AN NARRATIVE REVIEW ON THE EFFECT OF RASAYANA THERAPY IN RASA SHASTRA

Abstract

Rasayana, a cornerstone of Rasa Shastra, the ancient Indian science of alchemy and rejuvenation, holds profound significance in fostering health, vitality, and longevity. This abstract elucidates the effects of Rasayana therapies on the human body according to Rasa Shastra principles, integrating insights from classical texts and modern research. Various types of Rasayana, as described in Ayurveda, contribute to a long and vibrant life. However, before initiating Rasayana treatment, certain prerequisites such as age (Vaya), constitution (Prakriti), adaptability (Satamya), and the status of Doshas, Dhatus, Agni, Ojas, and Strotas must be considered.

Rasayana therapies have been shown to facilitate cellular regeneration, enhance immunity, optimize metabolic function, and promote overall well-being. Furthermore, this abstract explores the therapeutic potential of Rasayana in managing chronic diseases, improving quality of life, and augmenting longevity. By amalgamating ancient wisdom with contemporary science, Rasayana in Rasa Shastra offers a holistic approach to health and wellness that transcends cultural and generational boundaries.
