Rasayana: Preventive measures for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs)

The most valuable possession we may have ourselves is good health. Everyone aspires to live a healthy life. One of the obstacles to achieving them is non-communicable diseases. Due to their high mortality rate, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a growing worry for society, national governments, and the entire world. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which account for 41 million deaths every year globally and 74% of all deaths, are the leading cause of death. The self-management, genetic, environmental, medical conditions and sociodemographic categories can all be used to group the primary risk factors for NCDs. Every medical system places a strong emphasis on curing diseases, but in Ayurveda, the goal of healthcare programs is always to maintain and preserve health rather than curing diseases. Previous studies demonstrated that practicing Atulyagotravivah and Putreshti Yagya before conception, Masanumasika, and Garbhini Paricharya throughout pregnancy and during the developing stage of adolescence, might reduce the risk of NCDs in children. Other research studies show that Rasayana contains antioxidants that reduce free radicals, which are thought to be a risk factor for NCDs. Studies affirm Rasayana practices rejuvenate mind-body systems. Integrating Dinacharya, Ritucharya, Shodhana, and Rasayana, including Aachar Rasayana and Sadvritta, alongside Yoga and Rasayana, partly prevents NCDs. Rasayana enhances immunity, Agni, tissue enrichment, and synthesis.
