Raj, Maharishi Ayurveda Health Spa - Packages & Deals

This 100-acre (40-hectare) retreat, set in a tranquil French-country-style estate, is surrounded by meadows and woodlands. It is constructed according to the health-promoting and life-supporting principles of ancient Vedic Architecture, in which it is believed that exposure to the rays of the rising sun contribute to one's health and wholeness. The Raj, Maharishi Ayurveda Health Spa has 20 guest rooms, a three-to-one staff-to-guest ratio, and one organic vegetarian restaurant.

More than just a spa, this health center offers programs based on Maharishi Ayurveda®, which aims to purify and balance mind and body, recognizing their intimate connection, through multiple-approaches: ancient Ayurvedic detoxification and rejuvenation treatments and the optional Transcendental Meditation Technique® for stress-management and the development of consciousness. Treatments are individualized based on information obtained through an initial Pulse Assessment during a private wellness consultation. The pulse assessment is one of the main evaluation tools used in Maharishi Ayurveda®. With three fingers placed on the pulse, the Ayurvedic Health expert can gain information about the balance and functioning of the entire physiology. This helps detect imbalances at their earliest stages, before they manifest as symptoms of disease.

Programs usually last one week but can be shorter (starting at a minimum of three days) or last up to 31 days. Education is a key component that augments the positive transforming effects of treatments and includes classes in yoga and Ayurvedic cooking, as well as optional instruction in the Transcendental Meditation® technique. In addition, there are videotaped and daily live evening lectures and personal health-coaching sessions. Guests leave with an individualized take-home health program that is based on their final Pulse Assessment and is reviewed with a health coach prior to departure.

The Maharishi Ayurveda® programs are the result of a revival of the ancient science of Ayurveda applauded by the government of India's Council of Vaidyas for its authenticity and backed by 50 years of research by the foremost Vedic scientist of our time, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, leading thousands of Ayurvedic experts. Modern scientific research studies have been applied to verify the effectiveness of this ancient science of natural health care, including one study by Dr. Robert Herron, funded by the National Institute of Health.
