Welcome to The Home Detox Sanctuary Cleansing Programs

We invite you to look over this brochure before starting your program. This will provide you all the information you need before scheduling your intake with either Catherine or Natalie, who are part of our highly skilled Wellness team and will answer any questions you may have

We will send you more detailed information about The Sanctuary Home Detox, which we suggest you read during your Cleanse. This handout is simply your practical introductory guide for our Sanctuary Home Detox Program.

We do hope that you will use the time while you wait for your Home Detox to arrive to prepare for the Cleanse by eating a simple diet of just vegetables and fruits whilst drinking plenty of water. Do inform us at the intake if this is not the case, as you may need to take a few days of eating a raw/veggie diet or take an alkalizing shot of lime and baking soda before starting the full program.

# Before your Cleanse

The first evening before you start your Cleanse just before bed you will take 3 herbal capsules. In the morning of your Cleanse at 7 am you will take a psyllium/clay/cinnamon detox fiber shake to be which you will mix with water. At 8.30 am you will take 6 herbal capsules. This will all be explained to you in more detail during your intake.

We like to know your acidity levels so we can suggest ways to make the cleanse smoother for you. This involves taking a saliva sample when you have not taken anything in the mouth for 2 hours. We suggest you wait until 40 minutes after your last meal that day, take one glass of water, and then have no food or drink or teeth-brushing for the next two hours. You also have the option to test your urine without the need to wait 2 hours.  Your pH test should be within the range of 6.8 (acidic) and 7.2 (alkaline). If it is below this score we suggest you make an alkalizing shot of baking soda and lime and take this every day of your cleanse if needed.

# The Intake Process

We will schedule your intake with either Catherine or Natalie, who will help you guide you through your Home Detox and assess whether you need to add any Overlay Programs. We have a number of options to choose from during your Cleanse, so the more informed you are from reading the guide before the intake, the better we can help you.

# Your evening prior to the Cleanse 

You will be given preparatory Detox herbs which are to be taken before bed. These are usually a pack of 3 intestinal cleansing capsules, depending on your specific program, you may have more to take 3 more.

# The Tongue Scraper

We have sent you is to encourage a great practice to get into. You will notice as you detox, the tongue coating will thicken – these are toxins, and it is wise to scrape the tongue clean morning and night. Also great to use in everyday life as we will talk about in our Cleanse talks.

Program choices

We offer a range of Cleansing Programs which we will discuss with you during your intake. If you have already made a booking with us, we understand that you may wish to still discuss the option in person, and adjustments to your existing program can be made. These are available for any length of time you wish.

  • The Complete Cleanse – full fasting program where we will provide you with ingredients/recipes for your shakes and green juice, as well as additional supplements: psyllium/clay drinks, herbal supplements and colonics.
  • The Gentle Cleanse – similar to Complete Cleanse with psyllium drinks and herbal supplements, but with one light lunch instead of a lunchtime shake. Optional colonics.

# Specific Cleansing Programs

Available as an overlay on either of the above outlines for an additional 700 bht a day

The Candida Cleanse is for those who are concerned about having a fungal overgrowth, which is indicated when you have symptoms of chronic fatigue, mind fog, sugar cravings and bloating, thrush, recurrent UTIs, sinus issues, skin/nail fungus infections and joint pain. This condition is fairly easy to assess during your personal intake

We give you ingredients/recipes for your shakes and green juice, as well as a whole array of additional supplements: herbal capsules, GSE, oregano oil and pau d’arco powder.

The Heavy Metal Detox is advised if you live or have ever lived in a big city where you have been exposed to heavy air pollution and city water, and also if you have amalgam /silver/mercury fillings. Symptoms include general fatigue, mind fog, irritated nervous system, tingling or numbness in extremities, anemia, heart palpitations or thyroid issues

We give you ingredients/recipe for your shakes and green juice, as well as a whole array of additional supplements: milk thistle, charcoal; chlorella, NAC and chelator capsules.

The Parasite Cleanse

The Parasite Cleanse is advised if you experience stomach pains, intestinal cramping, gas and indigestion, with or without anal itching, general tiredness and mood swings, anemia, grinding the teeth at night, occasional itchy skin and sugar cravings or nausea after eating sweets

# Choices of Enema

We recommend scheduling your colonic 1 hour in your day preferably in the morning. Please watch the video we have sent you which explains in detail how to do your colonic.

Coffee – the classic choice inspired by the Gerson Therapy which has great success with cancer recovery programs. Coffee through the rectum stimulates the bile to eliminate the toxins of the liver as well as the production of Glutathione S-transferase, one of the most important antioxidants in the body. If you are sensitive to caffeine we suggest that you choose to do the coffee in the morning so your sleep is not disturbed. If you are a heavy coffee drinker, you may find that having this option in the morning may alleviate the side effects of coffee withdrawal, making it a good option for an easier cleanse.

Probiotic – live effective micro-organism probiotics are an excellent way to heal the gut. This is the standard last enema in your cleanse program to recolonize your colon with positive bacteria and can be chosen at any time.

# Implants 

These are also available for those who wish to super-boost their Cleanse. An implant is a rectal administration of a concentrated substance with a small (80 ml) enema bulb. You will self-administer in your own room and your body will simply absorb the liquid.  This is an additional extra program of 500 baht for the first day, 300 baht for each day thereafter unless you are on a Complete Cleanse program and prefer this over colonics.  

Choose either a Wheatgrass implant which gives a great energy boost as it’s loaded with electrolytes and minerals; Liquid Probiotics Implant to super encourage the positive bacteria in the colon; or a Coffee Implant will help to reduce a coffee withdrawal headache as well as giving you a super boost of antioxidant Glutathione.

# Choice of Psyllium Shakes

We provide you with psyllium and clay, which you mix with water to make your own shake. For a bit of variety (and flavour!), you may want to add your own ingredients:

Cinnamon and ginger powder can be added to your shake to flavor it up as well as improve circulation and aid in the cleansing process.

Probiotics can be added to your shake but this cannot be taken with the clay as the clay absorbs the benefits of the probiotics. Your 1 pm shake is automatically a probiotic shake to ensure good bacteria are thriving in the small intestines.

Your Cleanse Schedule

You will be sent a Progress Chart which you will follow throughout the days. It may look a lot but is simple to follow. 

First thing in the morning please take a look at your tongue and use the tongue scraper we provide to assess how much toxic matter is coming out. 

At 7 am you will prepare your own psyllium and bentonite clay shake with cinnamon in your own room. Empty the three sachets of powders/ paste into the container and add water to be ¾ full and shake. Drink immediately and follow with another glass of water. Please note: if you are taking any medication please take at least 45 minutes away from your psyllium shake. 

At 8:30 am you will take the 6 capsules with water in your own space. Three are Intestinal Cleansers & three are an Herbal Nutritional blend. If you are on one of our Specific Overlay Cleanses you will also be provided with additional supplements.

At 10 am Mix up your psyllium and clay shake with your choice of flavour.

11.30 am Herbs

1 pm This shake will be your probiotic shake to give you a full pre and probiotic combination healing drink. You may have this with the cinnamon-ginger for taste. This shake does not include the clay.

At 2:30 pm Your homemade Green Juice of green apples, celery, cucumber, lime, coriander, and spinach. Those on the Candida and the Parasite program will not use apples in their Green Juice 

4 pm Mix up your psyllium and clay shake with your choice of flavour.

5.30 pm Herbs

At 7 pm Enjoy a hearty broth. See ‘measurements’ file for the recipe. At 8:30 pm you will take your herbs and try to get an early sleep as rest is essential to your healing journey.

During Your Cleanse

While cleansing, most people go through cycles of feeling good at times and not so good at others. This is to be expected and is perfectly okay! 

Your body will be dumping large amounts of toxins from all layers of the body into the elimination systems. These responses and reactions of the body during cleansing are often referred to as cleansing reactions or a healing crisis. These common reactions include headaches, body aches, muscle aches, sweating, rashes, bad breath, sleepiness or disturbed sleep, weakness, dizziness and occasionally nausea. The cleansing reactions occur simply because the body cannot remove the toxins and acid as fast as they are being released from the body. Everybody can expect to experience a few mild cleansing reactions; however, you should always feel relatively good. You may also have light sleep.

If you are struggling at any time, remember that our trained Wellness team, Catherine and Natalie, are here to help and will do their best to put you at ease and suggest ways to alleviate your discomfort. 

This is your gift of retreat to embrace every moment with yourself!

Ending Your Cleanse


Please read our Post Cleanse Information Sheet before your last full day of the Cleanse. This part of the process is equally important as the Cleanse itself.

We hope that you will continue to enjoy clarity and peace from your Home Detox with us and that you may enjoy superb health and a more vibrant you.

We hope to hear from you again soon!

With warmth and gratitude,

The Sanctuary Crew
