/5Regeneration during a body cleanse
During a body cleanse, the body is detoxed with the help of certain foods and weight loss detox drinks. In daily life, we ingest toxins and harmful substances both through our environment and poor nutrition. A body cleanse helps break down these contaminants more quickly and eliminate them from the body, for example by detoxing heavy metals. With one of our spa therapy packages you combine two aspects: a holiday in a beautiful place and doing something great for your health.
Definition: What is a body cleanse?
In professional jargon, detoxification is defined as physiological metabolism and secretion of harmful substances during a biological transformation.
Colloquially, this refers to a targeted cleansing of the body. The cleansing of harmful substances, such as cosmetics, fast food or pesticides, takes place through the kidneys and liver. This is usually referred to as a "detox".
The beginning of the detox diet - How it all began
Hippocrates' theory of humors in 400 B.C., Galen's human medicine around 150 A.D. or Hildegard von Bingen in the 12th century: They all saw in an imbalance and an excess of certain body fluids as the origin of diseases. In the 16th century, Paracelsus finally coined the term.
So it has been known for thousands of years that a body can become "infected."
Today, millions of people use a self-prescribed short-term therapy to cleanse their bodies. Variants such as raw food detox, intestinal liver detox or Ayurvedic detox are used.
The reasons are just as varied as the methods, people looking to detox heavy metals from their blood or simply embark on a weight loss cleanse. All natural detoxes have the same aim, to help support your body in its natural processes to rid itself of harmful or unnecessary toxins and byproducts.
Indications and contraindications for body cleanses
There are many reasons for toxins in the body - malnutrition, metabolic byproducts, environmental toxins, drugs and pathogens to name a few. These factors can not only affect general well-being, but also cause acne, skin problems such as eczema, diarrhea and chronic inflammation.
The indications for a cleanse detox are as varied as the causes. Clinics and hotels are well prepared for different groups of indications.
Detox treatments have shown to be effective with the following problems:
- Digestive problems
- Metabolic disorders
- Excess weight
- Sleep disorders
- Spine problems and back pain
- Skin problems
A detoxification diet holiday is not the right path for everyone. When in doubt, you should discuss your hotel detox treatment with your doctor beforehand to avoid unwanted side effects.
A supervised detox holiday usually has no side effects. However, you may experience nausea and difficulty concentrating during your detox phase. The medical experts at the hotel and spa will be able to help you navigate these symptoms and also provide you with personalized care and advice.
People with the following medical conditions should definitely seek medical advice from a trusted physician before embarking on a detox diet:
- Anorexia
- Eating disorders
- Depression
- Anemia
- Cancer
Detox hotels: Here's where to stay while on your natural detox
Experience a detoxification spa at a hotel, at a spa center, at a clinic or at a spa resort.
The facilities can be right by the sea or set in idyllic greenery and feature everything your heart desires, such as a wellness room with sauna and swimming pool.
You are usually provided with full board. If you are doing a detox fast at a spa hotel, you will be served special meals or weight loss detox drinks. All meals are especially designed by medical experts and chefs to remove toxins from your body and support your liver and organs in the process.
In addition to the team of therapists, spa clinics also have their own medical specialists who will assist you in all matters. Complementary offerings at the hotel often include Kneipp water therapy treatments, baths, liver compresses, as well as active programs with yoga, Nordic walking and water gymnastics. They will also advise you on the best detox cleanse for you and help optimize your diet and treatments to your specific needs for optimal results.
Content and procedure of your toxic cleanse
The schedule of different body cleanses is often the same. The vacation begins with a medical consultation and one of the first treatments thereafter is likely a colon cleanse, then the fasting period begins, during which your diet consists of various juices, smoothies, soups and light meals. Regional and national dishes form the basis of the cooked meals, in addition, it is very important to take a large amount of water.
You can have your diet plan individually created by the hotel's own experts and choose from a variety of recipes.
Wellness packages, Ayurveda treatments and sporting activities accompany and support your retreat. Book your next spa treatment, regenerate yourself during your journey and return to everyday life full of new energy.
