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 1-2: 48-hour water fast consisting of only juice and coconut water.
  • 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!

With love,

Situated between two bodies of water, a tranquil lagoon on the one side, and the powerful Indian ocean on the other, Sen Wellness Sanctuary is an oasis of tranquility, a place to slow down and connect with nature and yourself. I spent three weeks in this beautiful hideaway and thoroughly enjoyed my stay, including morning and evening meditation and breath work, daily yoga practice, personalised ayurvedic treatments and delicious, freshly prepared meals. I am immensely grateful to the friendly, dedicated and highly professional staff as well as all the beautiful people I was fortunate enough to meet during my time at the retreat. Deep nourishment of body, mind and spirit and a truly unforgettable experience.
Spent 7 days in this beautiful Sanctuary, and highly recommend. Dr Udari is incredible and the treatments truly made a difference. All the staff are so helpful, kind and responsive, from the manager Antonio, Francis and Tseyang and the therapists SenWellness is a true Ayurvedic retreat.
One of the best vacations I ever had.I’ve been just meditating, doing yoga, breathwork and Ayurvedic treatments without touching my phone for a week.The sanctuary is a collection of very well thought out spaces: huts, main lounge, yoga room, pool, beach…Beach is in the natural preserve, where sea turtles come to lay eggs. No one around. Don’t swim in the ocean though, undercurrents are very dangerous here.The vibe is amazing, staff and service are superb and second to none.Definitely going to come back again.
What a wonderful discovery! The retreat was so much more than we expected - on so many levels. Great yoga, excellent ayurvedic therapy and treatments, really good food - and amazing company. What a wealth of experiences we have taken home with us. Sam and his team were very kind and attentive and the other participants were all so special and warm hearted. We recommend this sanctuary to anyone who wants to enrich their lives and move forward.
A uniquely magical experience. From the moment you leave your shoes by the lotus pool to receive the warm welcome of a garland and king coconut, a sense of kindness and care envelops you.This is heartfelt. Every dish you eat is prepared with a knowledge of what will nourish your body and soul. Every treatment is administered by skilled practitioners who have taken the trouble to understand your individual physical and emotional state and to restore balance and harmony from the inside out.The sounds of this stunning enclave, hidden away down a winding track where peacocks strut and monkeys gambol, are those that evoke both stillness and awe. The sea declares its majesty and power on a peerless beach that nesting turtles call home. The constant and gentle swish of the lagoon and rustle of the trees that bound this space in natural seclusion, soothe and transport you to a deep place of calm.This is one of nature’s sacred spaces.Respect and honour for this is the ethos that guides life in this beautiful oasis which shines from the hearts of the remarkable team. Skilled in so many arts from Ayurvedic medicine and therapy, yoga, reiki, sound healing and, with simplicity and grace, a level of hospitality and care that is humbling.The mishap or the unusual request is met with unruffled efficiency. (My glasses broke and instead of facing a week in a blur and the prospect of navigating an airport when scarcely able to read a sign, an impeccably restored pair of spectacles was returned to me in the shortest possible time - leaving me to wonder if an optician had been spirited out of a ring or a lamp!)My experience at Sen Wellness will be an abiding memory. I will carry away in my heart the echo of the sea, the voices and faces of beautiful people who made such a soulful sojourn possible with huge gratitude to everyone of them for all the skill, knowledge, compassion and care that were the key ingredients of this delightful interlude.(And on the subject of ingredients, I will also carry away the tantalising Sen Wellness cookbook, so the adventure continues…)
