What is ayurverdic rejuvenation Therapy?

In order to keep inner stamina our doshas (constitution) need to be in balance and nourished. We are very eager to apply purification therapies and we forget that regeneration is as important as purification
(panchakarma).

Think about what are the factors that debilitates you, then apply the correct strategy. If you are lacking sleep then sleep is the most indicated therapy, if you are to self-centered them some service will help you. The key word is rejuvenation is nourishing which comes together with an attitude of care and respect for your nature.


In ayurveda the rejuvenation aspect of tissues is call rasayana. Path (āyana) of essence (rasa).
Rasayan therapy is a complex alchemy that enriches rasa with nutrients to help one attain longevity, memory, intelligence, health, youthfulness, excellence of luster, complexion and voice, optimum development of physique and sense organs, mastery over phonetics, respectability and brilliance.
When we think in rejuvenation we thing in tonics or in other herbs and supplements to enhance the strength, vitality and longevity. We also think in satisfying the basic desire to live, to earn a living and a desire to perform virtuous acts.
 
Types of Rasayan
  1. Kamya Rasayans are promoters of normal health. These boost body energy levels, immunity and general health.
    • Pranakamya – Promoter of vitality and longevity
    • Medhakamya – Promoter of intelligence.
    • Srikamya – Promoter of complexion.
    • Naimittika Rasayans help to fight a specific disease.
In pursuit of these matters, herbal prescriptions with many herbal substances, preserved in ghee and honey are given. Chyawanprash is one of the traditional rasayans. Specific adaptogenics herbs are also included in rasayanas including amla, shilajit, ashwaganda, holy basil, guduchi and shatavari.

The body when is clean, free of toxins and support with the proper lifestyle naturally rejuvenate itself. However our rigid believes systems and modern lifestyle makes the rejuvenation of body and mind slow of difficult. Rasayana is one science that our modern times will need to adopt to bring physical and psychological improvement.
