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 and our sometimes unhealthy lifestyle. The body is sometimes overwhelmed with breaking down all these toxins and it is therefore a good idea to take a detox cure 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 thus restores energy and well-being.
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 is a detoxification and cleansing of our body from the inside to eliminate these deposited toxins. It thus supports the cleansing of our organs such as the liver, intestines and kidneys, eliminates excess acids and toxins and stimulates our metabolism. You could say it is a spring clean for the body.
What is “detox”?
The word “toxin” is ancient Greek and means poison. Toxin is any type of substance that has a harmful effect on our body and leads to
- Stress symptoms
- Allergies
- Intolerances
- Chronic diseases
- General malaise
- Tiredness, lack of energy and headaches
- High blood pressure
- etc.
can lead to.
The Prana Veda Detox Program
Highly acidic foods such as alcohol, coffee, sugar, sweets, meat and fried foods are avoided during the detox program, so it makes sense to take this into account a week before your arrival at Prana Veda. We only serve organic, freshly prepared food that has an antioxidant effect and thus 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 for 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 are available throughout the day and are enriched with lemon, ginger and lemongrass, boost the metabolism, are alkaline and contain vitamin C.
If you wish, you can support the detoxification of the liver with heat wraps.
You can choose between an Ayurvedic detox or a juice detox.

Fasting means abstaining from solid food for a limited period of time in order to relieve the body, mind and soul. Fasting is a cleansing process, awareness work and an opportunity to let go of old patterns.
