Anxiety, Mental health

…probably more important to me is the emotional and mental changes that have occurred on a subtle level…

Where do I begin to list the unexpected benefits I have experienced since starting your treatment plan. At first I was just interested in improving my general health but have gained so much more on many levels. Physically my skin has improved and I have more vitality, but probably more important to me is the emotional and mental changes that have occurred on a subtle level. As someone that suffers from bipolar this has really been an extraordinary bonus. I was at a stage where I thought I would need more medication but instead my have behaviours have slowed, relaxed and become more peaceful. It’s not that I’m doing less, just the agitation that created anxiety is absent. I’ve even been able to shift the way I think so that anger and bitterness over past injustices have been forgiven and released. I feel I am ready to move on with my life in a ‘clean’ way with past personal baggage no longer weighing me down. It has happened so gently and gradually I hardly knew it was occurring. I really feel I am glowing inside and out!

So thank you so much for you valuable guidance. I would recommend anyone who is interested in their total well being to experience your healing approach.

Blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids)

…What was amazing was that within just a couple of weeks Armando’s eyes became clear and blue…

I decided to take my son Armando to see Raman Das, as he had been suffering with an ongoing eye problem for about a year. His eyes were always dry and bloodshot, and he looked permanently fatigued as if he was not getting enough sleep.  We first took him to see the doctor and he was later examined by an ophthalmologist. It turned out that he was not suffering from conjunctivitis, and there was no pus. I was told within two minutes that he had blepharitis and that his tear ducts were blocked. I was advised to bathe his eyes and put warm compresses on them, and to use only a certain type of baby shampoo. However, this made no difference at all and that is when I decided to take him to see Raman Das.

Raman Das gave Armando some medicines and although children often put up resistance when you try to get them to take medicines he had no issues in taking these at all. What was amazing was that within just a couple of weeks Armando’s eyes became clear and blue. This was an incredibly short period of time considering that he had suffered the problem for a year and nothing else he did had any effect. It has now been several months since he completed the treatment and to date his symptoms have never come back.

We are really happy with the results of Armando’s treatment and with the tremendous effect it has had on his overall health. Since completing his treatment he has had no further issues and has been really healthy.

Candida

…you treated me for Candida and it did the trick for 2 years…

I came to see you in Kathmandu in January 2000 and you treated me for Candida and it did the trick for 2 years, unfortunately I am now suffering from the same symptoms quite regularly and wondered if you could give me the name of the medicine you prescribed for me. I am planning to come to Kathmandu in January 2004, I know you are not there anymore so this is why I ask if you could recommend something I could buy while I am here. I hope you can help me and I look forward to hearing from you, thank you and best wishes.

Chronic Fatigue

after struggling with glandular fever that turned into chronic fatigue…Raman Das’ medicine has allowed me to feel alive again.

I first came to see Raman Das a year ago after struggling with glandular fever that turned into chronic fatigue.
My energy levels were very low and I struggled to get through the day.

Raman Das prescribed a mixture of his miracle medicines and I felt a difference within three weeks.
I am very grateful for his knowledge and wisdom and introducing me into the world of Ayurveda. Something that I would of never considered a few years ago.

Raman Das’s medicine has allowed me to feel alive again.

- D. A, Kenthurst

My doctors were not really interested in my problems,….They said I could only expect minor improvements over the next few years…

I already knew about Raman Das, having seen him several times between 2004-2006. In 2011 I decided to visit him again for help with a number of issues. He has been successful in treating me for skin rashes, pre-menopausal night sweats and poor sleep but my symptoms that led me to seek his help on this occasion were more serious:

  • Excessive mucus and coughing
  • Lack of stamina – I was tiring very easily, to the point of exhaustion, and was unable to maintain proper energy levels, on a daily basis.
  • I was coming down with major infections every month.
  • Poor digestion – my bowel movements were inconsistent and I had a lot of bloating.

My doctors were not really interested in my problems, which they attributed to the chronic fatigue which I had suffered since 2000. They said I could only expect minor improvements over the next few years and that there was nothing much more that could be done to help my body.

When I returned to see Raman Das in 2011 my tongue, eyes and skin complexion were not healthy, my pulse was very slow and cold, and I had a poor aura. I had an adrenal imbalance and I knew that the drugs which I had been taking throughout, in addition to not helping me were having an adverse effect on my body. Furthermore, my diet was not helping my body to heal effectively.

During the two years that I have been seeing Raman Das about these problems my tongue, eyes and skin complexion have improved considerably, my pulse is stronger and my aura is more robust. I still have a way to go as regards improving my energy levels. I am also still affected by viral conditions, but these are less virulent than in previous years .

Overall, there has been a gradual improvement over the last two years in my energy and strength, both of which reflect in my life, and as the situation is constantly changing my ongoing treatment with Raman Das is reviewed on a quarterly basis. My aura, eyes, tongue and neck are all showing positive improvement but my pulse is still slow and cold. I am currently engaged in reducing my intake of drugs with a view to cutting them out completely in the near future. I am currently working with Raman Das to boost my energy with a rejuvenation powder, which he has supplied to help me through the period of withdrawal from the drugs.

Cystitis

I have to say that even my husband (who is a pharmaceutical sales rep) was impressed by the results…

I went to see Raman Das for chronic urinary tract infections that had been troubling me for nearly 10 years. I was having them about every second month and especially after sexual intercourse. I’d had repeated courses of antibiotics, tried every herbal remedy imaginable, paid close attention to hygiene and nothing helped. I always felt as if I was addressing the symptoms and not the actual source of the problem.  I have to say that even my husband (who is a pharmaceutical sales rep) was impressed by the results of the treatment from Raman Das. The herbs worked beautifully. At one point the infection reoccurred and Raman Das increased the dosage. To be honest, it didn’t clear up straight away, but took a bit of time. I persisted in taking my medication and following the diet that Raman Das gave me. I am SO HAPPY to say that the infection cleared up and I have NEVER had another one! What a relief!

About 3 years later after having 2 babies 16 months apart!  I was feeling very run down. I was crying for no apparent reason, having difficulty getting out of bed, tired through the day, restless at night and unable to wake for morning meditation practice. My emotions were all over the place and at times I felt quite depressed. My iron levels were normal and there didn’t appear to be any medical “reason.”  So I went to see Raman Das again. He said I was experiencing a kind of post natal depression and that my body needed rejuvenating after having had 2 children so close together. I took the herbs he recommended to the best of my ability, but wasn’t able to fit in the yoga practice. I was concerned because the medicine didn’t work as quickly as before. Raman Das encouraged me to continue taking the herbs, and, as I knew his medicine worked so well before, I trusted him and kept going with them.

After 2 months, I felt much better. I am emotionally stable, waking refreshed in the morning and happy to be looking after my two toddlers.

I can’t thank Raman Das enough for the compassionate care he has given me and the wonderful herbs that helped me when nothing else worked. My quality of life is so much better because of him and Ayurvedic medicine.

VB Testimonial Regarding Yatan Colic Treatment

Raman Das you changed our life with the treatment you gave our Jake when he was 1. We could never Thank you enough for your healing during that difficult part of our life with Jake. He is now a health 5yr old looking forward to starting school.

I thought it was unusual to have to put an oil all over my body for a digestive complaint…

I have 3rd degree burns to over 50% of my body from an accident when I was 8 years old, as well as another 20% of skin grafting scars, and was left emotionally traumatized (in 1978 counseling was not around). Some one recommended me to see Raman Das for my digestive system in 2004, I had just done counseling to work through body issues around my scars, and I went along with my 30 year digestive problem. I thought it was unusual to have to put an oil all over my body for a digestive complaint, but with the oils, did as I was told, and with the better cleaner diet, the herbs (which amazingly also alleviated my frequent and overwhelming anxiousness as well as my digestive problem!), softened my skin hugely, and changed the scarring color from pink/reds to a lighter pink, more the color of my usual skin, making the appearance of my skin much less angry looking.

It was also after using them for over a 2 year period I realized the extremely relaxing benefits that I had from my skin being softened everywhere I felt better all over. I have never found anything like them. My whole experience of Herbal Medicine, Massage Oils, some Yoga and Meditation helped balance a 32 year condition, with out pain, and with out hospitals. The gentleness and kindness of Raman Das made my monthly visits a fine support. I recommend to others the book “Prakruti” by Robert Svoboda or a traditional but simple understanding of Ayurveda and its wonderfully thorough principals that work. Take charge and empower yourself by understanding how your body works. I am now a massage therapist, and use Raman’s oils on my clients, and watch other people who too have suffered long term problems, find a solution to their problems via Natural means, and Ayurveda.

Eczema

Eczema in babies

My son was born in 1999 and when he was one year old he developed eczema that spread over his entire body. I had not been in Australia for very long and was previously living in Nepal so I did not have much knowledge about the medical system here. My wife advised me that we should take our son to the doctor to get some treatment for him. The doctor prescribed a cortisone cream to apply to our son’s skin every time after washing. Initially the eczema cleared slightly but soon the cream became ineffective and so I decided to treat him with Ayurvedic formulas both internally and externally. Within 3-4 days the medicine started to take effect and I continued the treatment for the next 2 months by which time his skin was clear. Since then I have only given him medicine occasionally when he needs it.

Fatigue, General wellbeing

I found a genuine, experienced, holistic practitioner

At last, I found a genuine, experienced, holistic practitioner who understands the inter-connectedness of the whole body. I have had excellent results. Thank you.

- Trish O'Neill (Sydney, NSW)

I experienced a massive difference, 360 degrees within the first 2 weeks…

I saw Raman Das for a range of health problems including vertigo, low iron, low ferritin, loss of interest in general and sleep problems.  I experienced a massive difference, 360 degrees within the first 2 weeks.  Over a period of 4-6 weeks my GP was surprised with my iron levels.

I have felt more happy, energetic, confident and experienced change in my eyes (and friends have also felt this).

I have been recommending Raman Das’ Ayurvedic treatments and will always do so!  My daughter is also receiving treatment at the Yatan Centre.

- S.C, Warrawee

my health and life have been greatly enhanced …

I am writing as a client of Raman Das, Ayurvedic Practitioner.  I have been receiving treatment for the last 3-4 years. During this time I continue to be impressed by his diagnostic ability, treatment plans and overall holistic approach to health care.  Raman Das has the knowledge and experience to understand both the Ayurvedic and Allopathic modalities.

I am also impressed by his specialist treatment plans according to age, health status and physical/ mental levels. He not only prescribes herbal treatment, but also prescribes lifestyle, diet and Hatha yoga practices. I feel my health and life have been greatly enhanced with the care and treatment given to me by Raman Das.

- M O'S, Sydney

my health has improved enormously…

Raman Das’s approach to Ayurveda is very clear, works on many levels, and is effective. He is respectful of ancient tradition and modern science, providing  individualised and highly specialised care. As a result, my health has improved enormously. I have reduced the use of long term allopathic medications, and have more vitality, despite a chronic illness.

- V O'S, Sydney

These tonics are a source of delight and help to me…

I have received the medicines from Australia sent by the doctor, who is a wonderful person. These tonics are a source of delight and help to me. There is no other tonic to beat the medicines sent by The Ayurvedic Dr from Australia. I am very grateful to you, dear …… for their powerful support and help in the year 2005, which was a most challenging year, health wise. Delhi’s winter month were severest and the Mercury dipped below 0 degrees, which had broken Delhi’s record of over 100 years.

Before he started taking the herbs he found it difficult to get up and go to school on a normal day…

On the weekend we took our son to try out for the state basketball team. We started early and he played basketball all day, slept on the basketball court with his friends and then we collected him at 1pm on Sunday and brought him home. He was very tired. I expected him to feel wiped out today and not be able to go to school. This is usually how it goes for him after these intense weekends. But, this time it was different. He was up at 6.30 this morning and went for a run! Before he started taking the herbs he found it difficult to get up and go to school on a normal day. Last week he decided he would get up early and start running each day. I thought great. But for him to be able to get up today and still do it is a miracle!

Thank you so much. We look forward to receiving the new batch of herbs.

I feel so much better, physically, mentally and emotionally…

This is my testimonial to the Ayurvedic medicines that I have been taking for more than 4 months now. To me Ayurveda is a great science and a pure knowledge and I feel very lucky that it came on my path. Since Raman Das became my doctor, I honestly feel like a new person. I am still amazed by the effects of the medicine and the support of a great doctor.  In the first place I came to Raman Das practice just for a massage. In a few minutes he could see I had low iron, so he started to explain me that this was the reason of my tiredness.  (From that moment I didn’t had any idea what caused my tiredness.) I was really amazed and inspired that the medicine he gave me worked so well.

So, I started to see him more often and we treated some other dysfunctions in my body as well. Now, I feel so much better, physically, mentally and emotionally, all that makes me very happy. As well I would like to mention that Raman Das is a lovely person, and I would like to say:

“Thanks a lot for everything!”

He has returned me back to my old self, well, fit and strong spirited…

I am feeling really well since my extensive treatment with Raman over the last 6 months and I am going to continue with this wellbeing. I would like to thank Raman so much for changing my health and general wellbeing and for all his guidance and support.  He has returned me back to my old self, well, fit and strong spirited!! Raman thank you for being a very special person, guru and healer.

Raman Das has a wonderful way of explaining why I feel the way I do at certain times…

I was first treated by Raman Das in 2008 and continue to see him when I feel that my mind and body need some assistance to achieve harmony and balance. Raman Das has a wonderful way of explaining why I feel the way I do at certain times, and he is able to mentally and intuitively know, what my body needs in order to be balanced. Raman’s treatment for me includes Ayurvedic medicine, Ayurvedic oils; and certain yoga postures. The yoga postures I continue to do even today as they have become an enjoyable part of my morning routine. I sincerely thank Raman Das for my healthy mind and healthy body.

Hair Loss

With his knowledge and herbal programme my hair loss has decreased dramatically…

For the last three years I have been getting significant hair fall causing my hair to thin rapidly.
This was very distressing and causing me a lot of anxiety.
My Doctor, a Naturopath and endless products did not have answers.
It wasn’t until I saw Raman Das that things started to change. With his knowledge and herbal programme my hair loss has decreased
dramatically. It feels thicker and I have new re-growth.
Needless to say I am so very happy with the results.
I would not hesitate to recommend Raman Das, he treats the root cause of the problem and the body as a whole.
Take the step and let your healing journey begin.

Hemorrhoids

Within three days the hemorrhoids began to heal and within five days the pain was minimal…

About a year ago I began to suffer from haemorrhoids. I went to my doctor and had the usual treatments but they kept returning. They recently came back yet again and after a week of enduring intense pain I knew that I had to do something about it. My brother recommended that I should see Raman Das Mahatyagi, whom he has known for a long time.

I had an appointment with Raman Das and he gave me some ointment to apply, and two powders and a syrup to take orally. He also gave me recommendations with regard to what I should and should not eat. Within three days the hemorrhoids began to heal and within five days the pain was minimal. Now, after four weeks, they are completely gone.

I am continuing with my treatment for the time being and following all of Raman Das’s advice on how to prevent the problem from recurring. I also find that the recommendations on food rotation are helping me in a number of other ways and plan to follow this regime for as long as I can for the sake of my overall well-being.

Menopause

taking the Ayurvedic herbs I feel more balanced…which has supported me move through menopause naturally….

As a practitioner of yoga and Ayurveda, Raman Das Mahatyagi has always treated my whole body system (mind/body and spirit). Being a part of my own healing process and taking responsibility for maintaining my own health and well-being is very important to my needs. I have found working in partnership with Raman Das Mahatyagi for my health needs brings balance to my 3 doshas (pitta/vata and kapha), and  is of great benefit in improved health and well-being to my entire system which has supported me move through menopause naturally. Through taking the Ayurvedic herbs I feel more balanced with clarity in my busy mind that has supported me move through stressful situations more gracefully and will continue to use Raman Das Mahatyagi’s services for my health and well-being.

- Annette, Kogarah

…a treatment which was undertaken to tackle one complaint has enabled me to reach a whole new level of well-being…

When I first came to see Raman Das I had just begun to experience some menopause symptoms. I had never consulted this type of practitioner before and was somewhat reluctant to do so but a very old friend whose opinion I trusted told me of some very positive feedback she had received from a friend of hers who had been suffering with some similar issues.

While the most troublesome symptoms which I was experiencing at the time were the hot flushes, I was also having issues with my iron status; I knew that I was anaemic. Raman Das supplied me with some Ayurvedic medicines and I have to say that within a week or so my symptoms were minimised to the point of being bearable. Full recovery took about 14 months. Gradually, I felt more energy, my digestive system functioned better, my eyes looked clearer and brighter, and my skin dryness was gone. My mind now functions better and I have noticed that other parts of my body have benefited greatly from the treatment. I’m impressed that a treatment which was undertaken to tackle one complaint has enabled me to reach a whole new level of well-being.

Because of the effectiveness of the treatment I have been inspired to practice yoga daily; it’s not like the other exercises ever done before, and I love how it tones my body and improves my flexibility, and how its routines make me feel more in control and empowered.

When I first undertook these treatments I had no idea how long I would need to continue or what would be the eventual cost. When everything seemed more settled I decided to take a break from the menopausal treatments, and found that the mild flushes started to return. This convinced me to carry on with the treatment. I had developed a new way of looking at good health. I wanted to enjoy the kind of health that I had never enjoyed before, even when I believed that there was nothing wrong with me. I was further inspired to stick with Ayurveda when I returned from Vietnam with a serious stomach complaint. It took a couple of months to completely repair the stomach with the use of Ayurvedic powders; I am now on the rejuvenation stage.

While some of the medicines I have had to take have not been very pleasant there are no negative side effects and I am prepared to put up with the taste in view of the results that can be gained. At the age of 55 I have now reached a stage where I feel more empowered than ever before; I really feel that I do have my own health in my hands. Rather than simply being as well as I think I can be I have now realised that my expectations can be allowed to rise to a higher level. I now know that there is no need for the pains and problems that accompany aging to be regarded as inevitable. I enjoy the fact that most people now think that I am 10 years younger than my true age.

Enjoying all these unexpected benefits I am most grateful that my journey into Ayurveda with Raman Das’ help and guidance has led me to appreciate the need for such a truly holistic approach to whole body wellness. I feel that learning and talking about Ayurveda has shown me just how much we can do, with the right guidance, to help ourselves.

I was sceptical as first that the powder from you would work, but now I have no qualms at all that IT DOES WORK. You just have to be patient…

When I visited you the first time on the 24th January, 2004. My main concern was that I was taking medication (Premia 5) for menopause symptoms and was concerned about the long term effects of this medication on my health. Also I have a gum disease, and also have been a long term sufferer of headaches.

I started taking your medication for menopause on Saturday evening the 24th Jan. For the first week I took it every day as well as my Premia. I continued this way for two weeks. On the third week, I took your medication and the Premia every second day. On the four week I took the Premia every third day and your medication every day. I was always worried that the symptoms of menopause would return e.g. hot flushes, night sweats, irritability, headaches and a general feeling of not being myself, out of sorts, unhappy in general. I am pleased to tell you that I have none of these feelings as I haven’t taken the Premia since the end of February and have continued on your hormone powder daily since the beginning of my visit to you.

The headaches have disappeared, I have no hot flushes, no night sweats, my general inner feeling is one of calmness not of irritability, I feel happy again and relaxed, and I owe all of my general wellbeing to you and your magic powders. I must confess I was getting very concerned about myself and how I was feeling. Some days so low and depressed over really nothing – but it seemed so out of my control and I would fly off the handle at nothing. You are a saviour!!!

I will tell you that I was sceptical as first that the powder from you would work, but now I have no qualms at all that IT DOES WORK. You just have to be patient. This is a huge breakthough for me, as you constantly hear in the press about the effect HRT has on a woman. If only they knew of you.

My gum disease was another great concern to me when I first visited you. I had been to the dentist on many occasions and his answer to my problem was that I have my teeth removed, before they fell out due to the state of my gums and have false teeth. I was well prepared to give any alternative a go than that one. I am pleased to tell you that after taking your powder, I feel a strength in my teeth again, the gum is not as red and soft as it was, there is no smelly puss like liquid oozing from them (sounds disgusting doesn’t it) but it was there.

I have had this gum disease for 12 years. Now the only teeth that feel loose are the two front ones, but they are only slightly loose, nothing like they were – extremely loose nearly coming away from the gum. My bad breath has gone. The dentist also told me (after x-rays confirmed) that I had also damage to my bones in my mouth. It will be interesting to see on my next return to the dentist how he views my gum disease now. I absolutely know that there has been a marked improvement in my condition. I still take the powder given me by you and still do the mouth rinse every day.

Thank you Raman Das for what you have done for my health. I hope this information will also help you with other patients of yours in the future.

I highly recommend seeing Raman Das and following his treatment. He picked up things no one else has…

When I went to see Raman Das I thought I was fairly healthy and was interested to see what he would pick up. Raman Das said I was dry inside and this was reflected in my skin looking dry – I thought it was because I was getting older and it was natural. Raman Das asked if I found doing things a big effort and I said “yes”. Again I thought it was because I was getting older and needed to push myself to do things. I took the medicine Raman Das prescribed and practised the yoga postures recommended.

The next time I saw Raman Das he could see an improvement in my skin and health. Over the months of taking the prescribed medicine and practising the yoga postures, I found I had more energy and my skin no longer looked dry. Now I do not need to push myself to do things and am practising the postures for rejuvenation.

I highly recommend seeing Raman Das and following his treatment. He picked up things no one else has.

Morning Sickness

I have never felt better and had more energy…

I have been seeing Raman for any issues I’ve had over the last 9 years. I was suffering from terrible morning sickness when I visited the Yatan centre, within a week it completely stopped after suffering for 5 months prior. Raman Das has successfully treated and healed my acne and hormone imbalance.

I strongly recommend this treatment to others, I have never felt better and had more energy. Raman Das has successfully treated any issues I’ve had over the last 9 years. I highly recommend him and this centre. Whenever I have a issue I make an appointment and I know he will identify the problem and fix it.

…[he] said that within a week the vomiting and nausea would stop and it did!…

This is how Raman Das helped me on my last pregnancy when I was suffering from Nausea and Vomiting. Raman Das gave me some Ayurvedic medicines and said that within a week the vomiting and nausea would stop and it did!

I didn’t experience any more nausea when I took the medicines and by the end of the pregnancy there were a few random times that I vomited but I think it was from other things, definitely not from the morning sickness. My whole pregnancy after that went really smoothly and it didn’t bother me again. Quite simply, once Raman Das gave me the medication it worked instantly and just took away all the nausea and vomiting.

I’m lucky that I found him through my sister in law, who told me the benefits she gets from seeing him and how fast it is to see results. For me, it only took one week and it didn’t return ever again. Up until I gave birth everything was great and I felt so good for the rest of the pregnancy. I’ve even gone back to Raman Das since then, because I am thinking about a third baby so I wanted to see if he could put me on something so that I wouldn’t be sick again.

Pain - Back, Joints, General

Severe pain due to post surgery

I have my own personal experience for taking Ayurvedic preparations to treat post surgery pain. In 2003 I was working in my dispensary and fell off a chair cutting my right index and middle fingers severely, 90% of my tendons were cut and 95% of my nerves, that required 4 hours microsurgery in hospital. After the surgery the doctor told me that I would be in a lot of pain due to the damage done to my tendons and nerves and to relieve this pain I should take 2 paracetamol up to 4 times a day. I took one paracetamol and as this was the first time in my life to take chemical medicine I felt quite ill from it. I then decided not to take anymore paracetamol and was discharged the next day. By the time I reached my home I was in a lot of pain and knew that I needed to take some medicine to relieve it. I meditated for some time to receive an answer as to which preparation would be most suitable. I came up with two formulas and asked my wife to make them up for me. I took the first dose and felt relief within 10-15 mins. I then went to bed and slept through the night for 6 hours. The next day the pain returned and so I took another dose of the medicine. I continued with this medicine taking it 4 times a day for a month, then reduced the dose to 3 times a day for the next month and then twice a day for the third month. After that I continued to take the medicine for a following 3 months but only when I felt pain in my fingers.

During the first month I had to see the doctor every week for a check-up. He was impressed with the rate at which my fingers were healing and said that another man who had been sharing the same room as me in the hospital had had 2.5 hours microsurgery for a very similar injury to his fingers and suffering from repeated infections to the wound. After the third and final month of check-ups the doctor was again impressed with the speed and success of my healing and that my fingers had regained proper function with only slight loss of strength.

PCOS and Hormonal problems

I have never felt better and had more energy…

I have been seeing Raman for any issues I’ve had over the last 9 years. I was suffering from terrible morning sickness when I visited the Yatan centre, within a week it completely stopped after suffering for 5 months prior. Raman Das has successfully treated and healed my acne and hormone imbalance.

I strongly recommend this treatment to others, I have never felt better and had more energy. Raman Das has successfully treated any issues I’ve had over the last 9 years. I highly recommend him and this centre. Whenever I have a issue I make an appointment and I know he will identify the problem and fix it.

I had a number of ‘spots’ for which Raman Das prescribed a medicated oil. Since then I have felt a couple of large pimples happening on my face and with the use of this oil, instead of coming to a painful head and discharging, they have dissolved and disappeared without any pain or scabby sores.

I don’t take any such as anymore. I feel really good, energetic, etc…

This is a testimonial to the Ayurvedic medicines that I have been taking for more than one year now. I am taking Ayurvedic medicines to help my hot flashes, thyroid, diabetes & arthritis. I am doing really well on these medicines. I have taken a blood test & my sugar has come down quite a bit. My thyroid levels are very good. I feel really good, energetic, etc.

…the nodule had reduced to 4.5cm. A great result!…

Approximately 4 years ago I was diagnosed with 1 large nodule in the left portion of my thyroid gland; it was approximately 2cm. 2 years later it had grown to over 4cm, which increased to 6.2cm. My doctor insisted he wanted the left part of my thyroid gland removed, however, I wanted to try alternative methods of treatment.

I had heard great things about Raman Das, and so I sought treatment from him. I decided to give myself 6 months before deciding whether I would need to have surgery. Raman Das gave me mainly herbs as my treatment, together with some yoga exercises. I was very inconsistent with the yoga, but started to feel very well with the treatment; my appearance improved, and I noticed that both mentally and physically I was starting to feel much healthier. My healing time when I cut or bruised myself was dramatically improved, and people mentioned how well I looked. After 6 months of treatment, for which I was very strict at taking the herbs every day, the nodule had reduced to 4.5cm. A great result!

…my sugar level in the mornings has been 6.3 – 6.9. It has really come down…

Hi. I just wanted to let you know that the diabetes medicine you sent me which tastes like bitter green tea is working really well. I am only taking one dose a day instead of the two & my sugar level in the mornings has been 6.3 – 6.9. It has really come down, so that is really good. Thanks a lot.

It was on the insistence of my mother that I visited Raman Das. I was incredibly sceptical…

I was diagnosed with poly-cystic ovarian syndrome 4 years ago. I consulted with many ‘conventional’ doctors to find a way to manage the condition. I hadn’t had a period in 2 years and I was very stressed generally. The final medical doctor I saw (who was a ‘specialist’ in women’s health) put me on hormone replacement therapy, I was only 24 years old. The hormone replacement therapy caused me to have severe mood swings, dark thoughts and gain weight. I had been told my only other option was to go on the pill, which itself could not guarantee a balancing of my hormones or alleviation of the symptoms which were becoming more and more severe.

It was on the insistence of my mother that I visited Raman Das. I was incredibly sceptical. At our first consultation, Raman Das had said to me that if I followed the program he recommended, a combination of twice-daily yoga routines and a number of different herbal remedies, I would have my period within a month. I wanted a timeframe to work to, especially after almost a year and a half of not knowing, which itself was so stressful. I committed to this month. Basically, I wanted a resolution and to be free of the condition.

Thanks to Raman Das’ understanding and program, at the end of my first month I got my period. My symptoms were alleviating, and as time passed I regained my health, my periods were regular, and the cysts on my ovaries disappeared. I continue to take remedies from Raman Das and yoga programs, both of which can change depending on me and my needs. That’s apart of this unique approach.

I am so very grateful to Raman Das for healing my body, and moreover, providing guidance and deep understanding on levels that go far beyond the physical. I recommend him unreservedly to you.

This pregnancy is for me like a miracle, a dream come true…

A while ago you prescribed me a medicine for stopping the spotting before the period. The spotting stopped but the period never came. That is when I cancelled the appointment thinking that the treatment might have been too strong for me. In the mean time, I booked myself for some new blood tests to see what was happening. I had the tests done and the results revealed that in fact, I was pregnant.

As I have been trying unsuccessfully to conceive, for so many years, I am sure that this time it worked due to your treatment (as you also prescribed me a medicine to help me fall pregnant). I am writing to you now, to express my gratitude for your help. This pregnancy is for me like a miracle, a dream come true, especially when I almost lost the dream. I am also amazed at the efficiency of your treatment because, as I explained to you on my first visit, I followed a wide variety of treatments, with not much result.

I was thinking that your knowledge and medicines will help me, in a complementary way, to sustain a healthy pregnancy.

Kind regards and thank you again!

…within 4 months we were thrilled and a little bit surprised to discover I was pregnant..

The Ayurvedic treatments I have received from Raman Das have changed my life completely.

While on holidays in Thailand last year, a fellow traveler who had just spent time in India discussed the benefits of Ayurveda with me. I had had irregular menstrual cycles for many years and we had tried more than 6 years to conceive. Hormone therapies and alternative treatments had failed to be successful in treating my problem.

So on my return to Australia, I began to look into Ayurveda – what is it, and how could it help me? From what I read, I was a bit sceptical of the treatment being able to help me, however I felt like I should give it a go. I found Raman Das by searching the internet, and was impressed to read the recommendations from those with similar symptoms to me that he had treated successfully.  The treatment to bring me back into balance involved dietary modifications, yoga and exercise, and taking various herbs. I felt an improvement in my general health very soon, plus had more energy. My cycles soon became more regular and within 4 months we were thrilled and a little bit surprised to discover I was pregnant.

Raman Das continued to treat me throughout my pregnancy. The yoga practice he recommended was modified for each different stage. I took herbs to aid digestion and help the baby’s development and had a trouble-free pregnancy.

In August I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Following the birth I felt weak as I was recovering from a caesarean section and had recurring troubles with mastitis. Raman Das gave me herbs to take for the mastitis and since then it has never returned. He also gave me herbs to boost my breastmilk supply which have, as a sideline, helped my body to return to ‘normal’ and improved my feeling of general wellbeing.

I believe Ayurveda can have a positive effect on our health and wellbeing and highly recommend Raman Das as a gentle, sympathetic practitioner.

Rejuvenation

…your rejuvenation herbs have rebuilt my entire system…

Thank you for providing an excellent service and very effective Ayurvedic advice.
I have been following your instructions now for over 15 yrs – Your knowledge in all areas – foods for the individual, and your rejuvenation herbs have rebuilt my entire system.
Also your compassion for each person, understanding their lives and how it affects their health.
I have taught yoga for 20 yrs and without your help it would not have been possible.
You fully understand the scientific chemistry of Ayurveda and how to implement to bring us back to nature.   I highly recommend Raman Das for all health reasons especially if yoga is part of your lifestyle – Yoga without Ayurveda is incomplete!

…treatments enabled her to live her last four years totally free of pain…

 

The testimonial which follows is from Carolyn Meyer and is about the final few years of her mother Joyce. Joyce was the first patient to inspire me to introduce a rejuvenation programme. She is now deceased but Carolyn’s purpose in bringing her to see me was to enable her to enjoy the last few years of her life in comfort and free of pain. To quote Robert Greenblatt : “A woman in the autumn of her life, deserves an Indian Summer rather than a Winter of discontent”.

Carolyn: My mother had already been a patient of Raman Das for some time. At the time in question we had both agreed that I should take her for a health check with Raman as she was beginning to exhibit some symptoms of forgetfulness, to the extent that some believed that she was suffering from dementia. Whatever was the case, we both believed that she could be healed holistically and this led us to try the treatment.

At around the same time my mother had to undergo hip surgery. This did not go well as her leg became extremely swollen and discoloured. However, within three or four days of seeing Raman she was already noticing great improvement and her overall well-being was taking a great turn for the better. At another stage she was suffering extreme back pain. I did take her to the doctors but she did not take any of their medicines. Again, Raman was able to provide everything that she needed in terms of attention, care and natural medicine.

I personally never believed that my mother had dementia, but simply that she was going through a period of emotional imbalance. As I was able to stay with her this made her feel much more secure and there is no doubt that Raman’s medicines and treatments enabled her to live her last four years totally free of pain. She never had another episode and considered this to be a miracle, particularly as her mental state benefited as much as her physical condition.

As my mother’s main support I found it easy to deal with Raman Das and to accept gratefully what I came to think of as Ayurveda’s World of Wonders. In view of my mother’s age I am particularly sure that we make the best decision for her at the time. Admittedly, such a regime of treatment is inevitably more expensive than the mainstream approach, and I am aware that not all would be able to afford it. However, it is not because of its cost that I feel that it to be a better option; it is the absolute belief that it does work and that will heal you.

Respiratory

I would like to tell you, that the (Ayurvedic) medicine (for asthma) which you prescribed her 1999 in Kathmandu, had been the most effective of all (western and others) she tried in the last years.

Sinusitis

I’m really pleased (and a little surprised) it had such a quick effect…

I developed sinusitis after an attack of hayfever and head cold. For over a month I had a lot of green phlegm from my sinuses every morning, as well as a slight sore throat, but after seeing you and following your regime it cleared within the week! Every morning I did jalaneti (saline nasal rinse), followed by some drops of nasal oil. I took both the herbal powders you prescribed twice a day, and also had some chyawanprash each day. I also followed the dietary advice you gave me. I’m really pleased (and a little surprised) it had such a quick effect.

Vasculitis

…they found I had Uticarial Vasculitis – with the aid of Raman Das’s herbs, the condition healed in four months…

In July 2010 dozens of little pinholes in swirls appeared all over my lower legs – these eventually spread to different parts of my body, even my face, where I would get swellings that would take a day to go down. I eventually went to the Doctor and then another specialist and had many blood tests taken. Finally, after six weeks they found that I had Uticarial Vasculitis, which is a condition in which the immune system attacks the walls of the veins.

I was sent to an Immunologist and he prescribed a drug, but advised that it would take three years to heal the condition and it could affect the retinas of the eyes. Well, I was not about to take that risk, so I surfed the internet and found the name of Raman Das of the Yatan Holistic Centre in Gordon. With the aid of his herbs, the condition healed in four months! Another side effect of Uterical Vasculitis is that it makes the skin very sensitive to the sun, and after spending too long in the sun on a very hot day the skin of my hands shrivelled up and looked liked crumpled cellophane paper – the skin on the hands that many very old people have. Also, the skin on my lower legs was looking very dry and Raman told me that if I didn’t do something about it I would end up with ulcers in a few years. He gave me medication for these conditions and after a very short time my skin healed and is once again smooth and wrinkle free.

I thoroughly recommend the Ayurvedic treatment that Raman offers. It is quite miraculous and the medications do not have the adverse side effects that most chemical medications have. Through assessing the body type (there are three body types – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), reading the pulse and looking under the lower lid of the eyes and assessing the hand colour and heat he is able to diagnose my body’s imbalances, and has herbs and spices with the properties to heal the body’s malfunctions.

Vertigo

You gave me my life back. Thank you…

I was recommended to Raman Das by my yoga teacher as I suffered from chronic vertigo. No, I wasn’t afraid of heights as most people think, it was a balancing problem. I felt extreme dizziness, lack of concentration, eg. the ground moved like waves rolling along when I walked. Every step I took it felt like I was going to fall over. Because of this, I had a lot of time off work. I couldn’t even look down to iron my clothes, let alone cook. I was fairly incapacitated now when I look back.

Raman Das was my saviour. I took his herbs, oils, and all his advice because everything he told me I knew was important to my health being restored as I had been battling this for quite a few years. I couldn’t believe it, as the days, weeks and months went by I was feeling a lot better in a very short space of time eg. I could walk down the hallway at work without holding onto the wall. There were yoga poses I could begin to try again without getting that dizzy feeling and falling over. I couldn’t believe it. I am truly thankful to Raman Das whom I continue to see and cannot imagine my life without his expertise, herbs etc. Raman Das, I am eternally grateful and remain indebted to you forever. You gave me my life back. Thank you.
