Abstract
Rasa in Sanskrit means juice, essence, emotion etc and Ayana means path. Therefore Rasayana roughly means - the path of the juice. Rasayana has been widely and elaborately described by Acharyas. The classification and selection of Rasayana has been described on various grounds for the better understanding and appropriate applicability. Rasayana nourishes body, boosts immunity and helps to keep the body and mind in best of health. Our immunity, strength and resistance depend on the quality and quantity of Ojas, when depleted it predisposes us to lowered immunity, low spirits and ill-health. The main aim of Ayurvedic rejuvenation therapy or Rasayana therapy is to restore spirit, vitality and enhance Ojus thereby attain longevity.
