The majority of the guests who come to Barberyn wish to improve
their health and well being and have a great beach vacation. All
our guests quickly learn to listen to their bodies - and they
feel the tension and stress dissolve with the warm oil and the
rhythmic strokes of the therapists. An increasing number of guests
come for shoulder pain, back ache - sciatica, insomnia, Gastritis
ulcers, skin disorders , psoriasis , allergies, arthritis, to
name a few. Ayurveda has very effective remedies for these medical
problems.
Around the world, people search for safer medicines that have no adverse side effects. Ayurveda is not simple a collection of herbal recipes. It is a holistic and scientific system based on a profound philosophy leading to a long and healthy life without illness.
The Barberyn Reef Ayurveda Health Centre has a team of specially
trained staff members, including resident Ayurveda doctors, therapists,
medicine makers and acupuncture specialists.
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:
Health center co-ordinator |
- 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.
- 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
