Although the human body has its own detoxification mechanism, it needs support because of the large amount of pesticides, heavy metals, medicines, radioactive substances, and chemicals in circulation and our unhealthy contemporary lifestyle. Our system is partially overloaded by the purification of all these toxins, so it is advisable to do a detox week once or twice a year.

Positive effects of a detox program

• It improves the body’s own detoxification capacity by supporting, maintaining and regenerating the detoxification organs.
• It restores balance between body, mind and soul and thus promotes energy and wellbeing.
• It develops mental strength, clears emotions, creates sensitivity and leads to inner truth and clarity.

Our body absorbs these toxins through the water we drink, the food we absorb, the air we breathe and the environment around us. All these toxins are then stored by the body in our fat deposits and, after a while, spread into our blood system, cells and organs.

The word “De-tox” means to detoxify. A detox program is a gentle, internal detoxification and cleansing process to eliminate these deposited toxins. It supports the cleansing of our organs such as the liver, intestines and kidneys, removes excess acids and toxins from the system and stimulates the metabolism. It is like a “spring-cleansing” for the body.

The word “Toxin” stems from ancient Greek and means “poison”. Toxin is any kind of substance that has a harmful effect on our body and can lead to:

• stress symptoms
• allergies
• intolerances
• chronic diseases
• general physical discomfort
• fatigue, lack of energy and headaches
• high blood pressure
• etc.

Prana Veda Detox Program

First, the metabolism has to be prepared for the detox treatment. Participants should refrain from highly acidic foods such as alcohol, coffee, sugar and sweets as well as meat and fried food and should try to do so one week before arrival at Prana Veda .

We use only organic, freshly-prepared ingredients, mostly from our own garden or from the local market. These have an anti-oxidant effect and thus remove the toxins from the body. No highly-processed food is served.

In the morning, we start at 7 am with Oil Pulling, using our own Coconut oil in order to detoxify the oral cavity, teeth and digestive tract.

A Jamu Shot with curcuma for breakfast supports internal cleansing and a fresh coconut at midday sustains the electrolyte metabolism.

It is important to drink a lot during the detox days in order to flush out the toxins. We offer Detox Teas with lemon, ginger and lemongrass throughout the day to activate the metabolism. The teas are alkaline and contain vitamin C.

You can choose between Ayurvedic-Detox and Juice-Detox.

Six-day Ayurvedic Detox-Program:

Arrival day – Saturday: introduction to the detox week

Day 1 – Sunday is an introductory day with healthy food such as fruit, turmeric shot, smoothies, yoghurt, organic cereals, salads and boiled vegetables. Fish can be added on request.

Days 2 -5 – Monday to Thursday: We serve fruit and vegetable smoothies and a turmeric shot for breakfast; rice porridge with steamed vegetables are available on request. If you wish, you can enjoy yoghurt with organic cereals as well.

For lunch, we serve a whole, fresh coconut from our own plantation and Kitcheree (Ayurvedic dish with rice and lentils) or vegetable soups if you are hungry. For dinner, we serve steamed vegetables and fresh fish on request.

Day 6 – Friday is a day for building up your system with light dishes similar to the introductory day.

Six-days Juice Detox-Program:

During a juice detox program only fresh fruit juices, smoothies, coconuts and turmeric shots are served. You will have one fruit and/or vegetable juice or smoothie three times per day, instead of every main meal. The remaining day you will be offered fresh coconut water from our own coconuts as well as special detox-tea.

This program is a more intensive way of detoxing since solid food is completely avoided, thus allowing your digestive tract to cleanse and regenerate. This form of detox is very effective for weight loss.
