WORLD\u2019S LEADING CLINICS FOR THERAPEUTIC FASTING, INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE AND INSPIRATION<\/p>\n

Welcome to the Buchinger Wilhelmi clinics<\/h2>\n

We know how to help you live a healthy life!<\/p>\n

More than 100 years ago, our great-grandfather Dr. Otto Buchinger, founder of our clinics and the Buchinger therapeutic fasting method, contemplated the body and soul. Even then, it was clear to him that a body can only be healthy if the soul is content. Nature was his \u201chealth spa\u201d, and literature, music and art his nourishment for the mind and soul.<\/p>\n

He was constantly driven by the desire to be “always alert and attentive”.<\/p>\n

What drives us is the desire to continue this legacy by constantly evolving the Buchinger therapeutic fasting method and, accordingly, our Buchinger Wilhelmi AMPLIUS programme. We want to accompany you during your fast to ensure that it is a wonderful, positive, happy, and even life-changing experience.<\/p>\n

TRADITION, EXPERIENCE, SCIENCE<\/p>\n

In 2023 we are celebrating a double anniversary!<\/h3>\n

It is now more than 100 years since our clinic founder Dr. Otto Buchinger treated his first patients using the fasting method he developed. This year, we have achieved two further milestones at Buchinger Wilhelmi: The clinic on Lake Constance celebrates its 70th<\/sup> anniversary, and the clinic on the Costa del Sol its 50th<\/sup> \u2013 a good reason to look back with gladness and gratitude. We have carried out numerous scientific studies and published a great number of articles and books. And, most importantly, lots of happy, satisfied patients have fasted with us \u2013 and enjoy coming back here again and again.<\/p>\n
