Additional Information
What to expect:
Your detox starts with a consultation by our in-house Ayurvedic Doctor, who assesses your body constitution. This means you are assessed as a person before any ailment. This includes history and current living and lifestyle habits alongside a physical assessment. In this way, our Doctor can assess your dosha type according to the Ayurvedic Tridosha, which is vital to your detox program.Our Doctor will create a specialised meal plan to accompany your chosen detox program. This will be available to you either at our buffet meal times or as and when you require it. Our restaurant team will support you with this during your detox.
During the detoxification process, your body will feel fatigued and weaker. Because of this, we advise that you only take daily yoga classes if you are feeling energized and able. Our doctor will also advise you on this during your consultation and during the course of your detox program. The detox is a time for rest; overexerting yourself will be detrimental to your detox and health.
We ask that you follow the program as recommended by our Doctor; this will ensure positive results for you and your health and safety during your stay with us. Our teachers, therapists, and Doctors are all on hand to encourage and support you during your detox program, so you are in the best hands.
It would be best if you refrained from:
- Late nights & lack of sleep
- Alcohol & Caffeine
- Foods not advised in your program
- Heavy exercise or activity
- Intercourse
