Frequently asked questions
What is therapeutic fasting and how does it work?
Therapeutic fasting is a form of fasting where solid food is avoided for a set period (usually 5–14 days). Instead, you consume broth, juices, tea, and water. The body switches to autophagy and detoxifies. At Retreat Vacation you'll find 29 guided therapeutic fasting offers.
How much does a therapeutic fasting retreat cost?
Therapeutic fasting retreat prices range from €350 to €3.299, with an average of €1.172. The price typically includes therapeutic supervision, fasting meals, accommodation, and an accompanying program of exercise and relaxation.
Who is therapeutic fasting suitable for – and who should avoid it?
Therapeutic fasting is suitable for healthy adults who want to relieve their body and gain new energy. It's not suitable during pregnancy, with eating disorders, certain chronic conditions, or when taking certain medications. Consult your doctor beforehand.
How do I prepare for a therapeutic fasting retreat?
Most providers recommend 2–3 preparation days before fasting, during which you eat light meals and avoid coffee, alcohol, and sugar. Many retreat organizers will send you detailed preparation instructions in advance.
What therapeutic fasting methods are available?
The most well-known methods include Buchinger fasting (broth, juices, tea), alkaline fasting (alkaline foods instead of complete abstinence), juice fasting, and intermittent fasting. Use the category filters to search specifically for your preferred method.
What happens after therapeutic fasting?
Breaking the fast and the subsequent rebuilding days are crucial for success. Over 3–5 days, food is slowly reintroduced – starting with an apple, then light meals. Reputable retreats guide you through this phase and provide a plan for home.
Will I receive medical supervision during therapeutic fasting?
Most therapeutic fasting retreats include therapeutic or medical supervision. When booking, check whether health checks, daily care, and follow-up consultations are included in the offer.
