What is the ‘buchinger fasting method’?
Buchinger fasting retreats follow the medically developed fasting method of Dr. Otto Buchinger, combining a guided period of liquid fasting (water, teas, broth, juices) with movement, rest, detox-supporting practices, and mindful reflection. The method is structured around 12 guiding steps, from preparation and fasting to a conscious breaking of the fast and a gentle reintroduction to whole-food nutrition (Vollwertkost).
What are the benefits of fasting?
Fasting supports holistic well-being by giving the body a physiological reset while enhancing mental clarity, emotional balance, and inner awareness—often leading to greater energy, healthier habits, and a deeper sense of alignment.
