Maharishi Vedic Medicine (also known as Maharishi's Consciousness-Based Health Care or Maharishi Ayurveda) was founded in the mid 1980s by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, creator of the transcendental meditation system.

Practitioners of MVM claim to detect diseases in early stages, for which no symptoms are present, and give simple treatments (consisting mainly of dietary adjustments, routine changes, etc.) to eliminate the problem before it arises. Maharishi Vedic Medicine is a so-called alternative medicine and aims at being a complementary system to exist alongside modern, western medicine. Some treatments are obvious quackery, such as "Vedic Vibration" in which "The expert whispers within himself or herself some specific sounds traditionally chosen for the indicated health concerns and then administers them by blowing on and/or touching the affected area of the body."[http://www.vedicvibration.com/faq.html
