Detox and fasting retreats in Polokwane run from short juice cleanses and guided water fasts to longer programs built around raw food, colon hydrotherapy, or intermittent fasting protocols paired with daily movement, sauna or steam sessions, and one-on-one consultations with a nutritionist or naturopath. Most stays run from three days to two weeks, with the retreat handling meal plans (or supervised fasting), body treatments, and some form of health monitoring for the length of the program. We've found 13 of these operators around Polokwane, ranging from small guesthouse-style setups to larger wellness properties with full medical or naturopathic staff on site.
