What is a Juice Cleanse?

Ayurveda

At the Sanctuary, we harness the power of Ayurvedic healing modalities to restore harmony and balance to the mind, body, and spirit. A juice cleanse is one of the most transformative healing modalities we cultivate at the Sanctuary. Amongst our fasting programmes, a juice cleanse is an excellent way to enhance your journey. 

The history of fasting stretches back thousands of years, with all the highest spiritual and religious traditions using fasting to cleanse, purify, or reach closer proximity to the divine. Presently, various forms of fasting, particularly juice cleansing, have shown to be effective in fostering symptoms of long covid, assisting in weight loss, ridding the body of toxins, and much more. 

What is a juice cleanse? 

A juice cleanse is done by grinding, pressing, extracting, and consuming juice from plants for healing. By combining juices and drinking plant elixirs, the natural properties of these plants rid our bodies of toxins and restore vitality. Juice cleansing can be traced back over 5500 years as a ritual used for bodily detoxification and spiritual preparation. 

At the Sanctuary, we have cultivated a programme that honours nature and our ancestors, encouraging your body to synchronize to these magnetic vibrations. The programme is based on the Sanskrit term “Swarasa” or, in the common language, Ayurvedic juicing. We expose our bodies to an incredibly healing field by working with the intelligence that lives within the natural world. 

Benefits of a juice cleanse:

In modern-day culture, most of us are undernourished and overindulged. With exposure to processed foods, chemicals, fertilizers, preservatives and so on, a juice cleanse offers an excellent opportunity to detoxify the body. Juice fasting offers a chance to cleanse the body of unwanted toxins that may turn into deadly diseases if not eliminated over some time.

More benefits of a juice cleanse include:

  • Improved digestion and energy levels.
  • Boosted immunity function.
  • It can aid in weight loss.
  • Cleanses the liver and kidneys.
  • Balance your doshas.
  • Greater mental focus.

A Juice Cleanse the Sanctuary way

Standard Programme:  Our standard 3-day juice cleanse offers an opportunity to elevate your retreat. Should you wish to add a juice fast to your stay, our resident Ayurvedic doctor will create a personalized programme based on your Dosha, objectives and medical history.

Your uniquely designed juice cleanse will include a variety of locally grown fruits and vegetables to create a deep detox for your body.

Sample juice cleanse day at the Sanctuary: 5 elixirs are freshly made for you throughout the day.

  • Morning elixir: Herbal porridge + King Coconut
  • Mid-morning elixir: Fresh juice
  • Lunch elixir: Fresh juice
  • Afternoon elixir: Fresh juice
  • Dinner elixir: Herbal soup

Advanced juice cleanse programme at the Sanctuary:

Our advanced programme interweaves both water and juice fast. Find a sample outline below.

  • Day 3-5: Standard juice fast programme

Final takeaway and why you should consider a juice cleanse:

In modern day culture, it is important to detoxify your body of processed foods, chemicals, fertilizers, and preservatives so that these toxins do not turn into deadly diseases if not eliminated over some time. A juice cleanse offers the perfect way to do so.

You will feel rooted to nature through bountiful fruits and vegetables throughout your juice cleanse. You will also feel euphoria as your body releases old toxins and stagnant energies.. A juice cleanse is one of the best ways to restore your body to equilibrium. Cheers to the potions of nature!

Went for a 10-day spring retreat! Staff were really attentive — special mentions for Ms DiMuthu and Roshan who did a good job with massages, and the driver Gobi has excellent driving skills (prob the only one that didn’t give me carsickness on the long drives)
The staff helped us arrange safaris and day trips to mirisa beach, and tangelle town.
Loved my stay at Sen - 3 days in a peaceful haven! Great service from the staff especially the therapists, and the cooks. Everyone is extremely friendly and you feel so well taken care off. Rooms are beautiful, food is delicious, massages are wow and the pool/beach are just perfect. Would recommend to anyone looking for a luxury Ayurvedic wellness retreat
This is an INCREDIBLE wellness center focused on Ayurvedic healing modalities. I felt so taken care of and the quality of services was amazing. The food was excellent and the rooms are gorgeous! I can’t wait to come back!
It has been our third time at Sen Wellness and it does feel like coming home. It’s simply in every respect beautiful and we can’t wait to go back next year. We normally send between 10-14 days at it’s our detox in every respect. Thank you to make our stay always so special 💕
I had an incredible stay at Sen Wellness Sanctuary. The atmosphere was truly relaxing, the location peaceful and beautiful—it felt like a retreat for both the body and mind. The food was absolutely delicious—nourishing, wholesome, and perfectly suited to the wellness experience.

The traditional treatments were excellent, offering a deep sense of rejuvenation. But what truly made my stay unforgettable was the people. From Tharu, the kind and reliable driver, to the wonderful wellness managers, Candice and Tania, and the inspiring yoga teacher, Kamila—every member of the team contributed to a warm and welcoming experience. Their care and dedication made all the difference.

Just a few constructive comments—it would be great to have new lily pads and bolster cushions, as the current ones were not in the best condition. Also, more yoga blocks would be helpful, as there weren’t always enough for everyone.

Overall, I had an amazing time, and if you’re looking for a place to unwind, heal, and be surrounded by positive energy, I highly recommend Sen Wellness Sanctuary!
