The Barberyn approach to Ayurveda is a serious and profound one, staying true to the Ayurvedic principle of restoring the equilibrium in body, mind and spirit, thereby creating a sense of total health & well-being. To achieve this balance, we follow a thorough and carefully structured process:
- Initial consultation and diagnosis: Treatment is given only with doctor's consultation and diagnosis! We look at a person in a holistic way - we record not only the obvious symptoms, but take all aspects of a persons' life into consideration, such as their personality, their lifestyle, personal circumstances and state of health and medical concerns or illnesses. These insights are used to rebalance their doshas - or energies (vata, pitta, kapha) - to restore optimal health.Based on the doctor's assessment an individual treatment programme is designed for each guest, depending on the duration of the stay.
- Recommended treatment plan: Once the individually recommended treatment plan is drawn up, we explain it to our guest. To ensure success, we ask our guests to participate actively and take responsibility during the treatment period in order to re-establish the perfect balance of their doshas. Without personal commitment the treatments cannot be completely successful.
