The Schroth Principle
DETOX AND ALKALINE FASTING WITH THE SCHROTH CURE
Around 150 years ago, Johann Schroth developed a therapeutic cure that has endured into the modern age. The Schroth Cure has long been scientifically recognised and is based on a vegan, alkaline and low-salt fasting diet intended to cleanse and detoxify the entire body. Detox is therefore not merely a modern trend, but a principle that has been established for many years through the Schroth Cure as a means of helping to prevent and alleviate illness.
For decades, the health resort of Oberstaufen has been regarded as the leading centre of the Schroth Cure. Millions of people have experienced the benefits of this treatment over the years. Many return regularly to repeat the cure and support their health.
Oberstaufen Guest Services has compiled a comprehensive overview containing all essential information about the Schroth Cure:

The Four Pillars of the Schroth Cure
The Schroth Diet
The cure involves fasting, but not going hungry. The Schroth diet consists of calorie-reduced, alkaline food without animal fat or protein and with almost no salt. This is intended to relieve the metabolism and initiate the detoxification process.
The Schroth Pack
In the early morning hours, guests receive a full-body wrap known as a Schroth pack. By stimulating peripheral circulation and activating the metabolism, it is intended to support the breakdown and removal of accumulated metabolic waste products and toxins.
Although the pack may feel unfamiliar at first, over the course of the cure it usually becomes a consciously experienced and pleasantly perceived part of the detoxification process.
The Drinking Plan
In a carefully structured rhythm and in accordance with medical instructions, guests are given medicinal water, teas and fruit juices, as well as dry, natural wines.
Rest and Exercise
During the cure, it is important to find the right balance between rest and physical activity in order to support the active processes taking place in the body.
Look Forward To…
…sharing the fasting experience with others. To the feeling of lightness that often begins after just a few days. To a clearer mind that gives your thoughts and ideas more space. And to the number on the scales that may reward your efforts at the end of the cure.
Optimal Results
Massages, baths, specialised exercise therapies, aqua aerobics, hiking and gentle physical activity can help support the success of the cure. Make use of the available treatments and activities and ask the team for guidance.
The first few days certainly require discipline. After some time, however, the body is said to direct a large part of its energy towards cleansing and detoxification. Feelings of hunger gradually decrease and may almost disappear entirely.

NOT A DIET! GIVE CHANGING YOUR EATING HABITS A CHANCE…
Dietary Change Based on the Montignac Method
Buchinger therapeutic fasting is a well-established method of giving both body and mind a break and restoring new energy. For a limited period, solid food is avoided, with the focus placed on fluids, internal cleansing and mindfulness. Supported by tea, vegetable broth, water and gentle exercise, the body initiates regenerative processes that may have a positive effect on well-being, metabolism and mental clarity — a genuine opportunity to take time for yourself.
During the therapeutic fasting weeks at the INTEREST Vitalhotel Oberstaufen, you can expect a supportive fasting programme: begin the day with guidance and morning tea in our cosy lounge, take part in group meetings in the morning or evening, and choose from gentle exercise sessions and guided hikes — all entirely optional and at your own pace.
For shared support and conversation, the group meets in the restaurant at 12:00 noon and 6:00 pm for the fasting meal, offering nourishment, companionship and mindful moments.
