Detoxifying the body: the five key therapies
Whether you choose medically supervised therapeutic fasting or a detox programme, your personalised nutrition or fasting plan may incorporate elements of nutritional therapy, phytotherapy, hydrotherapy, lifestyle therapy or exercise therapy. The medical and therapeutic team aims to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, helping to detoxify and cleanse the body and support its revitalisation — all with longevity in mind, for a long life in good health and vitality.
The path to optimal, holistic regeneration is different for everyone. That’s why THE RESET offers a wide range of conventional medical and naturopathic diagnostic services and therapies, tailored by the medical team to your individual needs. One outcome is your personalised health plan.
Nutritional therapy
Being mindful about what you eat is just as important as occasionally abstaining from food. After all, the food we eat provides the basis for what enters our body’s cells every day through metabolic processes. That’s why the medical team at THE RESET creates an individual nutrition plan for every guest. Vegetables and fruit from local growers are key components of a nutrient-rich, wholesome diet. Plenty of plant-based foods, a small amount of animal products, all freshly prepared. The right balance of essential nutrients — including proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fibre and a range of minerals — is crucial.
Lifestyle therapy
This naturopathic approach focuses on inner balance and harmony within the body. Its aims include a well-regulated lifestyle, emotional balance, mindfulness, taking a considered look at your own situation, regular periods of rest, and avoiding stress and rushing — in short, paying close attention to your body and mind. At THE RESET, you can have in-depth conversations with therapists about your lifestyle. Relaxation classes are available almost daily, including yoga, mindfulness training, mindful movement, autogenic training and guided meditation.
Exercise therapy
Endurance activities such as Nordic walking, jogging and hiking can help lower high blood pressure or stabilise low blood pressure. Targeted, regular exercise therapy is extremely important for osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, respiratory conditions and metabolic syndrome (high blood pressure, obesity, lipid disorders and insulin resistance).
The power of water (hydrotherapy)
Pastor Sebastian Anton Kneipp is regarded as the founder of hydrotherapy and modern naturopathic treatments. For a wide range of acute and chronic conditions, treatments include water applications, compresses, rubdowns and packs, as well as partial, full and alternating baths. Hydrotherapy also includes visits to the sauna and steam room to stimulate the metabolism, cleanse the skin and strengthen the body’s defences. Hydrotherapy can be beneficial for colds, cardiovascular conditions and circulatory disorders, and to improve the supply of nutrients to the skin, muscles, bones and joints. It may also be helpful for degenerative joint conditions such as osteoarthritis of the shoulder, hip or knee.
Phytotherapy (herbal medicine)
A key element of THE RESET is the wide-ranging potential of plant-based preparations, such as herbs and roots used in bath and inhalation additives. They may benefit the skin, respiratory tract and mucous membranes, help relax the muscles and support those experiencing sleep difficulties.
