Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and life sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Ayurveda is essentially a science, which deals with the philosophy of life. Rasayana tantra is one of the clinical specialties of Ayurveda. It is not only a single drug treatment but also a specialized therapeutic procedure practiced as a major specialty in Indian medicine. Rasayana means the way for attaining excellent Rasa etc. (dhatus). By undergoing through Rasayana method of treatment, an individual draws benefits of longevity, heightened memory, intelligence, health, youthfulness, excellence of luster, complexion & voice, opti-mum strength of body & senses. As far as Vyadhinashana function of Rasayana dravya is concerned it is not necessary that Rasayana dravya should directly take part into disease de-stroying process i.e. Samprapti-vighata, rather it enhances the quality of dhatus, thereby helps in arresting the steps of 'Shat-Kriyakala' involved in Samprapti. As dhatus are strong there is no more 'Kha-vaigynya' for sthan-samshraya & Vyakti to take place. In other words Ra-sayana enhances the 'Prohost Resistance' against diseases. Rasayana dravya achieve these functions by acting at various levels, i.e. Rasadhatu, Agni & Srotas. Rasayana enhances the immunity. The administration of the Rasayana drug enhances the process of longevity through immuno-modulation in terms of resisting the disease process or even arresting the production of the disease caused due to infection.
