A rare opportunity to refine your daily ritual into a powerful healing practice.
This is not your average Self-Abhyanga course.
Led by the world-renowned Raju family of Vaidyas, this immersive workshop is for those ready to go deeper – beyond surface-level massage, into the intelligent activation of the body’s subtle channels through refined Abhyanga techniques, marma point awareness, and self-pulse.
You’ll learn how to apply oil with precision, access true marma points without dilution, and use your pulse as a feedback loop for self-healing. Whether you’re a practitioner or someone devoted to conscious self-care, this is where your daily ritual becomes medicine.

Vaidya Dr. Raju can accurately and comprehensively conduct patient evaluation and diagnosis just by feeling the pulse. This will mostly give the Vaidya more information that tests, scans, hours of questioning and other diagnosis methods can provide.
You may book two sessions to have more time with the Vaidya.
Of course!
The Quick Pulse Check is a short consultation. It is for the Vaidya to feel your pulse and prescribe you a treatment plan with you asking a short couple of questions.

Even if the problems are deeply rooted, significant relief can be achieved from this 3-5 day program.
The program also helps to balance the hormonal system so emotions become more even and smooth.
This highly unique program is exclusively offered by the Raju family.
Thousands of people travel from all over the world to the Raju clinic in India just for the Banana Purification.
So traveling interstate or taking the time off for this treatment is highly recommended to take advantage of this opportunity.
"Nowadays, so many female issues are there, especially after covid, even female babies are getting hormonal disorders...only, only Banana Treatment [to rectify this]. But only our family is left to give [it]. All that knowledge is destroyed. Somehow nature preserved us, we don’t know [why]."
"MBT opens the srotas [bodily channels] and enlivens the kuṇḍalinī [energy] to receive the power of the BT. Chakras [nerve plexuses and energy centres] will be enlivened, the energy in the chakras are purified. Cleaning the chakras, cell-to-cell memory...hormonal disturbances, all these blockages are not only from this life, but past lives our atma [soul] is carrying." Most ladies are blocked in apāna vāyu [pelvic region and reproductive organs], and the shakti pīṭha (biological seat of divine feminine energy) is blocked. With BT and MBT, within two minutes it starts to clear, but somehow it starts to unblock the chakras. So it is important to give BT for multiple days so they can clear the chakras. MBT makes the clearing process [of Banana Purification] faster.
Marma points are the original source of acupuncture points.
Included in your MBT session a Yagya will be done on your behalf. Yagya is ancient Vedic technology performed by pandits (masters of ceremony) in India which enlivens Vedic healing vibrations simultaneously while your MBT and BT sessions are occuring.
REQUIREMENT: If you are not menstruating at the time of BT, you must book and receive at least one Marma Banana Treatment (MBT) session before your BT program starts, in order to receive BT.
If your desired time for a MBT or Quick Pulse session is unavailable, please email info@vitalveda.com.au and we can try squeeze you in.
As Ayurveda works on the physical, the mind and the body, Medical Astrology further includes the dimension of the cosmic body. Medical Astrology reveals the cosmic influence on one’s health and which areas to optimise and attend to.
This is an opportunity to ask questions about any aspect of your life, beyond medical. Jyotish (Vedic astrology) provides practical guidance on ways to approach career, health, relationships, projects and purpose by utilising the refined aspects of life.
It is precious to have both an Ayurvedic doctor and Vedic Astrologer look at your chart, health and answer your questions.
Upgrade your daily oil massage with ancient mastery and modern depth.
