CASAS PURA VIDA AND THE O3 INSTITUTE PROUDLY PRESENT OUR CLEAN & GREEN CLEANSING RETREAT PROGRAMS

Internal Cleansing in Paradise

The Nicoya Peninsula is renowned for being a “longevity zone” the people in this area are known to be some of the longest living on the planet. It is not uncommon to meet healthy, spry centurions in our village of Cobano.  The earth’s magnetic fields, the slow pace and the natural beauty all combine to make this area worthy of the title “Pura Vida.”

O3 Institute Mission Statement

We at the O3 Institute are committed to helping others to achieve and maintain the highest level of health possible. We provide assistance through education, herbal support, internal cleansing programs and esthetic skin care.

We believe that as one begins this return to a natural healthy state of being, one is able to more fully experience the presence of the Divine Energy at work in their lives.

Cleansing Program Menu

Prior to beginning any of the following programs we strongly suggest that you make some dietary modifications at home (suggestions to follow.) We also suggest that prior to your visit with us you begin taking a customized herbal formula to maximize your cleansing experience. We highly recommend Blessed Herbs Formulas they are all organic and we feel they are the “Cadillac” of herbal cleansing formulas. You may purchase them online at blessedherbs.com <http://blessedherbs.com>  . Also we very much like the Natures Sunshine formulas, which we use here in Costa Rica. You may also purchase those in your area. The program we recommend is the Strong, Healthy & Happy herbal cleansing program.

If you do not wish or do not have time to begin these programs prior to your visit with us we will begin you on a Natures Sunshine program when you arrive, the cost of these herbs are not included in your program so there will be an added charge upon your arrival.

It will accelerate your cleansing program if you are able to begin these formulas a week or two before you join us here for your Clean & Green Program. Please remember to bring your herbal formulas with you if you begin them at home.

Dietary Recommendations Prior to Beginning the Clean & Green Program

It is our desire that you have the most comfortable and at the same time profound cleansing experience during your Clean & Green Program. There are things that you can do at home to assist in helping you achieve this goal. If possible it would be helpful if you were able to taper down and ultimately eliminate all salt, oils, grains, meat, and dairy products, beans and alcohol from your diet. If you smoke this would be a good time to taper down. For 2- 3 days prior to your arrival at Casas Pura Vida eat mostly raw fruits and vegetables, you may make juices and or blend them with purified water if you like. It is advisable that you not combine fruits and vegetables however some people are able to do this without ill effects. If you have no yeast issues starting your day with fresh fruit (organic when possible,) can be very cleansing and rejuvenating. You may lightly steam greens or other light veggies and consume a large green salad daily. Also you may consume a fresh vegetable broth, with onions, parsley, carrots, beets, celery and beet greens. Strain the broth and sip as desired. Do not eat starchy vegetables such as potatoes and yucca; these have a gluing effect in the colon. Also bananas have a binding effect as well; begin to eliminate them prior to making your journey, apples are most cleansing and travel well. Avocados also make great travel food; they come in their own bowl!

We do hope that you are able to prepare prior to arriving for your Casas Pura Vida and 03 Institute Clean & Green Programs in order to maximize your cleansing experience.

Internal Cleansing has been known to reverse the aging process and assist the body in its natural healing processes. We strongly recommend that you begin your herbal cleansing programs prior to your departure and bring your programs with you. Of course we are here “Para Servirle,” To Serve You and we will meet and assist you whatever your need level may be. Do your best, relax, and most of all consider this to be an adventure. Your accommodations will be luxurious, our staff are some of the most experienced professionals in their fields and the beauty and tranquility of the Nicoya Peninsula will embrace you body, mind and spirit.

P.S. This will also be a time to “un-plug” from all the outside stressors in your life there will be no televisions to distract you and limited phone and internet access. It is helpful when cleansing to limit your exposure to positive Ion charges. The Nicoya Peninsula is rich with beneficial negative Ions, come, relax and enjoy the Pura Vida!
