AGEING AND RASAYAN – A CONCEPTUAL OVERVIEW

Abstract

One of the key characteristics of living things in the biosphere is a continual responsiveness and change in the shape, and maybe the functioning. According to contemporary scientists, the biosphere is an open system that continually interacts with its surroundings. However, responsiveness has inherent characteristics that differ from one organism to another. This starts at conception, continues throughout life, and when it completely stops, the organism dies. Two significant maxims have been delivered by nature over the course of human existence. One is expansion, while the other is a species' ability to reproduce or multiply. Growth guarantees the appropriate maturity for the reproductive period. The creature progresses toward death when the reproductive period is over. Thus, ageing will be strictly measured starting at conception in both a chronological and qualitative sense.   One of the eight branches of Ayurveda, Rasayana or Jara Chikitsa, has been widely and successfully used for centuries. Rasayana is utilized as a curative treatment that works despite its primary focus on enhancing health. As a result, it promotes and lengthens life span by both curing diseases and preventing them from returning. In order to combat aging and its consequences, this study will attempt to glean the significance and value of Rasayana Dravyas as well as some theoretically relevant truths.

Key Words – Rasayana Chikitsa, Ageing, Jara Chikitsa, etc.
