00:00Hi, I'm Chef Marie. I'm the kitchen head here at the farm at San Benito.
00:20So the wellness cuisine concept of the farm from vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian are the
00:25important components of our healing food concept. So we advocate farm-to-table, organically grown,
00:32seasonal produce, and this is part of our philosophy.
00:36It's good in nourishing the body and also optimizing nutrients.
00:42Here at the farm, we have the herbs garden. We have the 10 kinds of herbs that are planted here.
00:47We have also the pest restaurant, so let's check on that.
00:55So here at the pest, we have the pescetarian restaurant. It's influenced by Mediterranean
01:02Blue Zone diet. We serve whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables, and fish for the balanced meal.
01:08Tara, let's go to Prana to check the second restaurant here at the farm at San Benito.
01:24Welcome to Prana. Kung sa pes, we serve pescetarian.
01:28So here in Prana, we serve Indian vegetarian ayurvedic food.
01:32So welcome to the Alive. Alive is connected to the Prana. So Alive is one of the main restaurants
01:43here in the farm at San Benito. So Alive is one of the first vegan restaurants in the Philippines
01:49that serve a whole food plant-based cuisine.
01:55So we are here in our 6,000 square meter plantation. Again, it's organic, it's locally
02:01grown. It is important for us to incorporate the Filipino herbs, medicinal herbs. At the
02:07same time, we are complete in the house of vegetables.
02:15You've seen the three restaurants here at the farm at San Benito, which is the farm-to-table
02:20concept. We serve the healing food that nourishes your body. I hope you enjoy it.
02:32One of the activities that you can do here at the farm is massage therapy combined with
02:36energy healing. We are at the Healing Sanctuary Spa here at the farm at San Benito, and we
02:42practice the Filipino traditional healing art of tilot with the farm-to-skin concept.
02:47So here with us is our spa director and energy healer, Mr. Lem Senilio. Hi, Lem.
02:54The concept of the farm spa, focusing more on living vegan cuisine, and at the same time
03:01garden-to-skin. This is the best concept in terms of detoxification, in terms of cleansing,
03:07in terms of rejuvenating and restoring your health and vitality. Here at the Healing Sanctuary,
03:14we're totally focusing more on cleansing through the body, through the heart, through
03:20the lungs. We're totally focusing more on cleansing through the process of clearing
03:25the lymphatic system, and at the same time opening the pores of the skin to nourish the whole body.
03:33So we're here in our garden, or our herbal medicines. This is what we use. So we have
03:41oregano, we have lemongrass, aloe vera, moringa, and at the same time we have tarragon. So everything
03:50we gather is for our treatments. All foreigners coming from other countries
03:56want to experience the Filipino culture of service, what we call traditional
04:03Filipino treatment. So this is what we use. We also have 3,000 coconut trees where we harvest
04:11our virgin coconut oil, and this is what we use in the kitchen. We also use virgin coconut oil in
04:17our spa, as well as the medical treatments, and of course we also use this as part of our
04:23bath amenities. So nothing is wasted here because the farm is again an eco-sustainable and socially
04:30responsible business and a true green destination. There is a saying that the best way to heal
04:37Mother Earth is to incorporate a vegan diet because you reduce carbon footprint.
04:44So we're here at Aqua Sanctuary. This is where we do our water treatment or
04:51cleaning of the body through different approaches of water treatment. So this is what we use.
04:59We have an onsen. An onsen is actually a very good treatment to recover our health.
05:08We have also kineptherapy. This is actually practiced in Germany. Hot and cold, hot and cold.
05:13So you can walk around. While walking in kineptherapy, you will feel that it has
05:19what is called foot reflexology or it has a massage that happens to our feet.
05:26We also have a jacuzzi. It has a water pressure that is triggering more here in our lower back.
05:34It is also present in our feet. It is also present in our lower extremities or here in our legs.
05:40So this is not just the water that you will use again and again. This is replaced after you use it.
05:48So this is what we call rainbow shower therapy or what we call blind shower therapy.
05:55It will stimulate from the top of your head and to your arms. You need to walk with your arms closed.
06:01We feel that the pressure is very strong. That is why it is one of the best water treatments here.
06:14So this is the acupressure or water massage therapy. This is the hydraulic.
06:21It is given a way to remove the blockages in our body.
06:27In ring water therapy, all you have to do is just have to move around to stimulate our lymph nodes.
06:36This is the acupressure water therapy. So it is very strong.
06:41Wherever you have tension, your shoulder hurts, your lower back hurts, or your lower extremities hurt.
06:48The last part, it will give you ultimate relaxation in our head.
06:54It is like a head massage that is very gentle and you will feel sleepy after this water treatment.
07:04So I will show you the modern way of going back to the womb of your mom.
07:13So this is, even if you are close to puberty, it is also the therapy that would help you to overcome your fear.
07:25This is concentrated crystallized magnesium salt. So this is 460 kilograms of magnesium salt.
07:34So basically, you will just drown here.
07:36This is one of the best components to detox our body. It has antibacterial or antimicrobial properties.
07:46Let's close it.
07:49And I will just add one more thing. This is one of the best benefits.
07:54So if you are here, even if you are stressed, if you have anxiety attacks or depression,
08:01this will actually restore or create healing holistically.
08:12So the farm has a team of integrative medical doctors and licensed health professionals
08:17available 24-7. We offer a science-based and evidence-guided approach to holistic healing.
08:24So we are here right now at the Holistic Medical Sanctuary.
08:27We're about to meet our medical chief, Dr. Marian Alonzo. Come join me.
08:34Good morning, doctora. Can you explain to our audience what is holistic healing?
08:43Welcome to the Holistic Sanctuary here at the farm at San Benito. I am Marian Alonzo, the medical chief.
08:49So holistic healing, it's basically coming from the idea of combining the understanding
08:59of the physical body, and this is what conventional medicine doctors are very good at,
09:04as well as understanding the factors that are necessary to bring in optimal health.
09:12So this is the colon cleansing room. Before any disease becomes a serious condition,
09:20so we need to clean the body in order for nourishment or nutrients to be properly absorbed.
09:28So this is the colon cleansing machine, one of the three
09:32colon cleansing treatments that we do here at the farm. And let me show you the vital dome.
09:38This is a technology from France. We use this for chronic pain management, for people with
09:44Parkinson's, for those who need detoxification, especially those who have cold hands and feet
09:50when circulation is a question. Part of holistic healing is looking at the human being as a
10:00spiritual being with physical body, body of vitality, also known as etheric or life force
10:10body. And in healing traditions, other healing traditions, this is called the chi or the prana.
10:15And then you have the mental emotional body as well. So if you see there are different
10:20lines with different colors, which would represent different internal organ function energies.
10:26And this special chair is very important because part of having optimal health is having
10:34good spine alignment. So this looks like a busy room because this is our diagnostic room.
10:41This is HD thermography, high definition thermal heat. So this is what we use to look at masses.
10:50So this is a technology known as the brain biofeedback. It basically eavesdrops the
10:57communication system between the brain and the rest of the body. And this particular small thing
11:05here is you're familiar maybe with voice technology. So this analyzes the voice.
11:14And based on that, we would also get some information that will point us to the right
11:19diagnosis. To complete your life transformative healing holiday, we've added the medical
11:26aesthetics and dental clinic that offers non-invasive beautification and oral hygiene.
11:33So you can leave the farm a better version of yourself.
11:37So one of the iconic spots here at the farm is the 300-year-old mystical and magical mango tree.
11:43In fact, we believe that this has a very powerful energy vortex. A lot of the peacocks, in fact,
11:51we have 40 peacocks. They gravitate towards this tree. This is where they live. This is where
11:55they rest up there. And all of our guests who have meditated and offered positive
12:04intentions, all their wishes come true. So if you happen to come here at the farm, don't forget
12:12to hold the mango tree like this and set your positive intentions.
12:24So you've seen and we've taken you around the farm at San Benito. We went to the holistic medical,
12:29we went to the healing spa, the aqua hydrotherapy, we showed you our organic farm and our wellness
12:35cuisine, our healing environment, and of course the Filipino heartfelt service that has direct
12:41healing intervention to our guests because we want to restore the balance and harmony of a clear mind,
12:48healthy body, emotional wellness, and spiritual renewal. So we invite you to come and visit our
12:55safe haven and healing sanctuary to experience a true immersive wellness holiday.
