Moinhos
Velhos
Holistic
Health Retreat
Our
aim is to provide a place for physical, mental and spiritual
cleansing and
renewal.
We offer supervised
Juice Fasting and detox programs with complementary therapies
to effectively renew and rejuvenate the whole body. The special
herbs will loosen the old toxic deposits in the intestines
and the powders (Bentonite and Psyllium Husk) will absorb the
toxins and effect the elimination of the putrefied deposits
in your system. The cleansing is of the entire digestive
system and will remove the accumulated toxins.
From
the ten best Spas in the world The Sunday Times rated Moinhos
Velhos as the best Spa for Yoga. ( Lifestyle
Spa Special - Style 39, 2002 )
We have a safe and supportive environment where you will wake
up to the songs of the birds in the morning and go to bed at
night with the silence of the stars. We are in a tranquil valley,
away from the regular tourist areas, and our staff will guide
you and support you through the cleansing process. We start
every day with yoga and meditation, and finish every day with
meditation.
During
a fast, old emotions often come to the surface, and yoga - with
breathing exercise and meditation - can help
All the herbs, the juices and broth, powders and pills are
included in the program cost. Also included is use of our salt
water pool, sauna, hot tub, QRS magnet healing bed, detox foot

Just about everybody benefits from fasting. Even those who live a relatively healthy
life-style still have toxins. Due to old and often bad nutritional habits, environmental
pollutants, stresses and strains of life situations most of us suffer from toxic
deposits throughout the body. With the elimination of these toxins, remarkable
and sometimes incredible changes can and have occurred.
Fasting affects body, mind
and spirit
For
Body: Fasting provides a much-needed rest for the internal organs. The functions
of restores and normalizes glandular, metabolic and nervous-system functions;
speeding up the elimination of morbid accumulations, toxic wastes and dead cells;
accelerating new cell and tissue generation and enhancing cell-oxygenation.
For Mind: As the physical body detoxifies, rejuvenates and regenerates,
the mind begins to function more efficiently. During the fast, the digestive system
has a rest, freeing up energy for other things. This energy is used by the mind
- bringing mental clarity. Fasting develops mental will power and increased control
over the senses and mind.
For
Spirit: All the major religions practice fasting in some form or another.
Fasting allows the body and mind to become still, and in the stillness, one is
more likely to tune into the secrets of Life, and to connect with Spirit.

fast for greater physical and mental efficiency" - Plato |
