Maharishi Ayurveda


Ayurveda is the world’s oldest and most comprehensive system of natural medicine and is the traditional system of medicine of India.

Maharishi Ayurveda is the modern revival of the complete and authentic practice of Ayurveda by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the Founder of the TM technique. Maharishi Ayurveda returns Ayurveda to its original consciousness-based approach and includes the practice of the TM technique as its foundational recommendation. The key Maharishi Ayurveda goal of all recommendations is to balance and enliven the inner intelligence of the body responsible for its natural healing ability. Meghan Pflepsen Zender has a Bachelor's degree in Maharishi Ayurveda & Integrative Health from Maharishi International University. Ayurveda is a complementary health science to your primary health care. This consultation and practice do not take the place of your primary physician. If this is an emergency, please call 911.
