Ayurveda Wellness Retreat
Barberyn Beach, Weligama, Sri Lanka
10 day Ayurveda retreat at the center of Holistic health and total well - being, Barberyn Beach Resort.
Ayurveda is one of the oldest forms of medical science known to man, ayurveda - originating 5000 years ago.
It is a way to a healthy and long life and can compliment modern medicine. Ayurveda is not aimed at simply relieving symptoms, but to bring back the balance of physical-mental and spiritual aspects of an individual.
Barberyn Beach Resort
Barberyn Beach Resort is built against the hillside, facing the Indian Ocean, with panoramic views of the garden and the sea
Contemporary architecture blends beautifully with indigenous design to create a feeling of space and light, letting in nature – so guests can better enjoy the healing that comes from within.
Barberyn Ayurveda Eco Properites’ and Resort has a team experienced in medicinal plants and Herbarium at IAAM. They practice organic cultivation required for the medicine as well as other rare plants. They provide on-going research at IAAM and its Ayurveda treatment facilities.
Medicine used at Barberyn Ayurveda Resorts is made of herbs and natural ingredients. Some of the medicine is produced right at the resort, most of it at Barberyns Institute of Ayuverda and Alternative Medicine (IAAM).
Ayurvedic principles state that the imbalance of the three biological energies (Tri Dosha) creates a disease – due to years of poor diet, weak digestion, improper metabolism and incomplete elimination of waste matter, inadequate sleep, pollution, stress and production and accumulation of bio-toxins (Ama) etc.
During the initial Shodana (purification) process, these toxins are collected from various parts of body and expelled through the nearest outlet. Then, the Shamana (pacifying treatment) or the rejuvenating treatment will have better and long lasting effect on body.

Ayurvedic treatments have 2 basic aspects:
Shodana Chikitsa: A purification process: three stages
Purva Karma: (preparatory procedures) – Oleation and fomentation procedures.
Pradhana Karma: (main purification procedures) – The main Panchakarma procedures consisting of Vamana, Virechena, (Anuvasan and Niruha) Vasti Nasyam and Rakta Mokshana as per the individual requirement.
Paschat Karma: (post-purification procedures) – the post purification regime followed by Shamana (pacifying) or Rasayana (rejuvenating) treatment.
Shamana Chikitsa
This type consists of the pacifying therapies for manifested diseases. Both internal and external therapies consisting of herbs, minerals and other biological products are used individually or in compound formulae. Many illnesses like allergic conditions, skin diseases and neurological conditions – where western medicine has no current standard treatment – can be managed through simple herbal treatment.
