Healing Therapies

Detox

Guided dietary cleansing and fasting protocols to prepare the body for ceremony and deepen the healing process.

The body is the foundation of all healing. When we eat clean, sleep deeply, and remove the substances that dull our sensitivity, we dramatically increase our capacity to receive and integrate the gifts of plant medicine — and life in general.

Mariri offers guided detox programs of varying lengths: from a 2-day juice cleanse to a full 7-day program incorporating fasting, herbal teas, colonics, and light movement. These programs are designed both as preparation for deeper ceremonial work and as standalone healing retreats for those seeking physical regeneration.

Our detox protocols are supervised by experienced practitioners who understand both the physiological process of cleansing and the emotional layers that often emerge as the body releases stored toxins. Detox can be surprisingly emotional — old grief, anger, or fear may surface as the body lets go. Our team is present to support the full spectrum of what arises.

Detox programs are offered independently and as preparatory add-ons to plant medicine retreats.

Lineage & Tradition

Our detox protocols draw from naturopathic medicine, Ayurvedic panchakarma principles, and the traditional Amazonian dieta — the cleansing dietary practice used by healers to build relationship with plant teachers. The dieta's core principle — that purity of body creates receptivity of spirit — informs all of our cleansing work.

Preparation

Begin reducing caffeine, alcohol, and processed foods at least one week before a detox program to ease the transition. Comfortable, loose clothing is recommended throughout. Please disclose all medications and supplements before beginning any fasting or cleansing protocol, as these may affect safety. Detox programs are typically residential at Mariri.
