Juice fasting retreat, Jiva Healing, 30 May - 6 June 2010
Our 7 day juice fasting program is designed to assist the body in eliminating toxins through taking detoxifying herbs, drinking plenty of fresh organic juices and fluids and doing yoga. Throughout the fasting process you will be supported by a professional nutritional adviser, who will give you a one-to-one consultation and tailor the fast to suit your requirements accordingly.
During the fast you will be given organic fruit and vegetable juices, spirulina and vegetable broth daily to provide you with the vitamins and minerals you need to nurture your body. Psyllium husks provide cleansing bulk and help stave off physical hunger. Self-administered enemas are done twice daily, to help the body to eliminate toxins during the fasting process.
As well as having the option of attending a daily yoga class, you can also take part in our fun and informative classes on nutrition and healthy eating, sustainable living, meditation and happiness. The aim of these classes is to equip you with the information you need to make healthier, happier choices when you get back to your normal life after the fast.
NB: Fasting is not safe for people who are very underweight, clinically obese, pregnant, diabetic, suffering from kidney disease or certain cancers. Please contact us if you have any concerns about your health that you would like to discuss further before arrival.

Why detox?
Most people subject their bodies to harmful lifestyles and diets that inhibit the body’s ability to cleanse and heal itself. Eating a poor diet of processed foods clogs up the digestive system with waste materials and prevents our bodies from absorbing vital nutrients, inhibits the immune system and, over time, can lead to health problems. Fasting gives your body a rest from environmental and ingested poisons, improves your body’s ability to absorb nutrients and boosts your immune system. This process can leave you energised and rejuvenated and is a great way to kick-start cutting out bad habits that can lead to disease and weight gain.
Fasting allows an incredibly effective cleansing process to take place in the body that reaches down to each and every cell and tissue. All your organs receive a well-deserved rest and a much needed clear out. After 24 hours of not eating the energy used for digestion is redirected towards clearing out waste matter, dead and damaged cells, blood gas, microbes, parasites and other toxins from your system. Without the chemical interference of stimulants like caffeine, nicotine, sugar and alcohol, your body is able to find a better natural balance.
