Ideally Maharishi Ayurveda begins with a Personal Health Evaluation from a qualified practitioner. This takes about 60 minutes, and enables the practitioner to assess your health requirements. The practitioner will give personal advice on a range of methods for improving your health and on natural measures to rectify any underlying imbalances that are identified.

These may include:

• Diet - it is very important to eat food that is right for you, producing balance and comfort
• Daily routine - minor changes can sometimes greatly improve your well- being
• Life-style - learn what can strengthen your health and what to avoid
• Food supplements - supplement the body's intelligence with the intelligence of nature encapsulated in sophisticated traditional herbal/mineral formulae.
• Natural Therapies - including the luxurious Panchakarma revitalization therapy.

Consultations are available either with a Maharishi Ayurveda Physician or a Maharishi Ayurveda Health Consultant.

Maharishi Ayurveda Physicians are medical doctors who have extensive additional training in Maharishi's Vedic Approach to Health and incorporate these principles and therapies into their practices. The training of Maharishi Ayurveda Physicians is supervised by the Maharishi Ayurveda Council of Vaidyas. (Vaidyas are the professionally trained and state certified Ayurvedic practitioners of India. The Maharishi Ayurveda Council of Vaidyas is selected from leading vaidyas who have adopted the revival of the complete, integrated Ayurveda inspired by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.)
