Alkaline fasting at Birkenhof is not a trend, but a conviction!
We firmly believe in the healing effects of rest, nature and me-time. And don't worry, you won't go to bed on an empty stomach. Alkaline fasting is a gentle method because alkaline dishes are light and delicious. There's also nutritional counselling, complementary yoga and hikes that are simply good for you. Pleasurable fasting, so to speak!
WHAT IS ALKALINE FASTING?
Over a certain period of time , you only eat alkaline foods, i.e. mainly vegetables, potatoes, fruit, herbs and vegetable fats. Acid-forming foods such as sugar, white flour, animal products and coffee are omitted. Add water and teas.
Alkaline foods de-acidify and detoxify the body and activate your metabolism. In contrast to therapeutic or Buchinger fasting, alkaline fasting also allows you to eat your fill. Accompanying measures such as alkaline foot baths, liver compresses, exercise and yoga also support you in the detoxification process.
WHO CAN DO ALKALINE FASTING?
(Almost) everyone! Alkaline fasting has a preventative effect and promotes health. The fasting cure at Birkenhof also relieves people with complaints, e.g. digestive or skin problems, migraines, rheumatism, etc.
If you have a chronic illness or are taking medication, it is advisable to consult your doctor beforehand. Basically, you should not take part in alkaline fasting if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a serious chronic illness or an eating disorder .

"Was here for alkaline fasting, which is actually a gourmet feast, and still lost weight. Andrea, the boss, and Katja, the yoga teacher, provide the best support. Super friendly service, you can tell that the staff feel at home here. Cosy rooms, tasteful ambience and the beautiful spa area invite you to come back."

"A lovely hotel with warm hosts who take the well-being of their guests very seriously. Great rooms, very quiet location, hiking trails from the hotel. Every detail is taken care of, during the alkaline fast there is a kettle and fasting pack in the room. Fresh fruit and vegetables lovingly prepared, special requests during the fasting cure were responded to immediately. Warm support from nutritionist Katja - more than expected!"

"The alkaline fasting programme was well implemented. The right place to recover from everyday life! In this small but fine hotel, guests are looked after very well. Compliments to Andrea and Thomas Braunsch, who look after the guests very warmly and with genuine interest and fulfil their wishes. We did a week of alkaline fasting. I can highly recommend this hotel. Huge thanks also to Katja, who supported us with essential oils and yoga, and Barbara, who can describe the area well when hiking. Very friendly and open-minded staff."
