Integrative Medicine
Our unique approach to Health aims to fulfill the current global need to provide a holistic and scientific system of health care for prevention and cure, for both individual and collective health. At our School of Integrative Medicine all the main topics of modern medicine and Maharishi Ayurveda are studied in light of their basis in Total Knowledge—the Veda—the inner intelligence of human physiology; and in light of the student’s experience of developing higher states of consciousness.
Maharishi Ayurveda
Maharishi Ayurveda is the ancient and timeless Vedic approach to medicine, which was brought to light in this scientific age for its authentic value of theory and practice by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, in conjunction with the world’s foremost experts in Ayurvedic Medicine and physicians and scientists in modern medicine. Maharishi Ayurveda is a comprehensive, scientific, prevention-oriented system of natural medicine. It emphasizes the recent scientific discovery that consciousness—the Veda, the totality of Natural Law, or the Unified Field in the language of modern physics—is at the basis of the physiology and medicine.
Treatment Modalities
Maharishi Ayurveda provides multiple treatment modalities and behavioral prescriptions to bring mind, body, and environment into harmony with the intelligence of nature and physiology, for the natural and effective prevention and treatment of disease, and promotion of longevity and ideal health. Maharishi Ayurveda takes into account all the levels that influence health, many of which are not usually considered by modern medicine
High Record of Failure of Modern Medicine
The pharmaceuticals and invasive procedures of modern medicine are increasingly recognized to have adverse side effects, which are a serious hazard to health. These hazards are documented by thousands of articles published in medical journals by leading doctors and medical researchers.
