HEALING FOCUS
Guided by the conviction that, “when the body fasts, the soul goes hungry,” Dr Otto Buchinger, a German doctor and philosopher, believed that the spontaneous desire for introspection and inner contemplation brought about by fasting is a means to healing – physically, spiritually and emotionally.
Therapeutic fasting involves voluntarily giving up solid food for a prescibed period of time. It helps to strengthen your immune system, activate your self-healing powers, treat a wide range of chronic illnesses and increase your general vitality and wellbeing.
Buchinger Wilhelmi provides you with a caring environment to walk that path under medical supervision. The clinic combines the best of Western medicine, ancient Far Eastern naturopathic knowledge and scientific progress with alternative therapies – an integrative approach which is nourishment for the body, spirit and soul. With several fasting programs to choose from and a wide range of therapies you’ll be supported by an expert team of holistic medical staff and practitioners. Enhanced by the natural healing powers of the surrounding Lake Constance region, this is a life-changing experience.
