Abstract: Maharishi Ayurveda, being wholistic in nature, also offers technologies of consciousness as a therapeutic regime, in order to set the healing process in motion. Transcendental Meditation plays an important role here. In order to evaluate its efficacy in the area of health, approximately 2000 practitioners of Transcendental Meditation were followed over a period of over 5 years by 2 large american health insurance carriers. The frequency and length of ambulatory and hospital treatments as well as their distribution with respect to individual health care groups was examined. The results were significant. The results show that the health care costs were 50% less in the TM-meditator group than in the control group.These findings motivated a dutch private insurance carrier to offer TM-practitioners a 30% reduction in their premiums. At the same time they were interested to see whether other strategies of Maharishi Ayurveda also had a cost-cutting effect. It was decided that ayurvedic herbal preparation would be tested in chronic diseases. 10 disease groups (asthma, bronchitis, migrain, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.) were examined, made up of 126 patients. The average disease course was 18 years. In 79 % of the patients there was a definite improvement after a 3 month period.
