Your body already knows how to purify itself. This treatment reminds it how.
Every month, a woman’s physiology runs its own deep cleanse. The menstrual cycle clears accumulated imbalance, resets hormonal rhythms, and restores what stress, poor diet, and modern life quietly disrupt. It is one of the most powerful purification processes Nature built into the human body.
But for many women, that process has stalled. Painful periods. Irregular cycles. Endometriosis. Fibroids. Hormonal acne that won’t resolve. Fertility struggles that no specialist can fully explain. The intelligence is still there. It just needs something to wake it up.
Banana Treatment (BT) does exactly that. While its roots lie in the female cycle, BT is equally powerful for men — purifying at the deepest hormonal and cellular level regardless of gender. Developed and preserved within the Raju family for generations, BT is a vibrational treatment that enlivens the body’s deepest cellular memory of health. It takes each Raju 22 years of daily practice and chanting before they can offer this treatment. No other family in the world carries this knowledge.
“BT carries the message of Smriti — cellular memory — enlivening the body’s deepest values of rejuvenation, immunity, and longevity. The treatment promotes the full functioning of the reproductive organs and, ultimately, every cell.”

How Banana Treatment Works
Despite its name, you don’t eat bananas. A tiny piece of banana — no larger than a thumbnail — serves as a vehicle for the herbal medicine that the Vaidya has prepared. You swallow it whole, without chewing. The medicine penetrates the subtle level, reaching where physical treatments cannot.
By activating endocrine activity, BT recalibrates hormonal balance across the entire physiology. It flushes the reproductive system, dissolves stubborn imbalances that have resisted other treatments, and enlivens the body’s innate capacity to heal and regenerate.
A single Banana Treatment, done during menstruation, carries the purifying power of one to two full 28-day Panchakarma programs.
Who Banana Treatment Is For
BT is for all genders and all stages of life (except pregnant women).
Beyond its deep work on the reproductive and hormonal systems, Banana Treatment recalibrates the body’s circadian rhythms — resetting your internal clock, counteracting the effects of screen time, and restoring natural sleep patterns. These comprehensive benefits apply to everyone who receives it.
Menstruating women
BT amplifies the body’s natural monthly cleanse. It is particularly powerful for:
- Painful or irregular periods
- Endometriosis
- Fibroids and cysts
- Abnormal cervical cells
- Hormonal acne and skin disorders
- Thyroid imbalances
- Fertility challenges and conception optimization
- Absence of menstruation (amenorrhea)
- Heavy periods (menorrhagia)
- Deep emotional imbalances and trauma patterns
Post-menopausal women
BT recalibrates hormonal balance, melts away uncomfortable symptoms like night sweats, and continues to purify at a deep level.
Women not current menstruating
The effects go beyond the reproductive system. People consistently describe a more relaxed body, quieter thoughts, greater internal stability, and a clarity that settles in over the days following treatment.
Men
BT promotes significant purification, hormonal health, and energy. It addresses premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, low libido, and deeply rooted digestive disorders.
For thirteen generations, the Raju family’s Banana Treatment has helped so many people conceive that there is now a term for it: “Banana Babies” — those who struggled with infertility for years, only to conceive after receiving Banana Treatment.
What Is MBT (Marma Banana Treatment)?
If you will not be menstruating at the time of your Banana Treatment, you must receive at least one MBT session before your program starts. This applies to men, post-menopausal women, and anyone whose cycle does not align with the treatment dates.
MBT is an enhanced form of BT that uses suksma (subtle) marma therapy to enliven the body’s vital energy points — storehouses of concentrated prana — so the physiology can receive the purification more deeply. You can begin your Banana Treatment on the same evening as your MBT session.
If you are menstruating when you receive BT, MBT is not required (though it is still beneficial).
The Diet: What to Expect
We believe in being upfront about this, because BT requires a specific and restrictive diet that you should be prepared for before you book.
On every day you receive Banana Treatment, your only food is milk rice.
White rice cooked with full-cream, unhomogenised cow’s milk. No spices. No ghee. No other foods. If you don’t take dairy, plain rice is the alternative.
This isn’t arbitrary. The diet keeps digestion light so your body can direct all its energy toward purification rather than processing heavy meals. The simpler you eat, the deeper the treatment reaches.
For post-menopausal women and men, the diet is more lenient. You can eat normal, light food throughout BT, with milk rice recommended after each dose. The Vaidya will guide you on the best approach.
On the day of your treatment
- No herbs, supplements, or medications on BT days (prescribed medications excepted — always continue those)
- The banana medicine must be taken on a completely empty stomach
- No food or water for one hour before and after receiving the dose
- Hot water sipped throughout the day supports the purification
If you have dietary concerns or restrictions, contact us before booking and we’ll work with you.
Duration
Menstruating women receive Banana Treatment each day of their period, from the first day of flow until it ends naturally.
Those not on their cycle generally do 3, 5, or 7 consecutive days. Three days is a complete cycle. Five days goes deeper. The more days, the more powerful the results.
Even 1–2 days carries real benefit if your schedule doesn’t allow a longer program.
Allow approximately 60 minutes for each daily session.
A Time to Go Inward
Banana Treatment is not just a physical treatment. It is a time to rest, go inward, and let the purification settle. You will likely feel tired during BT — that is the body redirecting its energy toward deep cleansing.
You don’t need to take time off work or clear your entire schedule. But the more space you create for silence and rest, the deeper the results. If you can, treat it as a quiet retreat within your regular life.
Allow approximately 60 minutes for each daily session.
What Others Have Experienced
“After taking just two Banana Treatments, my very long and painful cycles became shorter and less painful. My cycles now only last 5 days and I can get by without using pain medicine at all. The Banana Treatment has also settled my anxiety and insomnia.”
BT Patient
Germany
“Ten years ago I used to be hospitalized for my period pain. It was so debilitating I would pass out. After two rounds of BT I now have no more pain. It is a miracle.”
Beverly
USA
“By the end of my period I was on cloud nine. I have never experienced anything as powerful as BT.”
Julia
“Since my banana treatment, I feel tapped into my energy and creative potential in a way I never have before. My period arrived with zero cramps, no weight gain, no water retention, no irritability. It’s a miracle. Thank you to the Raju family from the bottom of my heart.”
BT Patient
Australia
“I gave birth to my daughter naturally at the age of 46, having conceived naturally. I know this was in huge part due to receiving Banana Treatment from the Raju family. After 2–3 rounds of BT, my hormones came back to a more balanced state. It is one of the most nourishing and balancing things I have ever done.”
BT Patient
England
“I have had debilitating periods all my life. After receiving banana treatment from Dr. Pavani Raju, I would say my periods are 95–99% better. Not only that, but it has given me greater confidence and sense of self.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Banana Treatment only for menstruating women?
No. BT benefits post-menopausal women, men, and anyone whose menstruation is absent. It is powerful for general hormonal health, energy, and deep purification regardless of gender or life stage. If you will not be menstruating during BT, you must receive at least one MBT (Marma Banana Treatment) session before your first dose.
Do I actually eat bananas?
No. A tiny piece of banana carries the herbal medicine and vibrational mantras prepared by the Vaidya. You swallow it whole, without chewing. The banana itself is simply the delivery method.
What’s the difference between 3, 5, and 7 days?
More days means deeper purification. Five days is more powerful than three, but three is a complete cycle and delivers real results. If your schedule only allows a shorter program, even 1–2 days carries benefit.
Can I do BT while breastfeeding?
Yes. BT supports lactation and is deeply nourishing postpartum, helping the body recalibrate hormonally after birth.
Can children receive BT?
From approximately age 10. Please consult with us or the Vaidya beforehand.
What if my cycle doesn’t align with the dates?
If your cycle arrives while Dr. Harsha is in a different Australian city, we strongly encourage you to travel there. The power of receiving BT during menstruation is extraordinary. MBT is available for those whose cycle does not align.
Is the milk rice diet really necessary?
Yes. The restricted diet is a core part of the treatment’s effectiveness. It allows your body to focus entirely on purification. Post-menopausal women and men have more flexibility with the diet, but menstruating women should follow it closely for the full benefit.
What happens after BT?
After concluding your Banana Treatment, it is good to eat lightly the following day. Once 24 hours have passed, you can gradually return to your normal diet. We’ll send you detailed post-BT guidelines when you book.
Give your body the reset it has been waiting for.
Thousands travel to the Raju clinic in India for this treatment alone. This May and June, you can receive it in Australia.
