The F.X. Mayr Cure is a special form of fasting named after the Austrian physician Dr. Franz Xaver Mayr. This cure is based on the principles of Mayr Medicine, which emphasizes a holistic approach to digestive system health. The main goal of the F.X. Mayr Cure is to cleanse the digestive tract, improve intestinal health, and thereby promote the well-being of the entire body.

The F.X. Mayr Cure typically includes several aspects:

1. Gentle fasting period: During the cure, participants practice a mild form of fasting, consuming only light, easily digestible foods. This may include soups, broths, unsweetened teas, and diluted juices. Solid foods that are heavy and difficult to digest are avoided.

2. Cleansing and detoxification: During fasting, methods for cleansing and detoxifying the digestive tract are also employed. This includes special drinking cures, such as drinking alkaline healing water or Glauber's salt for colon cleansing, as well as the application of abdominal massages or wraps.

3. Education on eating behavior: Another important component of the F.X. Mayr Cure is education on eating behavior. Participants learn to eat more consciously, chew more slowly, and pay attention to the signals of their bodies. The goal is to establish a healthy and balanced dietary pattern that supports digestion and promotes well-being.

4. Stress reduction and relaxation: In addition to dietary changes and detoxification of the digestive tract, the F.X. Mayr Cure also emphasizes stress reduction and relaxation techniques. This includes practices such as yoga, meditation, breathing exercises, and nature walks, which can help calm the body and mind and improve overall well-being.
