If you’ve heard of it, you can probably try it in the medi-spa department at Lanserhof Tegernse. Sitting at the heart of the property, the medical department offers treatment, counselling and therapy rooms as well as spa facilities including a sauna, heated saltwater pool, yoga area and leafy atrium. Take your pick from craniosacral therapy, salt baths, Shiatsu, acupuncture, osteopathy, IV infusions, saliva tests, mesotherapy, singing bowl massage and hypnotherapy, to name but a few. The list is endless.

Unlike other medical spas, the programmes at Lanserhof Tegernse take a holistic approach to the medical side of wellness. Everything comes back to three healing principles: rest for the body, the mind and digestive system, cleansing for detoxification, and training in both fluid intake and the infamous Lanserhof chewing protocols.

You’ll be assigned one of eight resident doctors and set a programme – the foundation of your personal health journey. Together with your doctor, you can customise existing concepts or create a fully tailored stay. Programmes include everything you’d expect from a top notch medi-spa, from weight-loss and detox to longevity and brain health.

The team works hand in hand with local clinics for the most hi-tech health tests, but there is also a mind-bogglingly menu of diagnostics in-house from endoscopy services to genetic analyses. Derma treatments form a key component of any stay, as the skin is the largest organ of the body, playing an essential role in detoxification. There are detox and JetPeel facials, and salt therapy with salts from the Dead Sea.

Lanserhof also offers its own Derma facial and body care range, which is produced using exclusively organic ingredients.

The design of each of the 70 rooms and suites focusses on the guest and their tranquillity. Flooded with light and decorated in harmonious, relaxing colours there are floor-to-ceiling windows and, in some rooms, a private terrace. Draped in white linens, beds are wonderfully comfortable – which really matters when you’re detoxing. The aesthetic is softened with plush rugs and sumptuous sofas or day beds.

The Lanserhof fasting cure, based on the methods of Austrian doctor FX Mayr, sets out to regenerate your intestines through detoxification. It is a focal point of any stay and your meal plans will be recommended by your doctor. There are some unshakable eating rules at Lanserhof – chew each mouthful 40 times and don’t consume any liquids before, after or during a meal. We can’t lie, most of the diet levels are restrictive and it can be challenging, but the food is tasty and includes organic, local and seasonal produce to optimise your digestive powers.
