Toxins are an inevitable cost of modern living, hindering your internal equilibrium. To reclaim true vitality, detoxification must be an act of precision, not chance. The most effective pathway is through a truly encompassing retreat that resets your inner architecture.
At Dharana at Shillim, a luxury wellbeing retreat, detox is a healing journey where we apply precision pathways to your wellbeing. This journey seamlessly integrates the timeless structure of the ayurvedic dinacharya (daily routine), with cutting-edge clinical insights to create a custom detox protocol for lasting wellbeing.
At Dharana, every detox begins with a diagnostic lens. Our doctors and wellbeing experts assess your inner architecture through clinical evaluations, metabolic markers, body-composition indicators, and stress-response patterns. Based on these insights, your programme is mapped across the Five Pathways of Dharana Sleep, Mindfulness, Nutrition, Movement, and Emotional Balance—to create a detox blueprint that is individual, precise, and measurable.
1. Nourishment as medicine
Wisdom in the soil. Detox begins with what you consume. Our cuisine embodies wisdom in the soil—using sustainably sourced, seasonal ingredients from our organic farms, prepared with precision and personalised according to your Ritucharya (seasonal routine) to maximise nutrient absorption and minimise toxic burden
2. Movement that cleanses
One of the most effective ways to shed toxins is intentional movement. Our curated nature trails and treks in the Shillim forest leverage the landscape that restores you, creating a state of balance that simultaneously invigorates the body, releases toxins through the skin, and guides you toward mental clarity.
Our protocols emphasise somatic release and improved vagal tone, allowing movement to support emotional detox as much as physical cleansing.
3. Increase Your Water Intake
Hydration at Dharana is not incidental; it is structured. Guided by your metabolic type and detox goals, your hydration plan supports kidney filtration, lymphatic flow, and cognitive clarity. Herbal infusions and seasonal tisanes crafted by our doctors further assist in reducing oxidative stress and flushing metabolic waste.
4. Precision and Personalisation:
At our detox retreat, experts manage all facets of your wellbeing with a healing by nature approach. Integrating the age-old goal of harmonising the doshas with modern, clinically-backed therapies and rituals to create a sustainable roadmap for physical and mental balance.
Each guest works with a multi-disciplinary wellbeing team—Ayurveda physicians, naturopathy doctors, physiotherapists, movement experts, and mindfulness practitioners—who co-create your detox pathways. This ensures that every ritual, therapy, and meal is clinically justified and purposefully timed to optimise circadian alignment and cellular repair.
The healing retreat prioritises your wellbeing through its holistic but clinically proven approach. The wellbeing programmes aim to harmonise your doshas and help create a balance between the physical and the mental.
5. Clinical Therapies That Anchor Detox
Detox at Dharana is anchored in scientifically validated therapies that enhance metabolic efficiency and cellular recovery. These may include naturopathic hydrotherapies, colon management under supervision, personalised breathwork for autonomic reset, acupuncture for energy balance, and physiotherapy-led movement sessions to strengthen musculoskeletal resilience. Each modality is selected based on your diagnostics and aligned to your Five Pathways roadmap.
