The Farm at San Benito
I have always been in love and fascinated to stay in luxury resorts and hotels...being in a fancy room, trying the best spas, and having exquisite foods. But, for the first time in a long time, I have realized the importance of "healthy living and lifestyle" until I have experienced the Medical Wellness Journey at The Farm at San Benito in Lipa Batangas, Philippines. For 3 days, I ate healthy vegan cuisines, I found out the condition of my blood thru Live Blood Analysis, and lastly, I was de-stressed.

In the afternoon, I went for a 30-minute Medical Consultation and 30-minute Live Blood Analysis. The Farm at San Benito is a premier, world-class medical spa destination (a recipient of multiple awards including a laud from SENSES Germany as the Best Medical Resort in the World) which under the care of their expert doctors and medical professionals. The procedure of Live Blood Analysis involves a real-time representation of the t's blood components. While it is not a conventional diagnostic method, the ability to see how the various blood cells behave has a powerful effect on guests, further motivating them to actively pursue wellness. In this procedure, I have learned that my blood is in normal or in ideal condition. Right after, I had a Medical Consultation with Dr. Rommel Tinio, M.D. where he discussed the importance of everyday lifestyle, what I should ideally eat, nd how stress can affect someone's health.

Live Blood Analysis
Dr. Rommel H. Tinio M.D.
Everyday life can be so stressful, especially in the hustle-and-bustle of our hectic lives. Toxins accumulate in our bodies as we breathe in the heavy air and consume our daily portions of processed and chemically aided food. Overtime, we become buried under these stresses and lose our connection with ourselves. Our body's natural rhythms are disturbed and its healing processes hampered. And, The Farm at San Benito will let you return to your primer state, make a fresh start, disconnect from outside influences, purify our bodies, and free our consciousness from its burden. Free of Negative influences, begin a healthier lifestyle and discover our own balance of body, mind and soul- the key to wellness!
After my Holistic Consultation, I proceeded to Healing Sanctuary and tried their 90-minute Acqua Lympatic Clearing Treatment that costs Php5,000++ (USD$100) , which has a procedure of 20 minutes of Dry Brushing (helps to shed dead skin cells which can result in smoother and brighter skin), 15 minutes of Infrared Sauna (helps to release number of toxins, including heavy metals like mercury, lead, environmental chemicals which can help you lose weight, relax, relieve unwanted pain, increase blood circulation and purify skin), 20 minutes of Flotation Therapy (also known as Sensory Deprivation Therapy which can cure insomnia and relief of chronic pain, anxiety, depression and even addiction) and 15 minutes Thermal Foot Mato reflexes connected to various organs and body functions and each light rays are invisible waves of energy that penetrate deep into the inner tissues, muscles and bones of the body).

The next day, I had an amazing healthy breakfast at Alive Restaurant. Alive Restaurant is a Vegan Restaurant which they prepare foods by soaking, blending, dehydration, culturing and with the talent of their Chefs they can transform vegetables, nuts, seeds,and fruits into delectable culinary delicacies. They use specially designed dehydrators instead of cooking to give raw foods a variety of textures resembling cooked foods, without destroying the nutritional properties and enzymes of the foods. They serve warm soups rather than cooked hot soups in order to preserve the valuable nutritional building blocks the body needs to continuously rebuild and renew itself.

After my healthy breakfast, I relaxed in my villa. And, in the afternoon, I went for a 120-minute Bitter Sweet Spa Treatment that costs Php6,800++ (USD135) which is a combined treatment of 30-min. Barako Coffee Scrub with 90-min. Therapeutic Massage. This beauty treatment helps revitalize, stimulate and refresh your whole body so, you can have a blissful glow.
