Dr. Bimal Chhajer
MBBS, MD, Founder | SAAOL
Born in 1961 into a Jain family, Dr Chhajer grew up in a small village in West Bengal and passed his matriculation with flying colours from a local school. He studied at St. Lawrence High School in Kolkata and thereafter he pursued his MBBS from R.G. Kar Medical College, Kolkata.
At 25, he moved to Delhi, where he began his career in the Cardiology department at Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, New Delhi.
An incident during his tenure at RML Hospital led to the transformation of his ideas on the treatment of cardiac patients. Subsequently, he started advocating non-invasive or preventive cardiology.
He went on to complete his MD in 1989 from King George’s Medical College, Lucknow where he took up research to treat heart patients using non-invasive methods.
After completing his MD, he worked at the famous All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) for six years (1989-1995) as a Senior Resident and Assistant Professor. He also mastered yoga therapy in his stint. His research at the AIIMS showed that not only could heart patients prevent coronary heart disease but also reverse or cure it.
Dr Chhajer also got trained by Dr Dean Ornish, the revolutionary physician and the founder of the Ornish diet in the USA. In 1995, based on his past research, Dr Bimal Chhajer resigned from AIIMS and began the journey of training and treating heart patients with his new treatment called “SAAOL” Science And Art Of Living in Delhi.
In 1996 Dr Chhajer opened his second clinic in Mumbai and subsequently expanded SAAOL centres across Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad. In 2009, Dr Chhajer and the SAAOL team worked extensively to expand the treatment portfolio and introduced ECP and SDT for the first time in the country. In the same year, SAAOL opened its first international centre in Dhaka, Bangladesh and a year later in Nepal, Kathmandu. Currently, Dr Chhajer has 110+ centres across the Indian subcontinent. SAAOL Heart Centre/Heartcare is now the largest chain of non-invasive cardiology clinics in the world.
“SAAOL Heart Program”, the brainchild of Dr Chhajer, is a widely accepted treatment program for reversing heart disease today – where in addition to the allopathic medicines, patients are taught yoga, meditation, zero oil cooking methods, stress management, exercise and medical knowledge. Dr Chhajer has authored about 70 books for heart patients and his lectures are available in the form of DVD and on digital platforms like Youtube. He is a magnificent teacher of preventive cardiology. Dr Chhajer extensively travels all over India and the world to advocate the adoption of non-invasive modes of treatment for reversing your heart condition. He also publishes 2 monthly magazines.

My blockage was 80-90% and heart pumping was about 24 and my main complaints were discomfort, unable to walk, major breathing issues. That is when I came across SAAOL and Dr. Bimal Chhajer. I watched his lectures and learned that Heart blockages can be reversed without surgery and with a few lifestyle changes. I started my treatment at SAAOL and within a month’s time I feel much healthier and are able to perform all day-to-day activities with ease. I am able to walk for an hour daily, I don’t feel fatigue or any kind of discomfort now. I am very grateful to Dr. Chhajer for his guidance and for providing heart patients with an alternate that is cost effective also.

I had a minor heart attack in 1989 and doctors told me that getting bypass surgery is my only option but I refused. I met Dr. Bimal Chhajer at a medical residential camp in Faridabad and at that time I was unable to do day-to-day work due to excessive pain in my body and I was taking atleast 6-7 Sorbitrate tablets per day. I immediately started the EECP treatment and Detox Therapy along with diet and lifestyle changes including yoga, and meditation, and followed a zero oil diet plan for 40 days. For 2 years I kept on following these lifestyle changes and now after 25 years I am completely fine and I am also able to do normal day-to-day activities very easily. All this was made possible SAAOL without any kind of bypass surgery or angioplasty.

Year ago my husband was suffering from angina and discomfort in walking and doing sedentary activities. We heard about SAAOL through YouTube. We consulted Dr.Chhajer and were told that my husband’s Heart health could get better without surgery and with a few lifestyle changes. Post completion of the treatment his test reports only showed 50% blockage. He takes his regular medication and follows the SAAOL recommended Lifestyle like Zero Oil Cooking, Yoga, etc. His health is constantly improving. We are very grateful to SAAOL and Dr.Chhajer for his noble service for the society.

About 6-7 months ago I suffered from minor angina due to which doctors told me to go for a stent. After 3 months, I had a Heart stroke which got me really worried about my health. A friend recommended Dr.Bimal’s YouTube channel and I got to know about Natural Bypass. . It is a process that treats Heart blockage without any surgery and I started my treatment immediately. I took 35 EECP sessions along with medication and followed the SAAOL Lifestyle. I am so relieved now as my condition has improved tremendously and I am at ease now. I would like to thank Dr.Chhajer for his advise and for healing lakhs of Heart patients the Natural way. I will definitely spread knowledge about this treatment to my near and dear ones.
