AMCHARA’S APPROACH

IN THE 21ST CENTURY THERE ARE MANY FACTORS
THAT INFLUENCE OUR HEALTH & WELLBEING:

Factors That Influence Our Health & Wellbeing

IN THE 21ST CENTURY THERE ARE MANY FACTORS
THAT INFLUENCE OUR HEALTH & WELLBEING:

We work with you to review your relationship with nutrition together with interactions between genetic,
environmental and lifestyle factors, which can influence both your long term health and the development
of complex chronic disease.

FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE IS PERSONALISED HEALTH.

Amchara’s experienced Personalised Health practitioners combine naturopathic principles with Functional Medicine.
Your Personalised Health retreat can include advanced Functional Medicine laboratory tests to
measure your genetics, hormones and your gut health, enabling you to better understand your individual
circumstances and achieve optimal health.

Functional Medicine recognises health not simply as the absence of disease; we all have the potential to create our own good health.

Conventional medicine tends to have a disease-centred focus, looking at symptoms in isolation rather than cause,
whereas Functional Medicine aims to determine the root causes of health problems and put them right.
Our Personalised 360° Health approach can empower you to make long lasting, sustainable change, achieve optimal health,
and boost your wellbeing and happiness. Contact us today to find out how we can help you.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT AMCHARA

JUST BOOK IT, YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED

“What a wonderful place. The staff are the best, continually looking after you, offering advice and helping you to achieve your goals. The treatments are a real bonus, everything on offer is top quality and guaranteed to make you feel fantastic. Yoga in the morning and evening is the perfect way to start and end the day.”

Jackie, April 2022

A fantastic experience

Wonderful supportive staff. We had constant monitoring and attention. Our health was always the priority. Great accommodation. Met lovely like-minded people there as well. Yoga and walks all tailored to detoxification and wellbeing. It was the ‘pause/reset button’ I needed. Never any pressure. Protocols were personally tailored.

Maureen, May 2022

My life-changing happy place

My third and definitely not final visit. I arrived with high blood pressure, overweight and exhausted. I left with excellent blood pressure, lighter and relaxed. Amchara is my happy place. Staff is knowledgeable and discuss detailed personal health and lifestyle advice for your stay and beyond.

OPTIONAL EXTRAS TO ENHANCE YOUR STAY

SPA & HEALTH TREATMENTS

The rhythmic strokes and pressure applied to muscles, tissues and organs during a massage can help stimulate the circulatory system, releasing toxins from the body and aiding in the detoxification process. We also offer specialised reiki sessions, which can encourage healing and mobility in the body, whilst reducing feelings of stress and anxiety. Health and emotional support can help you make a long-lasting, positive change to your health outcomes on your journey to optimal health.

SUPER SUPPLEMENTS

To reach optimal health, you can include our optional super-supplementation range in your Personalised Health plan. We offer highly nutritional supplements on retreat including wheatgrass, blue-green algae, Aloe ferox, spirulina, turmeric, reishi mushroom, maca and mineral blend. Our Health Practitioners can work with you to develop a specific supplement programme to suit your needs.

TAILORED NUTRITION

We will review your current lifestyle and food habits and work with you to create a Personalised Health plan to suit your individual needs. Our retreats offer a variety of healthy food options, including raw, vegan, vegetarian and Paleolithic choices. You also have the option of soups, smoothies, juices and broths if you prefer a deeper detox or wish to fast.

1:1 SESSIONS

To help you facilitate change and identify ways to incorporate your new healthy lifestyle habits when you return home, you can benefit from 1:1 coaching, hypnotherapy and neuro linguistic programming (NLP).

COLONICS

Over time, undigested waste accumulates in the colon, leading to reduced ability to absorb essential nutrients and increasing the risk of a hampered immune function. Cleansing your colon improves your health by removing toxins and easing your bowel movements, allowing for increased energy, kickstarting weight loss and encouraging a whole body detox.

TESTING

Test don't guess! At Amchara we offer you the opportunity to have a highly comprehensive test that analyses your digestive tract to objectively evaluate the status of your gut health and identify contributing factors to gastrointestinal complaints and other chronic system conditions.

TAILORED NUTRITION –
CHANGING YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH FOOD

In the Western world our food has changed more in the
last 60 years than in the previous 10,000.

Research has shown that combinations of sugar and fat can be
addictive and committing to healthy dietary changes can be
challenging. Bad habits around these foods, and other addictive
substances, are quick to form and hard to break.

Your retreat will offer a variety of healthy food choices including
raw, vegan, and Palaeolithic eating plans. Deeper detoxes may
incorporate broths, soups, smoothies, juices as well as juice
cleansing or water fasting.

All our food is freshly prepared and organic wherever possible.
We will review your current lifestyle and nutritional choices and
work with you to create a Personalised Health plan.

FASTING – THE ULTIMATE DETOX

Fasting facilitates powerful, rapid and safe detoxification and stimulates the body’s natural healing processes. There are many types of fasting – our Personalised Health team will discuss which type is suitable for you, dependent on your personal medical history and health goals.

When you fast your body goes into ketosis, which means you draw energy from your natural energy reserves – fat – rather than from food. One key advantage of fasting is it reduces IGF-1, an immune marker that has been associated with increased risk of cancer, arthritis and diabetes.

Your body has a number of mechanisms to naturally detox, but over time toxins can build up. Fasting as part of your detox retreat can boost your body’s immune system, brain function and metabolism, as well as improving the health of your skin and helping you lose weight.

Working with your Personalised Health team can help kickstart your journey to optimal health.

TESTS TO ENHANCE
YOUR AMCHARA EXPERIENCE

To support you to achieve 360° optimal health we operate a series of functional tests and can produce a personalised health plan that is tailored to your needs and goals.

These advanced tests are not readily available on the NHS and include urine, saliva, blood and stool analysis. The different packages we offer can examine your hormones, gut health and genetic health in detail.

Your tests are sent to our partner laboratory for results processing, allowing us to identify your unique ‘fingerprint’ of health.
