Natural cleansing and recoveryEvery body, its own path

Not fasting, but nourishing A 4-day, 3-night cleanse and recovery retreat in Ba Vì

Perhaps it is time to give yourself a few days, purely to look after yourself. A pause that lets the body carry less, rest, and slowly settle into a more balanced rhythm.

Listen to your body

Signs that your body is asking for rest

The body usually speaks up before any test result does. If you recognise yourself in the lines below, it may be time to pause.

  • Tiredness that lingers even after rest
  • Stress and pressure built up over a long time
  • Poor digestion, bloating, constipation
  • Low energy and little motivation
  • Wanting to change how you live but not knowing where to start
What makes it different

Cleansing at Ikigai is not simply fasting

During the cleanse the body takes a break from solid food. In its place come drinks made from organic vegetables and fruit with herbs, given in stages across the programme.

Alongside that runs a retreat schedule of meditation, breathwork, qigong, yoga and time to rest in nature.

Two courses

Choose gentle, or go deeper

Course 01 · 3 days, 2 nights

The gentle cleanse

A gentle natural programme combining herbs, liquid nutrition and rest, giving the digestive system a lighter load and the body time to recover from within.
Course 02 · 4 or 6 days

The deeper cleanse

For those who want a longer pause, with enough time for the body to adjust, rest and recover in stages. A gentle pace with professional support throughout, laying the ground for more mindful eating afterwards.

Who it suits

Who the programme is for

代謝

Metabolism that needs support

People who want to lighten the load after a long stretch of heavy eating and little movement. If you are being monitored for any health condition, speak to your doctor first and bring your latest results for our physician to review.

脾胃

Digestion and sleep

Those often bloated, with slow digestion or constipation. Those frequently tired, tense, or sleeping lightly.

習慣

Ready to change the rhythm

Those eating irregularly, moving little, living without much routine. Those who want a few days of rest to begin, and keep, a healthier way of living.

Worth knowing first

Feeling more tired in the first days is normal

Depending on your constitution you may feel hot, achy, light-headed, hungry or notice darker urine. These are common reactions when the body moves to a different way of eating, and they usually ease within a day or two.

The important thing is that you do not go through it alone. The Ikigai team checks each guest daily and adjusts the programme so every reaction stays within safe limits.

Recommended practice. The programme can be repeated once or twice a year, as a period for the body to rest, for eating habits to be adjusted, and for healthier routines to be re-established.

The programme is built to support rest, recovery and a better understanding of natural health. It does not replace medical examination, diagnosis or treatment. Results differ from person to person, depending on constitution and how closely the programme is followed.

After the journey

How not to slide straight back

A cleanse is the starting point, what decides the outcome is how you live afterwards. Choose food with a clear origin, cut back on processed food and industrial seasoning, eat slowly and chew well, and follow the Japanese habit of eating to about seven tenths full. Leave the stomach some room and the body keeps room to work.

Sometimes what we need is not one more thing added to our lives, but to gently set down what has been wearing us out for so long.
