Incredible Effect of Rasayana in Immunity

Ayurveda is a holistic science that emphasizes the maintenance and promotion of health through the prevention and curing aspects. According to Sushruta Samhita, term swasthya is the equilibrium state of Dosha, Agni, Dhatu, and Mala. Three doshas (vata, pitta, kapha), Agni (dhatvagni, bhutagni and jatharagni), Sapta Dhatu (Ras, rakta, mansa, meda, asthi, majja, shukra) and Trimala are responsible for maintaining good health. Rasayan is one of the eight clinical specialties of Ayurveda. The Rasayan therapy improves the qualities of Rasa and enriches it with nutrients so one can attain longevity, memory, intelligence, freedom from disorder, youthfulness, excellence of luster, complexion, and voice. The word “Rasayana” means the way to attain excellent Rasadi Dhatus. In Ayurveda, one of the major methods of presentation of positive health has been described i.e. Rasayana. This resistance power of the body, which prevents the development of diseases, is called Immunity or Vyadhikshamatva. The ultimate aim of Rasayana therapy is to correct Dosha imbalance and improve Agni and Dhatu function which overall improves strength and immunity. The application of Rasayan therapy comes in perspective of premature ageing and death. Rasayanas are used for preventive, curative, and health-promotive purposes.
