Naturopathy

Naturopathy is a traditional medicine recognized worldwide as well as Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. These three techniques are based on the same principle: there is an immaterial and intelligent energy that animates all living beings. We talk about PRANA in Ayurvedic medicine, QI in Chinese medicine, and simply VITAL ENERGY in naturopathy.

This Hippocratic medicine employs a variety of non-invasive techniques and these include (but are not limited to)

1. Nutritional and dietary advice. Nutritional hygiene.

A poor diet prevents the body from working well, and the buildup of toxins can lead to a variety of diseases.

The hotel is the vision of Anthony Picq, who, having spent 25 years in the sustainable tourism sector, flitting between Tenerife and Barcelona, opened EcoHotel El Agua in September 2022.

Get him started on any number of wellbeing subjects – from ecology, to spirituality, to anthroposophical, to integrative medicine – and prepare yourself to be schooled. Picq’s other passion, as will become blindingly obvious to anyone who visits EcoHotel El Agua, is design. Picq has previously worked as an interior stylist and garden designer.

Exercise and sport have been my passion since I was little. I trained in many gyms, participated in countless competitions, it being my great dream to turn my hobby into a job. After finishing my high school studies, I moved to Germany, where I studied sports science, psychology and pedagogy at the Technical University of Darmstadt 2003-2009. In 2011 I dared to take the step of turning all my knowledge and experience into having the official "personal trainer" license, I was excited by the idea of being able to work directly with people, combining different sports and training methods. Since then I have been able to help many people (live and online) to train in a gentle and body-conscious way, to live healthier. In 2015 I moved from Germany to Tenerife where I set up my residence to be able to do outdoor sports throughout the year, teach and motivate other people both with exercise and nutrition.
