The Modern Mayr Detox is a medically based detox concept designed to cleanse the digestive system, rebalance the body, and promote long-term health. It’s an evolved form of the original Mayr Cure, developed by Austrian physician Dr. Franz Xaver Mayr, who believed that a healthy gut is the foundation of overall wellbeing. Today, the Modern Mayr approach combines traditional wisdom with modern medical science to help you reset both body and mind.


Understanding the Mayr Method

At the heart of the Mayr method is the idea that poor digestion contributes to many physical and emotional imbalances. The Modern Mayr Detox uses diagnostic testing, tailored nutrition, and lifestyle education to restore optimal digestive function.

The therapy is built around four key principles:

  • Cleansing – removing toxins and improving gut health.

  • Rest – giving the digestive system time to recover.

  • Education – learning healthy eating habits for life.

  • Substitution – introducing nutrient-rich, alkaline foods to support the body.

This gentle yet powerful approach is not about restriction or fasting, but about teaching your body how to digest, absorb, and regenerate effectively.


What Happens During a Modern Mayr Detox?

A Modern Mayr Detox retreat begins with a comprehensive medical assessment to understand your body’s unique needs. Based on this, a personalised plan is created, which typically includes:

  • An alkaline, cleansing diet to reduce inflammation and support the gut.

  • Mindful eating techniques, such as chewing slowly and eating without distractions.

  • Detoxifying therapies, including abdominal massages, hydrotherapy, and body wraps.

  • Light exercise like yoga, Nordic walking, or gentle stretching to aid circulation.

  • Medical monitoring and supplementation to rebalance the microbiome and boost vitality.


Each element works together to cleanse the system, strengthen digestion, and promote a lasting sense of wellbeing.


The Benefits of a Modern Mayr Detox

Those who complete a Modern Mayr Detox often experience:

  • Improved digestion and reduced bloating

  • Clearer skin and brighter eyes

  • Enhanced energy and focus

  • Better sleep and stress resilience

  • Sustainable weight management


Because it addresses the root cause of imbalance - the gut - results tend to be both transformational and long-lasting.
