The course of a therapeutic fasting cure
A structured process is crucial for the success of the fasting cure:
- Relief days: We prepare your body for fasting with light food.
- Start of fasting: Gentle bowel cleansing with Glauber salt initiates metabolism.
- Fasting phase: The daily intake of broths, teas and juices is accompanied by exercise, clay treatments and rest.
- Breaking the fast: The fast is traditionally interrupted with an apple, which marks a new beginning.
- Development phase: You will receive a gentle diet with light, plant-based food from our organic health kitchen.
Each phase is medically and therapeutically supported to optimally support your well-being, circulation and metabolism.

Supportive therapies and treatments
Fasting works best when body, mind, and spirit are equally involved. We therefore supplement the Buchinger fast with:
- Colon hydrotherapy for gentle bowel cleansing
- Liver wraps and Kneipp treatments to promote excretion
- Felke healing clay applications to support detoxification via the skin
- Movement therapies such as walks, fasting hikes, yoga, gymnastics, aqua fitness
- Mindfulness, breathing and relaxation exercises for inner peace
- Talks and medical consultations to motivate and support

This combination of fasting, exercise and naturopathic therapy forms a comprehensive concept that sustainably activates the body's self-healing powers and strengthens body, mind and soul equally. The combination of therapeutic fasting and Felke healing clay therapy is particularly effective: The mineral-rich healing clay supports deacidification, promotes the removal of acidic metabolites through the skin and stimulates blood circulation. This is how the body's cleansing process is naturally intensified.
FAQ
How does therapeutic fasting work?
After just a few days of fasting, the metabolism changes: The body starts to produce ketone bodies. These are energy sources that are obtained from fat reserves. This metabolic change has a positive effect on many biochemical processes:
- stabilization of blood sugar levels.
- Lowering cholesterol and triglycerides.
- Reducing inflammatory processes in the body.
- Activating autophagy — the “cellular waste removal” that breaks down damaged cell components and thus enables regeneration.
- Relief of liver, bile, kidneys and intestines.
In addition, the Felke healing clay applications the removal process via the skin. While fasting regulates metabolism from within, healing clay has a supportive effect from the outside: It binds acidic metabolites, promotes deacidification and strengthens general well-being.
“Detoxification” - what really happens?
The term “detoxification” is now viewed in a more scientifically differentiated way. In fact, fasting reveals the body's own cleansing processes: more metabolites are secreted and the cells begin to purify and renew themselves. In this way, fasting can help rid the organism of superfluous metabolic products — a kind of natural reset for the entire body.
Who is therapeutic fasting suitable for?
Therapeutic fasting is suitable for prevention and as an adjunctive therapy for:
- metabolic disorders (e.g. type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, overweight).
- rheumatic complaints and chronic inflammation.
- cardiovascular diseases and high blood pressure.
- Stress, sleep disorders, exhaustion and digestive problems.
Therapeutic fasting without medical supervision is not suitable for serious heart, kidney or cancer diseases — that is why we attach great importance to medical safety and individual care.
How often should you fast?
Many guests opt for one or two fasting stays per year in order to promote their health in the long term and relieve their body. Regular fasting can help to consciously change lifestyle habits and prevent illnesses.
