So, I started to see him more often and we treated some other disfunctions 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!"

Thank you Raman dearly for how much you have done already!"

"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."

"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"

"Two years ago after surgery for cancer I was very depleted and suffering from great weakness. I could barely walk and all my body functions were very low and out of balance.

I was very grateful for my surgery and I knew in my heart I had to completely change my lifestyle to rebuild and strengthen my body and soul.

I was greatly blessed in being referred to the path of Ayurveda by a dear friend. Raman Das prescribed an enjoyable healing routine for me of easy to take herbs, dietary guidance, self massage and a half dozen yoga exercises. This is a positive pathway that I can easily follow.

Raman Das Mahatyagi is an Ayurvedic practitioner  of great integrity and skill who always treats me with kindness, respect and understanding. My general health, strength and happiness have improved enormously since following my Ayurvedic path . I am enjoying life as never before and have the joy of witnessing my body and soul become stronger and stronger as time passes.

When I first came to Ayurveda I could only walk a few meters now I often take my new dog for leisurely walks. Ayurveda is a form of grace which can relieve the suffering of ill health and sorrow.

“Before seeing Raman Das, I experienced very long-standing mental and physical problems, including a lack of co-ordination, difficulty in concentrating, and a profound lack of energy. The results of my treatment, which includes a combination of yoga exercises,  mineral and herbal supplements and dietary adjustments, have been little short of miraculous.

I have no hesitation whatsoever in highly commending the treatments offered by Vaidya Raman Das, particular to those who may suffer from chronic conditions.”

"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"

"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."

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.

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.

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.

My daughter, who is now 1 year old, developed eczema all over her body and on her head, which is unusual, from the age of 6 months. I again used the same preparation that I had used for my son and had the same success. Her skin is now clear and healthy and I only give her the medicine when she has a small outbreak of eczema.

Breast milk production

When my first child was born my wife wanted to breast feed him and had been taught by the hospital how to do it and the importance of it. However my wife was unable to produce enough breast milk for him and so had to supplement it with formula milk. She asked me to give her some medicine to help her to produce more milk. At the time I did not know which formula would be effective for her and so was unable to help her. She continued to feed our son with both breast and formula milk.

Since then I had many patients ask me for help with the same matter. I then decided to meditate on the problem and ask for guidance in choosing a formula. The formula I then made and prescribed to my patients proved to be very effective and after my wife gave birth to our second child I was able to give her the medicine as she was experiencing the same problems with milk production. When she asked me how long it would take to work I told her that if you were a person who was born and grew up in India it would take 7 days but because you are Australian it would take 10 days. She then asked me why this is and I said that she had mathematical mind and breast milk production is associated with the heart chakra and therefore if the thinking takes place in the mind it takes time for it to reach the heart.

After my wife had taken the medicine for 7 days she started to feel that her breast milk production was increasing and by the 10^th day it was sufficient. When she started to produce too much milk I just reduced the dose and if the flow became too light I would increase it slightly. In this way the production of breast milk and dosage of the medicine can be chosen to suit the woman’s individual needs.
