Ayurveda Health Spa, The Raj, Offers Alternative Luxury

Ever been to Iowa? Start planning to visit. There's a 15-year-old spa and resort there that will blow your mind.

The Raj Health Spa Resort in Fairfield, Iowa is the home of Maharishi University of Management (MUM) and the Maharishi College of Consciousness Based Health Care. And its baby is this resort.

At The Raj, you can book a week filled with 5000-year-old treatments and remedies for everything from a headache to multiple sclerosis.

Hailed as America's premier Ayurveda Health Center, it is the only such facility outside of India, specifically built to offer traditional Ayurveda treatments. This unique, 36,000-square-foot facility decorated in elegant French county-style has 100 acres of rolling meadows and forests for contemplation, relaxation and, of course, healing.

For example, a person with multiple sclerosis symptoms might benefit from the Stress Management and Improved Mental and Emotional Function program. The most important component of this program is the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique.

"TM" is practiced twice a day, and is used for reducing stress and emotional imbalances affecting the symptoms of MS. According to the center, it helps the body recover from some of the factors that cause MS.

Whatever your ailment, from depression, to chronic bronchitis, to hypertension, The Raj will treat it, with five star service.
