Abstract

Longevity in Ayurvedic terms is Deerghaau. At present time, it is  a strong issue because day by day increasing pollution and  unhealthy lifestyle are decreasing the average age of a human.In  Ayurveda, Aachaaryaas have enlightened many principles of  Deerghaau like- ritu parichariyaa and shodasha sanskaraas  (beejdharana, garbhadharana etc). Aachaaryaas have also  mentioned the drugs in each decade (10 yrs.) of life for desirable  effects (like bala, buddhi etc.). For long and healthy life our  Aachaaryaas have emphasised on aahar- vihar . according to  kaala satmya (seasonal adaptability), Desh satmya( climate and  place adaptability), Prakriti satmya(person to person adaptability) etc. If not follow these  principles one can suffer from many diseases and this may lead to unnatural death that is known  as akaala mrtyu. Akaala mrtyu is unnatural progressive death of cells and tissues. It can stopped  by akaala mrtyu samprapti vighatana and rejuvenising the decaying body through ayurvedic procedures like- sodhana karma, rasayana prayoog, snehan karma which further promotes the  oja in the body.
