Questions about alkaline fasting
What is alkaline fasting?
Alkaline fasting is a temporary form of nutrition that makes it easier to switch to a healthy diet and lifestyle. The term “fasting” is misleading, because alkaline fasting does not mean abstaining from solid food, but above all fasting with fruit and vegetables, so that you are spoiled with alkaline culinary delights during your stay. Our kitchen with star chef Frederik Desch prepares delicious creations from fruit, vegetables, salads, herbs, mushrooms, potatoes, nuts and high-quality oils.
Is alkaline fasting just about nutrition?
Peace and quiet is the focus of your stay - far away from everyday life, we create the ideal atmosphere for you to concentrate fully on your alkaline fasting cure. In addition to the alkaline meals, a holistic health experience awaits you: soothing massages, relaxing alkaline baths and an individually tailored exercise program.
Our competent contact persons will accompany you personally and ensure that your cure is not only an effective but also a deeply relaxing experience.
How do you prepare for your alkaline fasting cure?
In order to start your cure fit and unencumbered, we recommend that you avoid caffeine for 3 days before your stay. The caffeine from coffee, black tea, green tea, cola and energy drinks needs this time to be completely excreted from the body and broken down, so that withdrawal symptoms such as headaches and weakness in the circulatory system no longer occur.

Experience reports with alkaline fasting:
I have been a vegetarian for over 10 years and thought I was eating healthily, I am not overweight but have had joint pain for a long time. This also led me to a vegetarian diet, but only with moderate success.
After 1 week of alkaline fasting I felt the first results - not only less pain, but I was also fitter and the best thing was that I never went hungry!
I then added a second week and have been virtually pain-free ever since. That was 3 years ago.
Since then I've been doing the cure twice a year and have intensive treatment during it, which means I can move again and my quality of life has improved enormously.
Thank you dear Mr. Wurster, thank you to your team!
Heidi S. from Düsseldorf
The day came when I was ready with my back and hip pain, as well as my constant sciatica complaints. After I had tried orthopaedists, alternative practitioners and acupuncture to no avail, going to an osteopath seemed inevitable as the last ray of hope.
At my first appointment with Sebastian Wurster, a comprehensive and holistic medical history was taken. Of course, my significant overweight was also a main topic. Mr. Wurster initially recommended detoxification with alkaline fasting. My curiosity was aroused.
I began to gather information about this method and was pleasantly surprised. After my first appointment on a Friday, I decided to start alkaline fasting on Monday. My partner spontaneously joined me. The great thing was that we were always full with the alkaline foods. Within a few days I felt vital, fresh, was finally able to sleep through the night again and had lost 7.5 kilograms after one week and 12 kilograms after two weeks. My partner lost 7.5 kilos in two weeks.
We will definitely continue and are absolutely convinced and enthusiastic.
