A resort cleansing protocol: 21 days by default, 7 at minimum. Drinking cure, lymphatic drainage, saunas and baths — tracked by six measures from the watch and scales.
What it is. Classic Cure & Detox is the platform's base resort programme: a mineral drinking cure, drainage and heat procedures, and movement every day. The work is with digestion, water and salt balance and the body's ordinary routes of elimination — liver, kidneys, gut, lymph, skin.
How long it runs.21 days by default, 7 at minimum. A shorter stay is planned too, but the course is marked as shortened: the mid-stay examination and the repeat body-composition measurement appear only from a certain length.
The backbone. Mineral water three times a day, 150 ml each, 15–30 minutes before a meal; a walk of 30, 50 or 75 minutes at the chosen pace; the pool.
The core procedures. Apparatus lymphatic drainage, inhalations, the sauna world, foot whirlpool baths and the herbal baths — hemp, oat, beer.
What the course is judged by. Six measures: weight, body water per cent, BMI, stress, sleep score and steps. The first three arrive from the Garmin Index S2 smart scales, the other three from a Garmin Forerunner 165 Music watch.
Who decides. The algorithm builds a draft, the doctor signs it at the first-day examination and edits it as the stay goes (how the plan is assembled).
Who this text is for. The resort doctor and the spa coordinator, as a working manual; the guest choosing a course, as a description of it. Updated 22.08.2026.
What this programme is
Detox here is a resort term, not a magazine diet: there is no fasting and no cleansing supplement in the programme. What works is water, movement, heat and drainage — what Karlovy Vary has been doing for two hundred years, and what the hotel actually sells from its own price list.
The drinking cure is the doctor's prescription for taking mineral water: which spring, at what temperature, how much and how long before a meal. It is the body of the programme; the procedures and the walks are built around it.
The programme supports a way of living and does not replace treatment: the platform prepares a proposal, the resort doctor prescribes. The starred lines of the price list — lymphatic drainage, reflex zone massage — never enter a plan without that signature.
This is what the course looks like once assembled in the portal: a demonstration guest, a 14-day stay, standard pace and standard budget.
The Classic Cure & Detox programme in the portal: 14 days, 7 diagnostic entries, 37 procedure sessions, 14 walks and 42 servings of mineral water; 680 minutes of walking across the stay on top of the procedures. The bars below are each pillar's share of the course.×
The six measures of the course
Every programme carries its own list of measures. This one has six, and they fall into two blocks: metabolism and water (weight, body water, BMI) and the autonomic side with recovery (stress, sleep, steps).
The first three arrive from the scales, the second three from the watch. In the portal they sit on one page, so the doctor sees them together rather than by switching between screens.
Measure
Where it comes from
What it shows
Reference and threshold
Weight
Garmin Index S2 scales, a morning weighing on an empty stomach
how body mass moves across the stay
in the first week the shift is mostly water and the gut at work; the portal keeps morning and evening as separate lines
Body water per cent
the same scales, a weak current through the feet
overall hydration of the body
reference range: men 55–65 %, women 45–60 %; read as a line across the stay, not as one morning
BMI
weight and height
mass against height
recalculated at every weighing; on its own, without body composition, it says little
Stress
the watch, from heart-rate variability
the strain on the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system over the day
the morning sheet flags a daily average above 50 out of 100; the doctor moves the threshold in the panel
Sleep score
the watch
how much and how well the person slept
below 60 is a poor night, 60–79 fair, 80 and above good; sleep shorter than 6 hours is flagged as well
Steps
the watch
the day's volume of movement and the calf muscle pump at work
6,000, 8,000 or 10,000 steps a day, by the chosen pace

The backbone: water, walking, the pool
Three things are in the programme every day, and none of them uses up a paid slot.
The drinking cure.Three servings of 150 ml by default. The spring, the temperature and the timing are prescribed by the doctor as an entry of the plan of its own («Drinking cure prescription», 15 minutes, by prescription only). Between the water and the meal there is a 15–30 minute pause.
The walk. One of the guest's own every day: 30 minutes and 6,000 steps at the gentle pace, 50 minutes and 8,000 at the standard one, 75 minutes and 10,000 at the active one; routes of category I, II and III respectively (how the walk screen works). Guided Nordic walking stands in the core on top of that.
The pool. Four times a week, 60 minutes, included in the stay. In the evening the pool and the sauna world are the only things left that need no staff: the treatment rooms work 09:00–12:00 and 12:30–16:00, and on Sunday only until noon.
The drinking cure as the guest sees it: three springs a day at 150 ml, 30 minutes before a meal, 10 minutes to sip it, a 14-day course and the doctor's note.×
The core procedures and the extras
The core is what the algorithm schedules by itself while days and weekly limits allow. The figure in the «per week» column is the course's target; how many sessions actually land in the plan depends on the length of the stay, the budget (2, 3 or 4 paid slots a day) and the contraindications.
The extras. On a long stay with free slots the core is joined by classical massage (2 sessions a week), H₂ hydrogen therapy (2), reflex zone massage of the feet (1, by prescription), a wine bath (1), the Hydroxeur massage bath (1) and a pearl bath (1).
The weekly limit beats the target. Every procedure carries its own ceiling of sessions per seven days and its own gap between them; where target and ceiling disagree, the ceiling wins. A short stay therefore does not compress the course — it takes less of it.
There are no evening procedures in the plan. Everything that needs a room and staff ends at 16:00; the evening belongs to the pool and the sauna world.

How the course moves the measures
The link between a measure and a prescription is not a formula but resort practice: the doctor sees the deviation and takes from the core of the course what works on it. The platform keeps that link in plain sight, so the morning conversation is about numbers rather than about feeling unwell in general.
What the measure shows
What is taken from the course
Why this in particular
Body water below the range, or jumping from day to day
the drinking cure, apparatus lymphatic drainage, foot whirlpool baths
water and drainage work on the flow away from the periphery; the scales read with a weak current and react to what was eaten and drunk, so the line across the stay is what counts
Weight and BMI standing still
the gentle table, Nordic walking, the pool
aerobic work at a conversational pace and small frequent meals; in the first week the shift is water and the gut, not fat mass
Stress staying high
herbal baths (oat, hemp), a pearl bath, the salt steam room
heat and gentle mechanical work on the skin move autonomic regulation towards rest
Sleep short or broken
inhalations, an evening walk, calming baths
the morning sheet proposes the evening sleep protocol; the programme itself does not carry it — it arrives with the «Sleep focus» add-on or from the night correction
Too few steps
walking routes of category I and II, aqua gymnastics
the rhythmic work of the calf muscles clears venous and lymphatic stasis
The table and the shape of the day
The programme is given the gentle table — the one the resort keeps for a drinking cure. Portions are the hotel kitchen's business; the platform holds the shape of the day and the rules of the table, not a calorie count.
Small frequent portions, boiled and steamed food, nothing fried or spicy, warm rather than hot, eaten slowly.
The shape of the day is simple: water — a 15–30 minute pause — food. That is the Karlovy Vary part of the table, not an invention of the app.
The food diary and the water live on the same pages as the drinking cure: the guest writes them down (nutrition and water).
The night loop and safety
Every morning, never before 06:00, the night just past is compared against the guest's own average for this stay. What is free and the hotel's own the portal changes by itself; paid entries it only proposes to the doctor.
Paid entries never change themselves. Automatic swapping of a paid entry is a separate switch the hotel turns on, and even then no more than two entries change in a day.
A contraindication removes a procedure before the selection starts. There are ten flags; for this programme the ones that matter most are an acute cardiac condition and uncontrolled hypertension (they close the saunas), an acute skin condition (it closes the baths and the pool), oncology and acute illness (they close lymphatic drainage and the massages).
The cardiac group also lowers the pace. An acute cardiac condition, uncontrolled hypertension, oncology and acute illness bring the active pace down to the standard one, not merely strike entries out.
What the night sees
Default threshold
What happens to the plan
Heart-rate variability below their own average
−15 %
the included heat procedure comes off, the walk is cut by 30 % but never below 20 minutes
Resting heart rate above their own average
+5 bpm
the same, plus a line in the doctor's morning sheet
Sleep
under 6 h, or a score below 60
the evening sleep protocol among the sheet's advice
Stress
a daily average above 50
a breathing practice among the sheet's advice
Body Battery
below 40
the day counts as a light one, and demanding entries are proposed for a swap
Night-time blood oxygen
a fall below 90 %
the guest is shown to the doctor before the procedures: this is the one flag about the airway, not about tiredness
Three days running, or a five-day window
3 / 5 days
the sheet proposes reviewing the whole programme rather than one day
The demonstration guest's day of stress: average 53, lowest 22, highest 89, and the split of time at rest and under load — this is the page where the doctor checks the morning sheet's flag.×
Who it suits and how to start
The programme is chosen by a two-minute questionnaire: goal, length of stay, pace, budget and contraindications. The answers become a draft plan, which the doctor signs at the first-day examination.
A stay shorter than seven days will be planned too, but honestly marked as shortened. A guest may have no watch at all — then the course runs as an ordinary resort protocol: the skeleton, the weekly limits and the light days are all in place, and only the night correction is missing.
Pick a programme in the portalThe platform's demonstration portal: the questionnaire takes two minutes and assembles the same kind of plan.
Questions and answers
How long does Classic Cure & Detox run?21 days by default, 7 at minimum. A shorter stay is planned as well, but marked as a shortened course.
What does the programme include? A mineral drinking cure (three servings of 150 ml a day), apparatus lymphatic drainage, inhalations, the sauna world, foot whirlpool baths, hemp, oat and beer baths, Nordic walking and the pool; as extras — classical massage, hydrogen therapy, reflex zone massage of the feet, wine and pearl baths, the Hydroxeur.
Are the watch and the scales required? No. Without them the course runs as an ordinary resort protocol; the watch and the scales add the six measures and the night correction of the plan.
Is it true that weight goes down in the first week? What moves at the start of a course is mostly water and the gut at work, not fat mass. That is why the platform shows weight, body water and body composition side by side rather than one figure on the scales.
Who cancels the sauna after a bad night? The platform does, in the morning: the included heat procedure comes off and the walk gets shorter. Paid entries stay with the doctor.
