Older age can bring with it many nagging health problems like constipation, indigestion, aches and pains, sleeplessness, exhaustion, wrinkled skin, diminishing sensory faculties, etc.

There are 6 main streams of Ayurveda care for the elderly:

• Rasayana used for promotion of general health (Kamya Rasayana)
• Promotion of physical health (Prana kamah)
• Promotion of Mental health (Medha kamah)
• Promotion of Social health (Shree kamah)
• Curative treatment for particular diseases & immunity enhancers (Naimitika Rasayana)
• Recommendations of proper food and lifes-tyle habits for maintenance of day-to-day wear and tear (Ajasrika Rasayana) e.g. water, honey, milk and ghee

Rasayana is a ‘regenerative’ medicine branch of the Ayurveda medical system. It is dedicated to promote regeneration, enhance immunity and prevent degeneration – and is ideally suited for elderly care. The main results of Rasayana therapies include:

• Anti-ageing effects, including suppleness of the body and quality of the skin
• Enhanced memory and intellect
• Stronger body systems (including digestion) and senses
• Improved luster, complexion and voice
• Enhanced regeneration of affected dhatus (tissues)
• Restoration/maintenance of high energy levels
• Increased capacity to handle stress (Charaka samhita: Chi: 1: 7-8)
