How can I help the body switch to fasting mode?

When you come to fast at one of our Buchinger Wilhelmi clinics, we first use an enema or a laxative. This cleaning of the intestine helps your body to transition to fasting mode.

On day 1 of your programme, you can use an enema or take sodium sulphate (10–40 g, depending on your body weight), magnesium sulphate (10–40 g depending on your body weight) or any other laxative recommended by your pharmacist.

The required materials are available from your pharmacist or from our online shop.
