Maharishi Ayurveda
Holistic health for body, mind and soul
What is Maharishi Ayurveda?
Maharishi Ayurveda is a modern form of Ayurveda, the traditional Indian art of healing. Developed in the 1980s by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi – the founder of Transcendental Meditation (TM) – it combines the ancient principles of Ayurveda with the demands of modern life.
The aim of Maharishi Ayurveda is to harmonize body, mind and consciousness, prevent illness and activate the body’s self-healing powers.
Differences to classical Ayurveda
While classical Ayurveda has been practiced in India for over 3000 years and includes nutrition, doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), medicinal herbs and routines, Maharishi Ayurveda focuses on additional aspects:
- Integration of Transcendental Meditation for stress reduction and inner peace
- Standardized herbal preparations that are internationally available and scientifically tested
- Focus on prevention instead of treatment – maintaining health before illness develops
- Greater emphasis on the connection between body, mind and consciousness
