Our Most Popular F.X. Mayr Fasting Offers
Background of the Mayr method
The F.X. Mayr cure was founded by the physician Franz Xaver Mayr (1875-1965). When the medical doctor had successfully completed his studies in Graz, he devoted himself entirely to the intestines. He was already firmly convinced at that time that a large proportion of illnesses were related to an imbalanced intestinal flora. During the First World War, for example, he recognised that sparing the intestines by fasting had a positive effect on our organism; because those soldiers who fasted under duress regained their health much faster. Thus, the main aim of the Mayr method quickly became clear: intestinal rehabilitation. Today we know for sure: The intestine is the centre of our immune system and a healthy intestine is the key to health and beauty.
The milk-bread diet
At that time, milk and bread rolls were an integral part of this fasting method. The nutrient content of the milk at that time counteracted the danger of an excessively one-sided, low-nutrient diet and the bread roll was used to practise proper chewing. Nowadays, many people do not tolerate wheat flour and cow's milk products well any more. In addition, the milk may contain harmful substances, which is why there is an increasing use of either organic fresh milk or vegan milk alternatives. Wheat rolls are also often avoided nowadays. Since wheat has been genetically modified, spelt rolls or, if necessary, gluten-free alternatives are often chosen. In principle, any kind of reduction diet is conceivable, depending on individual tolerance.
Procedure of the Mayr method
At this point we would like to give you an understanding of the Mayr method. The terms protection, cleansing, training and substitution play a decisive role.
Rest
An important part of the F.X. Mayr cure is rest. If the bowel is overstrained, it must be spared. But not only the intestines, but the entire body, as well as mind and soul should rest to achieve a holistic regeneration.
Cleansing
In addition to being gentle to the body, mind, and soul, cleansing during the Mayr method is also indispensable to promote the cleansing process of the intestines. Toxins should be eliminated by taking a bitter salt solution every day. The ultimate goal is to restore the self-cleaning powers of the intestines, which are disrupted in many cases as a result of an incorrect diet and lifestyle. At this point, it is also important to ensure a sufficient fluid intake, which significantly supports the purification process. Enemas, liver wraps or the ingestion of an alkaline powder can also help to ensure the success of the cleansing and the entire cure.
Training
The maintenance or further optimisation of the achieved state of health after the therapy is only possible through training. Thus, the fasting person should learn everything about Mayr's diet during the therapy in order to be able to apply it in everyday life afterwards. Since healthy digestion begins in the mouth, a great focus is placed on correct chewing. Furthermore, it is about conscious eating, i.e. topics such as:
Substitution
Substitution is a rather younger aspect of the Mayr fasting. Some people suffer increasingly from deficiencies in vitamins, trace elements and minerals. For this reason, patients in many Mayr Hotels are provided with vital substances which also promote detoxification and have a positive effect on health.
Our F.X. Mayr Hotels
In our hotels, you will be checked by a doctor before the start of the therapy. Many hotels offer initial, follow-up and final examinations with individual consultation. Then at least 7 days of fasting are waiting for you, during which the F.X. Mayr diet is also tailored to your body and needs. Many hotels offer stays of 3 - 4 weeks, where a noticeable success is achieved.
Many great treatments and activities result in a social programme that will make the hunger disappear quickly: You can expect metabolism-promoting liver wraps, Kneipp treatments, detoxifying alkaline baths, stomach treatments (belly massages), detox massages and, of course, depending on the hotel, great wellness and spa offers with which your fasting holiday will be a pleasure.
Destinations
In the Mayr hotels you can not only detoxify your body, but also get to know dream destinations that have perhaps been on your wish list. If you like green landscapes and love hiking, the best place to go is the Bavarian Alpine foothills or the Rhön Biosphere Reserve. Of course, you will also find great offers in Austria, because this is where the Mayr method is at home.
