Research on Maharishi's
Vedic Approach to Health

Maharishi's Vedic Approach to Health is the most ancient and scientific system of natural medicine, using a variety of approaches that simultaneously influence mind, physiology, behavior, and environment to maintain perfect health and promote longevity.

The American Heart Association Journal reports: “People with high blood pressure may want to medicate and meditate”

“Results published in today’s issue of the American Heart Association journal Hypertension, showed that the Transcendental Meditation technique significantly lowered blood pressure in older African American men and women who were at high risk for five major risk factor groups.” (August 5, 1996)
