Additional Findings on the Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health

The Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health program applies the complete knowledge of Natural Law contained in all areas of the Vedic Literature to promote health by establishing balance in mind, body, behavior, and environment. This approach also applies the recent discovery of a precise correspondence between the structures of Natural Law expressed in the Vedic Literature and the structures and functions of human physiology to enliven integration and balance in the body (T. Nader, M.D., Ph.D., Human Physiology: Expression of Veda and the Vedic Literature (second edition). Vlodrop, The Netherlands: Maharishi Vedic University Press, 1995).

Herbal Compounds for Disease Prevention: The Vedic Literature describes herbal food compounds (rasayanas) for increasing resistance to disease and promoting longevity. Recent findings on the Maharishi Ayur-Veda rasayana known as Maharishi Amrit Kalash™ are listed in the references below.
