Summer Detox Retreat Week Scotland
2pm Monday 2nd – 5pm Saturday 7th July 2007

We have sculpted this week to go beyond the standard detoxification experience of focusing on the physical and will venture deep into the cause of digestive disharmony, repetitive weight gain, allergies, and low energy.
In addition to offering colonics, Qi Gong, yoga and massage, we will be providing new approaches to this age old problem.

Teachings will include the latest findings and studies on how to optimise and harmonize the different body systems for a happy healthy body and mind.

You will also have the opportunity of working with two of the Uk’s leading herbalists. One of whom specialises in nutrition.

The essence of Lendrick Lodges spiritual heart will flow through this week, within the Qi Gong, a Native American Sweat Lodge and meditations. Lendrick’s supportive friendly staff will also guarantee a beautiful experience within a centre that has been manifesting dreams for thousands of people for two decades.

Detoxification

Detox, short for detoxification, is the body's natural, ongoing process of neutralizing or eliminating toxins from the body. Toxins (anything that can potentially harm body tissue) are transformed chemically to less harmful compounds and excreted via stools or urine.

In a normal healthy body, the detoxification system that consists of the large and small intestines, urinary system, lymphatic system, skin, lungs and liver ensures that the body detoxifies itself. But heavy pressure and overuse of these systems can result in a break down in these mechanisms over time.
The increase in the amount of toxins in the body results in stress in the immune system that eventually breaks down due to overwork.

Following a detox diet facilitates a continuous process of neutralizing and eliminating the toxins in the body. Initially known for elimination of excessive alcohol and drugs from the body, detox is now being used more extensively for the process of elimination of any kind of toxins that may be present in the body.

The goals of the detox program you will experience during the week are to remove toxins, return the desired flora in your internal system, maintaining a balanced pH level in the body and improve your overall mind and body relationship.

The programme also aims to create a mental shift in your attitude towards diet and nutrition. This holistic approach towards detoxification can ensure that undesired bacteria are not regenerated in the system restarting the process of toxification.

The actual long-term benefits of a detox program are sustained energy, healthier skin, improved digestion, easy and regular bowel movement leading to a sound body and a mind capable of higher levels of concentration and performance. All this leads to the prevention and cure of headaches, joint pains and a higher level of immunity towards most diseases.
