Rejuvenation Therapy in Ayurveda (Rasayana Chikitsa)

In today’s busy world health and healthcare have taken a backseat. With a busy schedule, people find it difficult to set time apart for their health. But one thing to keep in mind is that healthcare is essential and crucial. Without proper management and care your health condition can deteriorate, and it can be too late to rectify this by the time you find out. As a solution to this problem, we at Krishnendu have structured a well-planned ayurvedic rejuvenation program also known as Rasayana Chikitsa, for your health.

Rasayana is derived from two separate Sanskrit words: Rasa meaning the “basic essence that nourishes the body,” and Ayana signifying “path”. Thus, Rasayana represents a nourishing pathway. Rasayana Chikitsa is a holistic renewal treatment for treating nutrient deficiencies, with an emphasis on the constituent components of the body.

The rasayana chikitsa, or rejuvenation therapy is viewed equivalent to rebirth, for it totally renews the body, disposing of the ill-effects of every single past problem. Its purifying impact gives a renewed life by totally cleaning the body, mind and spirit.

Process of Rasayana Chikitsa

Rasayana is one of ayurveda’s eight branches being practised. Rasayana therapy has been described in Ayurveda as a systematic and scientific medical discipline. Rasayana medicines are capable of imparting superior rasas and dhatus to the body and toning up the system of healthy persons. Rasayana aid in increasing natural immunity, enhancing general wellbeing, improving the functioning of all fundamental organs of the body and keep the signs of early ageing at bay.
