Our mission for our guests and society
What do we do for our guests?
Therapeutic fasting and integrative medicine help our patients to overcome or prevent physical and mental illness, enabling them to regain or preserve their quality of life and functional capacity. We see it as our duty above all to raise awareness of how to lead a healthy life. Through our treatments and services, our guests can activate their self-healing powers. In addition, the programmes we offer contribute to promoting a greater awareness of the body, soul and spirit as one entity to enable personal development. Through our approach, we empower and motivate people to strive for greater balance, satisfaction and harmony.
Our mission statement
Buchinger Wilhelmi is a leading clinic for therapeutic fasting, nutrition and integrative medicine.
“We empower people to live a healthy and fulfilling life”
The Buchinger Wilhelmi programme is based on the fasting method developed by the clinic’s founder, Dr. Otto Buchinger (1878 – 1966). This method has been continuously honed over three generations and in cooperation with university research centres. The services we offer are designed to preserve, promote and restore health.
We pursue a holistic approach that recognises the body, mind and spirit as one entity in the healing and growth process. In this respect, the focus is on therapeutic fasting and personal medical care. Conscious nutrition, physical exercise and spiritual inspiration round off the range of services and are as important for the regeneration of the body and spirit as are physical treatments and exercise in nature.

Our mission for our guests and society
What do we do for society?
We actively encourage more personal initiative in handling the natural resources we rely on for our existence with care. We consider this to be important to create a greater sense of responsibility to the environment and society.
We are part of our town and region as well as being an important employer. By cooperating with regional companies, we help to boost the prosperity of the surrounding area in the long term. We promote art and culture in the region and encourage our guests and employees to engage in a lively dialogue with the artists and their works.
Our guiding principles
Quality
We promote a culture of continuous development to offer our guests the best medical and therapeutic care and an adequate level of service.
Our high quality standards are checked regularly by external specialists. When hiring staff, we not only consider their professional expertise, but also their social skills, because care, team work and empathy are essential for the success of our work. We also invite our guests to asses our performance on an ongoing basis. Their satisfaction is the yardstick by which we measure the quality of our services.
Our guiding principles
Regeneration
For us, regeneration means continuously evolving. We gain inspiration to find the best solutions from our own studies as well as through our networks, including medical associations and university institutes. We encourage our employees to contribute innovative ideas to improve our processes, treatments and services.
Our guiding principles
Holism
We pursue a holistic approach that recognises the body, mind and spirit as one entity in the healing and growth process. In addition to therapeutic fasting and personal medical care, we therefore focus our attention on other aspects that help to boost our guests’ inner strength. A healthy diet, physical exercise and spiritual inspiration such as art and music are as important in this respect as nature and silence.
Our guiding principles
Harmony
We are convinced that a harmonious ambience is conducive to successful treatment and the satisfaction of our guests. Our clinics and gardens are therefore designed to allow our guests to experience peace of mind in calming surroundings. In this special atmosphere, far away from everyday life, they can reflect, find a new purpose and heal.
Our guiding principles
Sustainability
We are committed to sustainable development that gives equal consideration to social, ecological and economical aspects. We encourage our guests to adopt a sustainable healthy lifestyle and promote our employees’ personal development on an ongoing basis. Our value-based management style fosters the responsible use of natural resources.
