Therapeutic Fasting for the Healthy
According to the Method of Dr. Buchinger and Dr. Lützner
A journey toward inner balance and well-being.
Healthy Weight Loss
Therapeutic fasting supports detoxification and cleansing – and at the same time, you choose a healthy way to lose weight.
Buchinger fasting is a proven method of therapeutic fasting, developed by Dr. Otto Buchinger. This form of fasting is based on a calorie-reduced diet. We serve only teas as well as high-quality fruit and vegetable juices. In addition, you will receive vegetable broth, fresh spring water, and mineral water.
Self-healing powers are activated, and overall well-being is enhanced.
Our fasting program is primarily designed for healthy individuals. Please note that we do not offer medical supervision. If you have any concerns, consult your general practitioner to determine whether a fasting cure is appropriate for you.
Our fasting guide, Christiane, will be happy to explain the differences between therapeutic fasting and other fasting methods.
Fasting Program Schedule
Preparation Phase:
Before the actual fasting begins, the body is gently prepared with a light, alkaline diet. This phase typically lasts two days and can easily be done at home in advance.
Fasting Phase:
During this phase, only liquids are consumed. The body shifts its metabolism into fasting mode. Depending on individual needs and health status, this phase can last anywhere from five to 21 days.
Rebuilding Phase:
After fasting, the body is slowly reintroduced to solid food. This phase is essential to ensure the success of the fast and to avoid overburdening the body.
