Detox for Regeneration

Detox at Marienkron

Back to Balance with an Alkaline Diet, Mindfulness, and Restorative Treatments

Alkaline. Plant-based. Restorative.
In the detox retreat at Marienkron, nutrition is based entirely on an alkaline, plant-based diet. Meat, fish, sugar, and alcohol are consciously avoided. Dr. Kottas detox teas and bitter herbs accompany the meals.

Regularity instead of restriction
Unlike therapeutic fasting, detox nutrition is not primarily about calorie reduction, but about a regulated, mindful eating rhythm. If desired, the diet can also be reduced in consultation with our physicians and nutritionists.

Individually guided. Holistically tailored.
Our team supports you on your path to greater well-being. Movement, meditation, and yoga foster inner balance.

Restorative treatments for body and skin
Kneipp applications, wraps, massages, baths, or beauty treatments support the body’s natural cleansing processes via the intestines, liver, kidneys, lungs, and skin.

Detox as an ImpusE

It is now scientifically proven that a vegetable-based diet and periodic fasting programs have a positive impact on health and quality of life.

How detox works. New energy for body & mind

Our modern lifestyle often throws the body out of balance – irregular eating, little exercise, and high stress levels. Detox, derived from detoxification, aims at conscious relief and regeneration.

At its core is a purely alkaline diet: acid-forming foods such as sugar and animal protein are avoided, while bitter substances are deliberately integrated. Together with restorative treatments, detox teas, and gentle exercise, digestion is stimulated and the natural balance in the gut is supported.

Detox at Marienkron works:

• Promotes the regeneration of body cells
• Acts as an energy booster
• Counteracts the aging process
• Supports weight reduction
• Promotes mental relaxation

Marienkron combines over 50 years of experience in fasting & Kneipp medicine with modern science. A detox retreat, ideally once or twice a year, brings new lightness and lasting well-being.

Detox & cuisine. No contradiction.

Healthy nutrition begins with mindfulness. At Marienkron, you experience detox not as deprivation, but as conscious reduction with taste: 
• vegetarian 
• regional & seasonal 
• fresh, alkaline & wholesome

Our kitchen team reinterprets classic home-style cooking – inspired by herbal knowledge, supported by nutritional counseling, and tailored to your individual detox journey.

Detox & Metabolism

Our detox program, with its alkaline, fiber-rich diet, has a positive effect on intestinal movement and therefore supports digestion. Liver compresses and lymphatic drainage, as well as bitter substances and various teas, stimulate the production of digestive juices and have an additional draining effect. Together with reduced salt intake, this also has a positive impact on blood pressure.

Detox & Body Awareness

A vegetable-based diet has been proven to be anti-inflammatory and decongestant. Lymphatic drainage, cooling clay wraps, detox baths, and algae stamp massages can reduce water retention and thus ease skin, vein, and joint problems – while also significantly improving pain levels in the long term.

Detox & Mental Well-Being

The combination of a reduced, plant-based diet with bitter substances and the calming time for restorative treatments not only supports relaxation in the gut and muscles, but also strengthens the regenerative power of our psyche. The autonomic nervous system relearns how to switch more easily from tension to relaxation, which makes an essential contribution to greater resilience in everyday life.
