I went to Patanjali Yog Gram, Haridwar for treatment and I am writing my experience. Hopefully it helps you in deciding whether you should go there or not.
1. About yog gram
The yog gram was established by swami Ramdev and its head doctor is Nagendra Neeraj. Unlike various medicinal systems, nature care cures using proper diet, exercise, air, water, color etc. It is free from side effects. If there are any side effects then they are not as sever as modern medicines.
At the yog gram your medicines are stopped slowly and your body heals itself. Though personally I did not experience any dramatic changes in my health, it gave me a solid foundation in healthy living.
They teach you how to eat, what to eat, how much to eat, how to sleep, how to drink water, how to use naturopathy to cure yourself. They teach you how to live in sync with the nature. It is a life changing experience for everyone and I recommend everyone should experience it once. There two lectures every morning and evening. If you are at the yog gram then you must attend these lectures.
I learnt how to fast properly at the yog gram. I did a water fasting for 7 days and by the end of 7 days my brittle nails became very strong. I witnessed people going on water fast, juice fast for 15 days, 21 days and 30 days and even more. There was a man who had sexual problems and by fasting for 3 weeks on water his problem was cured. There was a woman who was not able to conceive but after fasting for 30 days on water she became pregnant.
They have beautifully integrated the best of alternative medicines. They teach you bhajan therapy, laughter therapy, gratitude, thankfulness, yog nidra, natural cooking.
It is important to realise that disease is a manifestation of your mind. First your mind becomes sick then your physical body falls sick. If you have to get your health back then you must work on your diet, thoughts, posture, environment. It has to be an integrated approach.
2. How to get admission to patanjali yog gram -
You have to drop a mail to onlineyoggram@divyayog.com. Describe you current medical problems, past medical history, medicines you are taking and attach the relevant reports. It'll be reviewed by the doctors at the yog gram and they'll revert back to you.
You can not just drive to the yog gram and expect to get admitted to it. You have to book your seat in advance by paying one week's charges in advance.
3. Treatment charges

4. What should you bring with you
Bring clothes according to the season. Please do not go by the weather report mentioned on the website. Winter starts from October and lasts till late Feb/March. Winter is really chilly. It is best to avoid visiting the yog gram during winters as it gets really cold.
Must bring necessary medicines as the yog gram is situated in a very remote location. There is no market near about. There is small shop inside that sells soaps, inner wears, sandals, towels, some ayurvedic medicines, patanjali biscuits etc.
5. What you should not bring
6. Facilities at the yog gram
7. Cons of Yog Gram
Yoga is taught in large group. So personal attention is missing. I witnessed few cases where some people with back pain, cervical spondolysis, sciatica etc did forward bends and after that their problems aggravated and they had to leave ultimately. They have a few yoga helpers but they are not very knowleageable. So it is best to avoid yoga sessions.
