Maharishi Ayurveda Center Lake Orta
Authentic Panchakarma retreats and Ayurvedic treatments in Italy
YOGA AND AYURVEDA: the “science of life,” originates from the Ancient Vedic Civilization.
THE ORIGINS OF THE METHOD AND THE ROOTS OF BALANCE
Yoga and Ayurveda stem from the same source, the Ancient Vedic Civilization. Practiced in India for thousands of years, they represent the oldest and most comprehensive natural system for promoting well-being and the balance of body and mind. Thanks to collaboration with the leading experts of the tradition, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi restored Ayurveda to its original splendor in the early 1980s. This is how this approach, in its purest and most complete form, is known and practiced today as “Maharishi Ayurveda”.
The integrated holistic approach
This holistic system includes various functional approaches to optimize psychophysical conditions, including:
- Personalized and mindful nutrition.
- A daily routine (Dinacharya) to respect biorhythms.
- The use of specific herbal preparations (Dravyaguna).
- Purification treatments (Panchakarma) preparatory to the activity.
- Music therapy (Gandharva Veda) and aromatherapy.
- Breathing exercises (Pranayama) and physical exercises (Yoga Asanas).
- Stress management techniques such as Transcendental Meditation, essential for developing full mental potential and concentration.
To ensure the authenticity and effectiveness of the method used in our Association, we follow strict traditional procedures.
The guarantee of tradition
Every aspect of the method and the preparations used follows the instructions of a Council of Vaidyas (expert sages of Vedic knowledge), established under the guidance of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and composed of three of the world’s leading authorities:
Dr. B.D. Triguna
Former advisor to the Indian government and president of the All India Ayurvedic Congress, the world’s leading expert in the field of pulse diagnosis (Nadi Vigyan).
Dr. Balaraj Maharshi
Leading authority in Dravyaguna, the science of identifying and using medicinal plants.
Dr. V.M. Dwivedi
World leader in the science of Rasayanas, the special formulas for longevity and prevention.
