Your Schroth diet.

A great number of women in menopause suffer from menopausal symtoms. The Schroth diet in our hotel in Oberstaufen can help reduce the symtoms naturally.

In many instances the hormonal changes in the body lead to heat flashes and increased perspiration, high blood pressure and sometimes even to weight gain. The Schroth diet as natural therapy counteracts this by stimulating the estrogen production. Further advantages are the feeling of significant rejuvenation and the mood-lifting effects.

Do something good for your body and yourself. Treat yourself to the timeout your body needs and use this time to relax in Oberstaufen. In our wellness hotel in Oberstaufen we take your wellbeing seriously and like to offer you many treatment options perfectly tailored for your regeneration.

Sporting activities can also lead to relaxation. Obviously many activities like skiing, cycling, mountainbiking and golfing can be done right on our doorstep here in Oberstaufen.

The Schroth diet in Oberstaufen in the Allgäu consists of four pillars: Diet, Wraps, Drinking rules and the alternation of rest and movement. But how does it work?

Learn more about the Schroth diet, which has been practised for more than 150 years in Oberstaufen in the Allgäu:

1. Schroth diet

The special Schroth diet dishes are prepared daily with fresh and local ingredients. They are calorie-reduced, almost salt-free, contain no animal protein or fat and are unirritating. Cooked and steamed vegetables and fruits combined with rice, pearl barley, semolina, dried fruits and fresh herbs our cooks produce delicious and appealing meals. The change of diet is supported by the way the dishes are arranged lovingly. After some days your body will get used to the new way and will use most energy for detoxification. The feeling of hunger vanishes almost completely.

2. Schroth wraps

Early in the mornings you will be woken up with hot herbal tea. Subsequently certified personnel will wrap you up in clammy wraps flavoured with citrus aroma. On top a dry, warm duvet will be placed. Additional heating pads lead to fast temperature increase and let your body temperature rise.

This wrapping technique has positive effects on your body:

• strengthens the body's own defence mechanisms
• stifles bacterial growth and enhances bacterial decay
• reduces pain and acts antispasmodic
• works calmingly on inner organs
• improves the condition of the skin
• detoxifies by expulsion of toxins

While at the beginning, the wraps will feel strange und unfamiliar, you and your body will learn to appreciate and look forward to this now consciously perceived feeling of detoxification. After being unwrapped you’ll experience a feeling of weightlessness.

3. Drinking rules

An alternation between drinking days and dry days encourages tissue drainage and the self-healing process during the Schroth diet in Oberstaufen.

The permitted amount of liquids per day will be individually prescribed by a doctor depending on clinical picture. During the Schroth diet you are allowed to drink water, tea even and some wine. On some days you’ll also get to drink fresh orange juice or tomato juice.

The health-promoting effect of moderate wine consumption

• the metabolism is improved
• it stimulates blood circulation
• it impedes bacterial growth in the intestines
• wine is rich in mineral content
• has antidepressant effect
• the HDL cholesterol levels are lifted
• is rich in antioxidants

Obviously, you can also choose to not consume alcohol.

4. Alternation between rest and movement

The detoxification process will be sped up by the alternation between rest and movement as well as the change of the daily intake of liquids. At the same time the spiritual well-being is enhanced. Just concentrate on yourself. The rest period on dry days is characterised by relaxation techniques, massages and walks in the beautiful nature. During the movement periods fat reduction and the metabolism will be stimulated.

Use this part of your Schroth diet for excursions in and around Oberstaufen and take part in our sport programme. For even more sport, take up a round of golf or go on a hike in Oberstaufen.

The Schroth diet is not a diet in the classical sense. However, you will still lose weight naturally.

Already in the first few days of the Schroth diet, you will feel the results of the calorie-reduced meals. After some days the feeling of hunger will also tone down significantly. Use both this effect and the fast feeling of fullness even after you’ve returned home to keep reducing weight. By starting you’ve already managed the hard part!

Due to the natural and healthy weight loss you’ll lose pounds without much effort - expect to lose around 3 kg per week.

Permanent weight problems lead to serious health consequences - whether diabetes, high blood pressure, joint pain, a heightened risk of a heart attack or other health issues, in the long run it is a matter of your health - and therefore your most important asset.

Therefore, a Schroth diet in Oberstaufen is the perfect start for a healthier future: Your stomach size will automatically be reduced, due to the greatly reduced amount of calories you’ll consume.
