Gut Steinberg 1-4, 83666 Waakirchen, Germany
Breathtaking nature coupled with impressive architecture are just the start at Europe’s most modern health resort. The personalised detox and fasting programs are complemented by ‘energy medicine’ health treatments that mix traditional approaches (such as leech therapy and liver infusions) with the finest modern, preventative techniques.
The detox cures are based on the philosophy of Austrian physician Franz Xaver Mayr, who believed that a clean digestive system leads to a clean bill of health. The F.X. Mayr method is built on three principles – rest (tea-and-water fasting to quiet you internally), detoxification (cutting out everything from sugar to alcohol to lessen the strain on your gastrointestinal system), and training (chewing thoroughly and without distraction to help your body process food better).
