Signs, benefits and the right time: when a fasting cure can make sense, which season suits โ and when to skip it.
A Buchinger fasting cure is a conscious break for many healthy adults (what is it?). It can ease a change of diet and help you see eating habits afresh.
It is also used alongside treatment for overweight, high blood pressure, some metabolic or joint complaints โ always with your doctor and without promises (fasting & health).
Choose a season or phase of life.
The classic: after winter many long for lightness. Nature awakens โ and so do you. Lent fits perfectly.
Golden forests, clear air: autumn is lovely for fasting hikes in the Ore Mountains โ a great preparation for winter.
After an intense work phase or a change, a fasting week helps you calm down and restart.
Plan a week without important commitments. Current dates are below and at Buchinger fasting in the Ore Mountains.
Not everyone should fast. In some life phases and with some conditions a fasting cure isnโt suitable or only with medical clearance. Details: conditions and fasting.
