The Milestone Detox

The Milestone Detox is an operating small-group wellness-retreat provider at Cart House Barn in Woolstone near Faringdon, England. Its current site publishes an active four-day programme and current contact details.

The four-day programme is built around vegetable juices, broth and supplements. Its published inclusions list Pilates, walking, infrared sauna and one colonic-hydrotherapy session, with other treatments available. It is a structured, restrictive stay rather than a general spa break. Confirm the dated schedule, room, complete food and supplement plan, practitioner credentials, price and cancellation terms before booking.

Detox and cleansing claims are not evidence that a programme removes toxins or produces lasting weight loss. Evidence for colonic irrigation is limited, and adverse effects can be serious; risk is higher with gastrointestinal disease, prior colon surgery, severe haemorrhoids, kidney disease or heart disease. Fasting and very-low-calorie plans can cause weakness, dizziness, dehydration and medicine-related problems. Do not change medication for a retreat; discuss the full programme with your own clinician.
