The best basis

Still water – ideally warm

Drinking is especially important – fluid supports your body, especially the kidneys that excrete acids (more).

Still water is always ideal. Carbonated water is left out. Aim for at least 2, ideally 2.5 to 3 litres a day.

Ayurveda recommends warm drinks for digestion and wellbeing. A glass of warm water with lemon after waking gently wakes up circulation and digestion.

🫖 At the Zollhaus

As a fasting guest you get a kettle in your room – for warm water and tea any time.

And water with fresh fruit or vegetables is available throughout the house.
