ayurveda

When staying at Bogenvillya there is the opportunity to take individually designed Ayurveda treatment under the supervision of Dr. Janakee Perera and her experienced team of therapists.

The 5,000 year-old philosophy of Ayurveda is based on the belief that the five elements, air, ether, fire, water and earth, make life possible and are behind all mental, spiritual and physical processes. These elements are present in the whole cosmos as well as in each individual cell of our bodies. Ayurveda distinguishes three bio-energies made up of the five elements. The bio-energy VATA is made up of air and ether, PITTA consists of fire and a little water and KAPHA is a combination of earth and water. These three bio-energies must be in harmony to ensure our physical and mental well-being.

At Bogenvillya, an experienced team of therapists offer the opportunity for individually planned Ayurveda therapy. You can request the respected physician, Dr. Janakee Perera to make a pulse diagnosis to draw up a therapy schedule with the appropriate diet, prepared by our cooks, Chamil and Wasantha.

Dr. Janakee Perera comes from a family of many generations of Ayurveda doctors and is a grand-daughter of the reputed Ayurvedic Doctor Wickramarachchi, founder of the Ayurveda Research and Training Institute at Gampaha where she did her theoretical and practical training.
