Maharishi Vedic Health Care

"The effectiveness of Maharishi Vedic Health Care lies in the ability of the program to enliven the total intelligence of Natural Law within the physiology and thereby integrate the functioning of all aspects of body and mind. As a result, thought, behaviour, tastes and tendencies become more integrated and balanced and spontaneously move in harmony with Natural Law, which is the basis of good health." - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

A Holistic Approach

Despite many technological advances, modern medical diagnosis and treatment continues to be plagued by escalating costs, harmful side-effects and persistence of chronic and degenerative disease affecting up to 40% of the Western World (see www.hazardsofmedicine.org). This is because our current system is disease-oriented. It focuses on identifying and treating the diseased part, while failing to understand why the body as a whole succumbed to disease in the first place.

Unless a gardener nourishes the root, no matter what he does on the level of the leaves and fruits, the plant will wither away. Similarly, if we are to effectively treat and prevent disease and promote health we need to attend to our body's own source of order - which sustains health and vitality. When this becomes our prime focus, then our body regains competency in defending, repairing and maintaining itself without the accelerated deterioration seen in many people today. This is the ideal of holistic health care.

Maharishi Vedic Health Care

A growing body of evidence is indicating that Maharishi Vedic Health Care™ promises to fill this void in health care delivery and offer truly holistic health care. Maharishi Vedic Health Care is the formulation of the ancient Vedic medicine of India, by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (founder of the Transcendental Meditation™ technique) in collaboration with leading expert practitioners and scientists.

Maharishi Vedic Health Care comprises the complete set of Vedic technologies, including Ayurveda, for the prevention and treatment of disease and promotion of health. Ayurveda is now recognised by the World Health Organisation as an ancient, prevention-oriented, comprehensive system of natural medicine.

Our Inner Doctor

The prime goal of Maharishi Vedic Health Care is to enliven the inner intelligence of our body our body's 'inner doctor' - and thereby fulfill the ideal of holistic health care. Our inner doctor produces its own pharmaceuticals in finely balanced combinations and delivers them in a precisely timed and targeted manner - that is free of harmful side-effects. Our inner doctor enables the body to repair, balance and fine-tune itself to higher degrees of wellness and efficiency.

The inner intelligence is the source of order for all the diverse aspects of our make up (the cosmic blueprint). Maharishi Vedic Health Care recognizes that lack of connection between the body and this underlying field of intelligence is the fundamental cause of all disease. To effectively treat and prevent disease and promote health, Maharishi Vedic Health Care serves to enliven the inner intelligence in the diseased part and in our body as a whole. In this way our body's own surveillance, defence and repair systems are kept fully alert and operational.

Perfect Health

The goal of Maharishi Vedic Health Care is perfect health. Perfect health seems like a lofty ideal today but not so when we consider how perfectly nature co-ordinates and regulates the activities of each cell and the body as a whole. By learning how to behave more naturally, so as not to abuse our body's intelligence and impede it from working for us, the inner perfection of life becomes a reality for our whole mind-body. We spontaneously grow to make the right choices as to what to think, eat or do instead of making the mistakes that lead to disease and problems. We live more in accord with Natural Law.

Perfect health means that all bodily functions are balanced and integrated and high level well-being is a regular daily experience. It means strong immunity and resistance to influences that lead to disease and degeneration. The result is vitality and youthfulness that continue well into our latter years.
