The Barberyn Approach to Ayurveda

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:

Consultation at Barberyn Reef

1. 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. 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 plan is designed for each guest.
2. 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.

Aspects of the treatment plan:

A. The physical treatment: Utilising the full range of Ayurvedic therapies and the medicine prepared at the resort. Your daily treatment which could be prescribed by the doctor can include a combination of any of the following:

Purification through oil therapies and heat treatment including

• Synchronised medicinal body application
  
• Head & face massages.
  
• Shirodhara (3 days)
  
• Herbal & steam baths
  
• Herbal inhalations
• External application of individualy grounded herbal pastes
  
• Acupuncture
  
• Individual dietary plan & observation
  
• Freshly prepared herbal decoctions
• Herbal elixirs (Herbal juice extracts)

B. The psychological treatment: Utilising the liberating experiences of Yoga and meditation to set-free your mind.

C. Spiritual awareness: The owners and staff of Barberyn follow a Buddhist way of life and engage in the search for inner contentment. Guests can join in the daily activities that take place at the resort.

This carefully designed monitored process should ensure you regain the prefect balance of your doshas and feel rejuvenated. We recommend a stay of two weeks or more in order that you get the full benefit of the Ayurveda Treatment.
