Dry fasting is a type of fasting that involves abstaining from both food and liquid for a set period of time. Unlike most fasts, which encourage water intake, dry fasting restricts all fluids, including water, broth, and tea. There are two types of dry fasting: soft dry fast and hard dry fast. In a soft dry fast, a person can brush their teeth, take a bath, and wash their face, while in a hard dry fast, they do not come in contact with water at all.

Proponents of dry fasting claim that it has many benefits, including weight loss, detoxification, and delayed aging. However, there is not enough research on the benefits of dry fasting, and many doctors consider it a dangerous practice. Dry fasting can lead to dehydration, nausea, headache, tiredness, irritability, and other health problems. It is not recommended for people with pre-existing medical conditions or eating disorders. If you are considering dry fasting, it is important to talk to your doctor first.
