Henri Chenot developed his method over some 50 years. He combined ideas from Chinese medicine with Western biology and medicine. The result is a fixed programme offered today in its own houses and in selected spas.
A programme begins with diagnostics, for example of body composition, vessels and metabolism. During the week you eat according to the Chenot diet, plant-based and low in calories. Daily treatments such as hydrotherapy, herbal wraps and massages along the energy meridians come on top.
Chenot is consistent. Whoever comes follows a dense plan and eats what is on the programme. In return, many feel the effect clearly after a week.
Good to know
- The programme is strict: no alcohol, no coffee, a fixed diet.
- Plan the full week; shorter stays bring much less.
- Partners without a programme are welcome, but eat differently.
