ABSTRACT

Background: Ayurveda is the world's oldest and most authentic medicinal system. It is the science of life, and it has been aiding humanity for millennia. It is present after the onset of disorders in order to treat them and therefore lead to a better life. The primary goal of Ayurveda is to maintain health and treat sickness. The primary objective of human existence is to live a long and disease-free life by slowing down the ageing process and increasing immunity through a healthy lifestyle. Material and Methods: All available materials were studied and analysed for comprehensive knowledge of the concept of Rasayana (rejuvenation) therapy. Discussion: A long and healthy life is the key to accomplish the Purushartha Chatustaya in human life as explained in Ayurveda. Acharya Charak gave the first priority to long life among all as described in the first chapter Deerghanjeevitiya Adhyaya. Among all the three snas viz. Praneshna, Dhaneshna & Parlokeshna, the Pranesna is the prime factor to accomplish anything because prana is the base for the others. Conclusion: Everyone wishes to be as youthful as possible for as long as possible. Longevity is defined as the ability to live a long life. Longevity is simple to achieve with the help of Rasayana, which is described in ancient Ayurvedic scriptures. Rasayana is the process by which a healthy person can achieve long life, memory, health, youth, good rasa, tremendous strength, lusture, and the finest condition of Sapta Dhatus and balanced Tridoshas. Rasayana therapy helps in the renewal of the cells and tissues and improves overall health. Rasayana strengthens the immune system and leads to the formation of prime Ojas. Keywords: Jara, Geriatrics, Rejuvenation, Antioxidant, Ageing, Anti-ageing therapy.
