Ananda Detox Resort Facilities

Salt-Water Swimming Pool

At Ananda’s, you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the pool, that is open all day and evening, or simply relax in the warm sun. 

The swimming pool operation hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. daily. You can enjoy all the benefits derived from the negative ions and natural mineral salts as you swim. Special filtration is used to keep the swimming pool 100% free of all chlorinated products and sparkling clean.

Thai Massage

For more than a thousand years, this therapeutic healing practice has existed in Thailand. The Traditional Thai massage has been greatly influenced by Taoist philosophy and practices, and by traditional Chinese medical concepts, including both acupressure and acupuncture.

Thai massage is unique and beautiful, with the sitting position and the hand positioning used to apply pressure, and in the soothing transition sequence.

You may be asking yourself, is the Ananda’s Detox purification program necessary for me?

Purification program

What can a purification program do for me?

We clean our homes and our bodies, but most people don’t give much thought to their insides until they start having problems.  But periodic cleansing of the inside of the body will not only improve physical health, but will lead to better emotional, mental and spiritual well-being as well.  A process of purification can help the body clear itself of built up mucus and toxins that lead to illness and feelings of depression and anxiety.

Studies have shown that cleansing the internal organs through fasting and detoxification can improve strength, reduce anxiety, improve circulation and relieve many illness symptoms.  Purification also slows the aging process and fortifies the immune system.  Many people report feeling lighter and cleaner.

Purification doesn’t have to be  limited to physical cleansing and detoxification.  Many people report a feeling of peace after a cleanse.  Thought processes are generally a direct result of a person’s emotional state.  Purifying the emotions can directly influence thoughts and ideas, leading to a better state of mind, as well as improved health.    Yoga and meditation during a cleanse can help you become more aware of your thoughts and emotions, leading to an even greater sense of peace and tranquility.

Healthy Food and Juices

We all know the importance of a good diet and healthy food and juices are the staple. 

Detox Diets

You only need to do a quick search on the internet about detox’s to be inundated with information about detox diets, one of the most popular methods for undertaking detoxification. Detox diets are quite simply a diet plan that state they have effects that encourage detoxifying in the body.

Detox diets state that most foods contain many differing ingredients that are no necessary for human life such as enhancers, colouring, pesticides and the added preservatives. Even though health practitioners such doctors think there is nothing harmful in undertaking the diets (unless there is extreme deficiency in nutrients as a result) they are all of the understanding that there is no need for them. In some cases people have actually seen their symptoms get much worse due to the delays in getting proper medical help due to firstly trying to undertake a detox diet.

Detox diets can include eating a very narrow range of foods for instance some diets have you only consuming fluids like water or special juices, this is known as juice fasting, this takes away from someone eating certain food groups such as fats and carbohydrates.

The diets themselves are normally high in fiber, many people claim the reasoning behind this is that it will then cause the body to burn any stored fat. They claim that this method releases any fat toxins into the blood which can then me flushed from the body via urine, faeces and skin (sweat). This claim however has been highly criticised also for not giving accurate facts of what could be the human body going through ketosis.

Even though undertaking something like this for a short period of time may not cause harm, any lengthy exposure to such a diet or fasting can have dangerous long term effects and could even be fatal.
