Why detox?
Although the human body has its own detoxification mechanism, it needs support with the amount of pesticides, heavy metals, medicines, radioactive substances and chemicals in circulation today, combined with our sometimes unhealthy lifestyles. Our body is sometimes overwhelmed by the removal of all these toxins, so it is good to follow a detox programme once or twice a year.
Positive effects of a detox cure
- The body’s own detoxification capacity is improved by supporting, nourishing and regenerating the organs.
- It also leads to emotional cleansing, detoxification and purification.
- It brings balance between body, mind and soul, and so restores energy and well-being.
May you let go of everything old in body and soul, make room for the new and creative, and find your way back to energy, joy and well-being.
What is detox?
The word “toxin” is ancient Greek and means poison. A toxin is any substance that has a harmful effect on our body and can lead, for example, to the following:
- Stress symptoms
- Allergies
- Intolerances
- Chronic diseases
- General malaise
- Tiredness, lack of energy and headaches
- High blood pressure
We absorb toxins into our bodies through the water we drink, the food we eat, the air we breathe and the environment that surrounds us. All these toxins are then stored in the body and spread throughout our blood system, our cells and our organs.
The word “de-tox” means detoxification. A detox cure detoxifies and cleanses our body from the inside to eliminate these deposited toxins. It supports the cleansing of our organs such as the liver, intestines and kidneys, eliminates excess acids and toxins and stimulates our metabolism.

The detox programme
Highly acidic foods such as alcohol, coffee, sugar, sweets, meat and fried foods are avoided during the programme, so it makes sense to take this into account a week before you arrive.
We only serve organic, freshly prepared food that has an antioxidant effect and so removes toxins from the body, usually from our own garden or the local market. Processed food and ready-made products are taboo.
Every morning at 7 a.m. the day begins with oil pulling with coconut oil, to detoxify the mouth, teeth and digestive tract.
A jamu shot with turmeric is served for breakfast to cleanse the body, and a fresh coconut at lunch to balance the electrolytes.
It is very important to drink a lot during a detox cure, as this flushes the toxins out of the body. Detox teas with lemon, ginger and lemongrass are there all day: they boost the metabolism, are alkaline and contain vitamin C.
If you wish, you can support the detoxification of the liver with heat wraps.
Ayurvedic detox, juice detox or fasting
You choose. On arrival, the detox programme is discussed in person, explained in detail and tailored to your needs.

6-day juice detox cure
On a juice detox, only fresh fruit juices, smoothies, coconuts and turmeric shots are served. A fresh fruit or vegetable juice or smoothie is served instead of the main meals; the rest of the time we only drink coconut water from our fresh coconuts and detox tea.
This programme is a more intensive form of detoxification, as no solid food is eaten at all. This lets the digestive organs regenerate and toxins be eliminated. This detox cure is ideal for weight loss.
6-day fasting cure
A fasting cure has an introductory day and a build-up day, with daily detox tea and coconuts in between. Fasting means abstaining from solid food for a limited time in order to relieve body, mind and soul. Fasting is a cleansing process, awareness work and an opportunity to let go of old patterns.
