Inventor Profile

VedElixir – The story of Neo Ayurveda©

Necessity is the mother of invention – Tragedy and the road to recovery for the inventor himself, his father, and his son.

VedElixir is the result of over 40 years of research done by Dr. S.M. Raju IAS (Retd.). Dr. Raju initially developed these health supplements to help relieve himself of Rheumatoid Arthritis; he suffered from that painful condition for many years until he was able to formulate a series of concoctions that helped alleviate his pain and suffering.

He went further into his research when his father suffered from Acute Renal Failure. He developed a series of concoctions and diets which helped in the rejuvenation of his father’s kidneys.

Tragedy struck again when his son suffered from Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (Blood Cancer). Although his son did benefit greatly from his herbal concoctions, this road to recovery is credited for being one of the first approaches of integrated medicine; i.e. Allopathic medication along with an Ayurvedic set of concoctions – taken together.

VedElixir formulations are revolutionary; we have named the science behind this as – Neo Ayurveda©. Neo Ayurveda is essentially a blend of the best of what the ancient science of Ayurveda has to offer and the best medicinal practices and protocols of the modern science of allopathy.
