The Detox Cottage

Host: Dara Rhodes – holistic health practitioner with 12 years of study, currently pursuing a PhD in Holistic Health and Healing. Dara emphasizes returning to “Human Nature” through detoxification and simple health practices.

Note: This retreat is hosted at a private house. For that reason, the actual address will only be made public after a booking is made.

The offerings strongly focus on detoxification practices aligned with fasting and cleansing philosophies, including:

1. Fruit-Based Detox Approach

   • Philosophy: Humans are natural frugivores; fruit is positioned as the most detoxifying, hydrating, and energizing food.

   • Effects: Cleans lymph, removes mucus/plaque/fats/acids, hydrates on a cellular level, fuels every cell, heals at a cellular level, prevents illness, slows aging, and kills pathogens.

2. Six-Week Detoxification Course

   • Content: Teaches cellular detoxification and regeneration.

   • Goal: Equips participants with knowledge to heal the human body from virtually any disease.

3. Integrated Detox Treatments

   • Gua Sha: Releases stagnation and toxins under the skin, improves circulation, boosts immune system, relieves pain, and facilitates emotional trauma release.

   • Skin + Pore Cleaning Scrub: Deep cleanses with a vodka-based mineral elixir to remove dead skin, toxins, bacteria, parasites, and clear pores for effective sweating and detox.

   • Infrared Sauna: Burns ~600 calories per session, deeply detoxifies cells (including heavy metals and chemicals), strengthens immune system, regenerates tissues, and aids in numerous conditions (arthritis, obesity, mood disorders, etc.).

   • Yoga + Breathwork: Activates lymphatic and glandular systems, detoxifies, strengthens nervous system, purifies blood, enhances endocrine functions, and promotes emotional and mental healing.

   • Ice Bath: Strengthens immune system, improves circulation, detoxification, metabolism, hormone balance, and provides mental resilience.
