DETOX / COLONIC FASTING PROGRAMS
The Sanctuary Resort & Spa Thailand Ko Phangan

Fasting is one of the most natural, powerful therapies known to humankind and is used to Detox the body. Periods of abstinence from solid food, a ritual since ancient times, allow the body to "cleanse and purify", to remove multitudes of toxins, excess weight, parasites, and the like caused by years of fast food, cigarettes, prescription drugs and alcohol . Add to that work-related stress indigestion, illnesses, constipation and sedentary lifestyles, and you have a recipe for an unhealthy colon. . Furthermore, the cells, tissues, organs of your body are given a well-deserved and much needed chance to slow down, rest, and heal.

With the addition of colon cleansing & colonics (a cleansing regime whereby the colon is flushed out with natural solutions, in itself a potent detoxification tool), our Detox programmes offer a transformative, therapeutic process moving you towards much greater states of health and well-being. At the Sanctuary we use the Arise and Shine fasting products

Breaking your fast

We advise spending as long breaking your fast as you spent fasting. Therefore, you might want to base your travel plans around this. The sanctuary restaurant provides a special cleansing menu, providing foods designed for ending a fast. All post-fasters are still welcome to use the Wellness Centre facilities and to get advice from the nutritional advisors.

If you must leave soon after, please incorporate health food into your plans. 

For example:

• Fruit on train/bus journeys
• Order the "fruit plate" on aeroplanes (must be ordered in advance)
• Stay in health-conscious resorts
• Buy your own brown rice and ask resorts to cook it for you
• We sell take-away packs of Psyllium and a probiotic that doesn't require refrigeration.

Yoga classes are available daily / Yoga Thailand & Spa Thailand services available.

Like the Spa Ko Samui we recommend you come 2 days befotre if opossible to best prepare for your detox
