Moinhos Velhos Health Retreat offer fasting programs with fruit and vegetable juices and vegetable broth. Our juices and broth are freshly made with primarily organic fruits and vegetables, mostly from our own organic garden and from local farmers. With the juices we take psyllium and bentonite powders and between the juices various special herbs are taken to clean the entire gastrointestinal tract and eliminate toxins, heavy metals, parasites etc. from your system. Our Detox Programs will detoxify and cleanse not only your small and large intestines, but all your organs and cells, and this cleansing will prevent disease and is the first step in restoring your body to optimum health.
We have a safe and supportive environment where you will
wake up to the songs of the birds in the morning and go to bed at
night with the silence of the stars
. Located in a tranquil valley,
next to the Barragem da Bravura, 13 km from Lagos and away from
the regular tourist areas, our experienced staff will guide you
and support you through the cleansing process. We start every day
with yoga and meditation or Chi Gong, and finish every day with meditation.
All the herbs, the juices and broth, powders and pills are included in the program cost. Also included is use of our salt water pool, sauna, hot tub, QRS magnet healing bed, detox foot bath, colonic irrigation, zapping and weekly excursion trips to the West Coast or Lagos

The sauna is on every second day. The Hot Tub every day. All bathrooms are equipped with a Clysmatic, which is a gravity colonics unit.
Our goal is not only to effect a transformation on the physical level, but also on the Emotional, Mental and Spiritual levels. We have morning meditation, breathing exercises - pranayama and yoga asanas- or chi gong, and we finish every day with meditation.
Yoga and fasting go hand in hand.
The yoga classes are suited to people of all levels. The combination of gentle moving, stretching and twisting together with deep breathing, speeds up the detox process. Through the practice of yoga one can find an inner peace and stillness, which reduces the toxic effects of stress and anxiety. Often during a fast, when the putrefied deposits are being eliminated from the system, old and sometimes forgotten emotions may surface. Yoga can help to deal with these.
Through the practice of meditation, we learn more about the mind, our thoughts, our habits, and this learning opens up the possibility for change. Instruction is given in various meditation techniques. Fasting is the oldest natural therapy for restoring health. Animals always fast when they are sick. Jesus was a great advocate of fasting and colon cleansing as described in The Gospel of Peace. Fasting is practiced and recommenced by most religions. Swami Sivananda encouraged fasting for physical, mental and spiritual purification. He says:
It checks the emotions. It controls the senses also. It is a great penance. It purifies the mind and the heart. It destroys a multitude of sins. Fasting controls the tongue in particular which is the deadliest enemy of man. Fasting overhauls the respiratory, circulatory, digestive and urinary systems. It destroys all the impurities of the body and all sorts of poisons. It eliminates uric acid deposits. Just as impure gold is rendered pure by melting it in the crucible again and again, so also this impure mind is rendered purer by fasting. |
Our concept with the establishment of Moinhos Velhos Health Retreat was the creation of a holistic health retreat for fasting, detoxification, cleansing and purification of body, mind and spirit. We had personally experienced the wonderful individual benefits of yoga and meditation, juice fasting, colon cleansing, proper nutrition, holistic therapies and the combination of all these in the proper environment would create a unique package, not offered anywhere else, for the elimination of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual impurities and imbalances, for detoxification and cleansing, thereby allowing your system to establish perfect health, which it is always endeavouring to do. |
Since our first fasting program and detoxification retreat in 1993, people have been coming from all over the world to share our concept and to participate in the unique experience of a Fasting and Detoxification Program at Moinhos Velhos. Many experience a complete transformation in their lives and some come back every year for a tune-up. In the average group 25 to 30 % have to been to Moinhos Velhos Fasting and Detox Retreat before. They love it so they come back.
