Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev continues to promote health and wellness through Ayurvedic and natural practices. Over the years, he has played a significant role in spreading yoga globally. The Patanjali Wellness Centre in Haridwar stands as a hub for holistic healing, treating patients from across India and abroad using a combination of Ayurveda and yoga.
As outlined in the Patanjali Ayurved Wellness treatment manual, several core principles guide the lifestyle and therapeutic practices at the center. These principles, advocated by Baba Ramdev himself, are designed not just for patients at the center but also for anyone seeking a healthier lifestyle. Below are the key rules followed at the Patanjali Wellness Centre:
Seven Essential Elements For Healing
Effective treatment at Patanjali is based on seven essential elements—yoga, yagna (fire rituals), Ayurveda, naturopathy, medicinal water, medicinal food, and specific treatments tailored to individual illnesses. These are not only to be understood and accepted but also integrated into daily life.
Daily Yoga Practice
Yoga is mandatory for all residents at the center. Each individual is expected to follow a set routine from 5:30 AM to 7:00 AM. While participation is voluntary, non-compliance means one may have to leave the center.
Proper Duration For Yoga And Meditation
As per the center’s guidelines, each yoga pose and kriya should be practiced for at least two minutes. Additionally, a minimum of 10 minutes should be devoted to meditation. Pranayama is considered essential for all.

Renouncing Luxury
Patients are expected to live a simple and disciplined lifestyle while at the center. Luxurious habits or a negative attitude can hinder the healing process. Adherence to prescribed therapeutic activities is mandatory.
Freedom From Medicines
The wellness approach prioritizes treatment without conventional medicines. Conditions like blood sugar imbalance, blood pressure issues, thyroid, and pain are managed using Ayurvedic medicines, aiming for a 100% natural recovery. As health improves, medicine dosages are gradually reduced and eventually stopped.

Do’s and Don’ts Of Treatment
Patients are required to follow the rules laid down by the Ayurvedic doctors and yoga instructors. This includes personal hygiene, doing one’s own tasks, maintaining a respectful attitude toward fellow patients, avoiding old addictions, and adhering to proper decorum.
Continued Discipline At Home
After discharge, patients are advised to continue following the center’s principles at home. This includes waking up early, sleeping on time, and regularly practicing home remedies such as Jal Neti and Pranayama.
