Ayurveda can be used as a separate system, but it is easily integrated as a great support to conventional Western medicine. By integrating the best of these two medical systems, we can significantly improve the health of our patients in the best way possible and reach more patients in need of medical help, who otherwise wouldn’t have been able to afford it.” Guest contributions are expected from other experienced Maharishi AyurVeda Vaidyas and western medical doctors from India, America and Europe.Dr. Gordana Marković, PhD, the Principal Professor Leading the Program
