Benefits for Chronic Disease
Through Maharishi Ayur-Veda Health Care

Graduate students who participated in the Maharishi Rejuvenation program improved significantly in comparison to controls on composite measures of general intelligence, short-term memory and long-term memory. Participants also reported significantly greater subjective alertness. Posttest scores were adjusted for pretest levels, and the research also controlled for expectation of benefit, differential motivation, and a variety of other factors.

The Maharishi Rejuvenation program eliminates accumulated impurities and helps to establish balance in the physiology, which results in better physical health. Naturally, as physical health improves, mental health improves, and the mind begins to operate more efficiently, which directly improves cognitive performance.

Dr. Reddy's Comments:
This study shows that the Maharishi Rejuvenation program strengthens the physiology to support clear and intelligent thinking. Like the previous study, it demonstrates that a physical approach can produce wide-ranging benefits for the mind. As physiological balance increases, one's thoughts and feelings naturally become more positive, productive and life-supporting.

Maharishi Ayur-Veda health care aims to create total health in mind, body, behavior and environment. The Maharishi Rejuvenation program is only one of many approaches that work holistically to establish balance on all levels at once.
