What to Expect  

You will have a vegetable soup on Saturday evening. You will be fasting from Sunday morning. The daily programme of juices is: 7.30am lemon tea, 10am - a jug of orange juice, 1pm - a jug of fruit juice, 4pm - a single glass of vegetable juice and at 7pm - a mixed vegetable broth which contains lots of minerals. It is a simple juice diet, with various supplements to assist your body with the detoxification process and to push toxins out of your digestive system. At all times we provide lemon water and herbal teas which you can take freely. If, for any reason you break the fast early, we are not able to provide regular meals during the fasting programs.  

Accommodation: Rooms are simple and basic with an attached shower and toilet room. An individual patio/relaxation/reading area adjoins each room. Rooms have telephones (outgoing calls only). Incoming calls are received at the main house. Although there is no mobile phone signal in the valley, a signal is generally found just a short walk up the hill. In the main house there is a central computer for internet access. The central clinic building houses the treatment rooms, the QRS Magnet Healing bed, Foot detox equipment, zapping equipment, a relaxation area and a small library.  

Therapies: On the first morning a schedule is open to make your therapy reservations. We will also show you how to use the Clysmatic, a gentle colonic cleansing system you administer yourself in the privacy of your bathroom.

Exercise, Meditation and Relaxation: Each morning at 8am there is Meditation and Yoga, (Qigong once a week). Every evening there is meditation. Attendance to both of these is highly recommended as these are designed to assist in your detoxification process.

During the detoxification process, blockages and tensions held in the physical, mental and emotional levels of the body are released, these practices help you to let go of them, to relax properly and to sleep more comfortably. During the day you can relax, swim, have a therapy session, explore and walk around the area and help out in the organic gardens. There are a collection of videos and DVD's of related subjects and movies to watch. On alternate days the Sauna is on in the early evening. The Hot tub is on every day. One day each week we have an outing, weather dependent, either to one of the beautiful local Algarve beaches or to Lagos.
