The average span of an individual has increased in present times
due to better quality of medical help and improved nutrition.
Therefore the number of old people in the society has gone up.
Rejuvenation or rasayana therapy, prescribed in Ayurveda, is meant
to help improve the quality of lives of old people. Charaka, while
defining the scope of this therapy, states that through it, the
individual is endowed with longevity; memory; intellect; positive
health; youthfulness; excellent complexion, voice, strength of
the sensory and motor organs and luster. Instead of a society
of old and invalid people, it aims at creating a society of youthful
vigor-both physical and mental.
Rejuvenation therapy aims at keeping the enzymes in the tissues
cells in their normal functioning conditions. These cells are
revitalized and their composition is changed. This prevents the
process of aging and makes the individual free from any disease
in his advanced years. He is able to see as clearly as before
and maintain his hearing abilities, as also the glow on his face
and the colour of his skin. The sooner the therapy is administered
to the individual the better. As the person grows older, this
therapy becomes ineffective.
The Rejuvination therapy is administered classically in two ways:
- Kutipraveshik (Indoor management)
- Vatatapik (Outdoor management)
Ayush Health Paradise specializes in the Indoor management
of both young and old people for Rejuvenation therapy. At Ayush

therapy the body is made free of toxins initially by Panchkarma
and then the patient is administered with highly potent Ayurvedic
Rasayanas. The patient is also kept on a specialized diet and
daily routine so as to balance his doshas and to increase the
satvic content of the mind.
For rejuvenation, many drugs are described in Ayurvedic classics,
and prescribed by Ayurvedic physicians. The most important ones
are Amalaki, Bibhataki, Haritaki, Guduchi and Brahmi. Besides
these there are few other Rasayanas which are administered daily
increasing the dose with each passing day. The mode of administration,
the method of preparation, the dosage, the diet and the precautions
to be taken while administering these drugs, vary from drug to
drug. Normally, they require the supervision of experts. To obtain
the desired effect, the therapy should be followed for a considerable
amount of time. The duration of this therapy depends on the age
and other physical and psychological conditions of the individual.
There are many pharmaceutical processes to make these drugs palatable.
The most common tonic used by Ayurvedic physicians is Chyavanprasha.
Ayurvedic physicians consider Chyavanprasha more a food than a
medicine. The dosage of this medicine has to be increased gradually.
This medicine is absolutely non-toxic.
