Maharishi Vedic Medicine Assessment and Health Assistance Plan

Maharishi Vedic Medicine is the world’s most ancient and comprehensive system of natural medicine. It is our planet’s original health science, created by nature – in fact, nature’s own medicine.

It is also scientifically validated, comprehensive and complete in theory and practical application.

As well, it provides a firm intellectual understanding, which our modern minds need, as to why we have the symptoms and what we can do to change them. It empowers us with our own health care and stress reduction.

The Vedic Medicine Assessment includes a comprehensive assessment by a Maharishi Vedic Medicine Specialist. It includes a questionnaire detailing daily routines, dietary and lifestyle preferences, needs of your current body type, medical history, exercise profile and stress indicators. Examinations cover pulse analysis, a unique and sophisticated Vedic Medicine diagnostic technique, blood pressure and cholesterol levels as well as an assessment of current symptoms of imbalance and your present needs.

This assessment coupled with the Mini Health Screen or Comprehensive Medical Examination provides the basis for the design of a comprehensive programme specifically for you.

For serious illness we recommend you adopt our programme alongside your doctor’s. Your progress can be monitored by your doctor, as well as by us.
