Western Detox
Europe is the best place for a Detox Retreat based on the teachings of the masters of therapeutic fasting:
J. Schroth – the Schroth Cure (wine, body wraps, water and exercises) F. X. Mayr – originally simple milk & bread fasting, now a modern cure S. Kneipp – hydrotherapy (water therapy ) and balneotherapy (bathing therapy) O. Buchinger – juice fasting
Thanks to the research of the European naturopaths, fasting has gained an entirely new dimension over the years. Before these findings, fasting was mainly associated with religious asceticism. The methods invented by Schroth, Mayr, Kneippand Buchinger have evolved into modern cures, however the principles of the treatments have been remained the same. The main principles of the cures inspired all kinds of fasting and detox cures which became popular in Europe and in the rest of the "Western" world. The original cures are available primarily in detox retreats in Germany, Austria and Hungary.
Eastern Detox
In the Far East detoxing was discovered a long time ago as a cure for various diseases. Ayurvedic teachings are believed to be based on the teachings of Indian God Brahma from 1700-1100 BC. The vedas (holy texts) are the source of the ayurvedic practice.
The most popular Ayurvedic cure is Panchakarma, which literally means five actions (for purification). Panchakarma is a complex, individual detoxifying cure with treatments and diet which match the patient’s type of constitution. Ayurvedic recipes for dishes, cosmetics and medicines vary depending on the region where the detox retreat is located. Indiaand Sri Lankaare the prime destinations for original cures, however we also offer several authentic Ayurvedic cures in Europe.
