification process.
To keep you physically active and further intensify the cleansing process, yoga and meditation sessions are scheduled according to the weekly program. For your well-being, you can always use the Ayurveda Spa area and enjoy a nourishing Ayurvedic diet throughout your stay.
Immune Power Retreat Treatments in Detail
It is not only external factors that can strain our immune system. Depending on one’s personality, psychological stress or chronic pain can also throw the energy balance so far off that we become even more vulnerable.


At the Ayurveda Resort Sonnhof, there is a diverse selection of treatments that are used in the Immune Power Retreat, tailored to your anamnesis. Included in the ten-day retreat are definitely up to 19 treatments, which can include the following, perfectly suited to your needs:
Detoxifying Treatments
Detoxifying treatments on offer include, for example, Pizzichilli or Sekka, a synchronous oil massage, also known as the “Royal Body Oil Pour.” Indeed, the massage under a warm stream of oil is very effective. The treatment has detoxifying, relaxing, and anti-inflammatory effects.
Excellent for freeing oneself from burdensome energy is the Upana salt-oil scrub, drawing on the power of the Alps to cleanse negative energy and strengthen the immune system.
The Udanavata© abdominal special massage helps with abdominal and digestive complaints and also releases blockages on a psychological level. Furthermore, it aids with lack of energy, sleep disturbances, inner restlessness, and feelings of heaviness.
Calming Massages for Stress and Tension
During the European Ayurveda® Anti-Stress Massage, the focus is particularly on the head, neck, shoulders, and strengthening your nervous system, as stress and hectic pace can also compromise your immune system. Herbal oil is used here.


The Synchronous Abhyanga is also an Ayurvedic full-body oil massage that particularly helps with restlessness and stimulates circulation and digestion.
To balance body, mind, and soul, and to activate and harmonize energy centers, there is the Prana Healing Massage©. You choose your personal chakra essence here yourself.
True stress relievers are forehead oil pours (Shirodhara), which have a very calming effect and help against migraines.
Also with Mukabhyanga, an Ayurvedic head, face, and foot massage, warm oil is used to treat conditions such as head ailments, tension headaches, neck tension, and insomnia.
The highly effective full-body treatment Jambira Pinda Sveda, which uses warm lemon poultice stamps, also helps against tension.
Massages for Specific Body Parts for Specific Ailments
The European Ayurveda® Prista© back special massage also helps against blockages in the body. It is a very effective and intensive treatment with warm herbal stamps.


If problems are concentrated more on the legs and feet, the European Ayurveda® Gamathi© leg special treatment is a way to counteract this.
For complaints such as spinal, joint, and nerve pain, headaches, and similar issues, Khadi-Vasti is on the program. A dough ring filled with oil is placed on the affected area. The essences of the oil penetrate and have a local anti-inflammatory and thus pain-relieving effect.
Holistic Care During the Immune Power Retreat
Throughout your entire retreat, you will also receive therapeutic support, nutritional counseling according to European Ayurveda®, and a final consultation. When will your Immune Power Retreat at Sonnhof begin?
