About Breuss Juice (Rudolf Breuss)
Breuss juice comes from the Breuss treatment, developed by Austrian naturopath Rudolf Breuss (1899–1990). It is best known as part of a 42-day fasting protocol that Breuss claimed could help the body “starve cancer cells.”
👉 Important:
There is no scientific evidence that the Breuss treatment cures cancer, and prolonged fasting can be dangerous, especially for people who are ill. The information below is shared for historical and informational purposes only, not as medical advice.
The Original Breuss Juice Recipe (Traditional Version)
According to Breuss’s own writings, the juice is made only from raw vegetables, freshly pressed, and diluted with water or herbal tea.
Ingredients (daily blend)
-
300 g beetroot
-
100 g carrots
-
100 g celery root (celeriac)
-
30 g black radish
-
(Optional in some versions: a small amount of potato, removed later by Breuss himself)
Preparation
-
Wash and peel vegetables.
-
Juice them raw using a cold-press or slow juicer.
-
Mix juices together.
-
Dilute with water or herbal tea (usually sage tea).
-
Sip slowly throughout the day — not consumed all at once.
Traditional accompanying teas
Breuss recommended rotating herbal teas, including:
-
Sage (main tea)
-
Kidney/bladder tea
-
Geranium robertianum (Herb Robert)
-
St. John’s wort (occasionally)
Strong Safety Notes ⚠️
-
The full 42-day Breuss fast is medically risky and has led to serious harm when followed without supervision.
-
Not suitable for people with cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, eating disorders, or anyone who is underweight.
-
Should never replace medical treatment.
A Safer Perspective
Many people today adapt the juice alone as a nutrient-rich vegetable drink, without fasting or medical claims. When used this way, it’s simply a vegetable juice—not a cure.
