Detox Retreats most often offer all-inclusive packages. These packages include accommodation, a personal detox program, wellness treatments, physical and emotional assessment, transfer (from the airport, bus, or train station), and additional activities.
Most of the time, the detox programs are gentle. Sometimes, however, deep-cleansing techniques are also offered. Regardless of your choice, you’ll be guided and supervised by experienced professionals.
There are several detox programs to choose from, based on your needs and the initial assessment: juice detox, fasting, raw food detox, sugar detox, Ayurveda detox, and more. The program is tailored to your needs, targeting your specific health concerns and goals.
Some types of detox practices are ideal for those who can’t take a lot of time off and prefer to do it over a weekend. In this case, you are likely to do water fasting or juice detox. Those who can attend a longer retreat may undergo a combination of water fasting or juice cleansing with a vegan or raw food detox.
Contrary to popular belief, you are not going to feel deprived during a Detox Retreat. For example, the juices, shakes, and soups you’ll consume during the holiday are prepared by a nutritionist to offer a high nutrition profile. And you’ll likely also take supplements to ensure you are not nutrient-deficient.
Most Detox Retreats also offer other activities, such as yoga, Pilates, meditation, breathwork, and holistic and spa treatments. In addition, they may also take advantage of the location and offer nature walks or walking meditation sessions.
If your goal is weight loss, the activities you’ll engage in will likely be more energetic to stimulate calorie burning. For example, you’ll go on energizing walks before you join a more relaxed yoga class. Or, you may spend most of the time outdoors, partaking in swimming, cycling, and walking.
