Detoxing trends and their effects: on the way to the new ME

Special detox concepts at the Hotel & Spa Larimar

Detoxing is on everyone's lips, especially in times of (lavish) festivities and, of course, at the turn of the year. Good intentions are mixed with "I should do that this year". However, detoxing can be much more than a one-off "cleanse from within" and can become part of a healthy lifestyle. It is therefore worth looking into the therapeutic options available to find your own individual detox plan. At the top wellness and health hotel Larimar in Stegersbach, Burgenland, a unique detoxing concept has been developed with various individual programs that promote targeted purification and detoxification of the body according to personal needs, but also make full use of the hotel's natural healing resources and wide range of therapies and wellness services.

The 4-star superior Hotel & Spa Larimar is one of Austria's top addresses for wellness and health. Both areas have been developed and deepened over the years. Built in unique architecture based on sacred geometry, the Larimar offers the perfect setting for sustainable relaxation with a high health value. The wellness area with eight pools with thermal, fresh and alkaline seawater with water temperatures between 32 and 36 degrees, the large sauna world with seven saunas and eight relaxation areas are unique in Austria. Ecology and sustainability are also very important here. Local heating is used and wood is used for heating. Particular attention is paid to the sustainable use of resources and regional cuisine. The hotel is the only hotel in Burgenland to have received the "Green Toque" award for wholesome enjoyment at the highest level in certified organic quality.

"Food must make us healthier and not make us ill. That is our motto. That's why we mainly cook gently over an open flame. The dishes are served full of natural energy," says host Johann Haberl.


Detoxing strengthens the immune system


In addition to stress, little exercise and a monotonous diet, artificial food additives and increasing environmental pollution are a burden on our health. The consequences are deposits of toxins in the body. Weight gain, digestive problems, chronic fatigue, skin and stomach problems, difficulty sleeping or a feeling of malaise are becoming increasingly common.

"Daily physical detoxification and a healthy lifestyle have become increasingly important in the fight against the exploding diseases of civilization, such as a gradual decline in performance, cardiovascular complaints, burnout, diabetes and cancer," explains detox physician Dr Ilse Triebnig.

The cell checks at Larimar have also shown that the heavy metal load in the cells has increased recently. This is a clear sign of how important it is for health and well-being to purify and detoxify. Depending on your personal goals, the Larimar offers various options as part of its in-house detox concept, such as F.X. Mayr cures with Ayurveda, Ayurveda detox, therapeutic fasting, detox cures or intermittent alkaline fasting.


The Larimar detox concept


Detoxing helps to rid the body of toxins and waste products and provides new energy. It can relieve the intestines and metabolism and boost the immune system. It helps to reduce weight, clear the complexion and improve mood swings and fatigue. In addition to a special diet, detoxing also includes detoxifying massages and treatments.

With the Oligo Scan cell check, heavy metals, minerals, trace elements, etc. in the tissue can be analyzed quickly and precisely.

With the specially developed Larimar alkaline diet, enjoyment does not fall by the wayside. Acid-forming foods and luxury foods such as meat, eggs, fatty dairy products, alcohol and sweets are deliberately avoided and replaced with alkaline foods such as fruit, vegetables, potatoes and herbs. The menu is wheat-, gluten-, lactose-, casein-, glutamate-, yeast- and soy-free.

The detox effect is further enhanced by the effect of the salt in two alkaline seawater pools (pH value 8.3) and two salt saunas. Mineral salts have an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect, support detoxification processes, stimulate cell renewal and promote stress reduction. Alkaline full and foot baths, wraps and massages also help the body to rid itself of acids and toxins. Soothing spa treatments, meditative offers, good sleep and an extensive activity program complete the detoxing days.


Larimar interval alkaline fasting


Intermittent fasting not only supports weight loss, but the targeted breaks in eating also trigger a self-cleansing process. Fasting acts like a kind of fountain of youth. Based on 24 hours a day, you eat within 8 hours and drink exclusively during the remaining 16 hours. A balanced acid-base balance is essential for maintaining or restoring health. For particular effectiveness, intermittent fasting is therefore also combined with the Larimar alkaline diet.
