Preparing for Your Retreat
After booking you will receive a receipt and confirmation by email plus information about how to prepare for your detox retreat. Sudden changes in diet can create symptoms of discomfort so it is advised to make some dietary adjustments to make a gentle transition to your detox. You will also be asked to complete a confidential health questionnaire so we will have an idea of your health background, aims for your retreat, so that we can help you achieve the best results for your own health and wellbeing.
Detox Symptoms, Health & Body Weight
The detox retreat includes 3 days on juices per week. If you have a health condition or low body weight or you have any doubts about your suitability for this dietary programme please contact us to discuss this so that meal adjustments can be planned in advance to accommodate your particular needs. Guests with low body weight are not advised to do longer than 3 days juice fasting and do so at their own risk.
Some guests may experience any or a number of detox symptoms during the detox process, most of which should ease after a few days as vitality returns and health improves : decrease in energy, headaches, feeling nausea, general malaise, mood swings and emotional irritability, cravings, skin conditions, loose bowel movement. Which symptoms are experienced, if any, and for how long depends on the level of the individual’s health and lifestyle prior to the detox and whether you follow the detox preparation guidelines which are sent in the Pre-Travel Information. Instruction will be given on how to minimise detox symptoms during the retreat using stress release techniques, drinking plenty of water and use of enemas for colon cleansing.
Please note however, that guests undertake the detox at their own risk and take full responsibility for detox reactions that they may experience.
