Abstract

Science has made incredible progress in the twenty-first century. At the same time, the world has come a  long way in the field of technical knowledge and new methods of medicine are also developing in the  health system, but it is also a bitter truth that health related services are getting costlier day by day. Human  life has become very dynamic in today's race. Currently human has everything but due to scarcity of time  we are not able to pay attention to our health. As a result human is suffering from various types of mental  and physical diseases like anxiety, depression, blood pressure, diabetes etc.  In such a circumstances, Rasayana therapy described in Ayurvedic literature can prove to be very  beneficial for the human society. Rasayana is one of the eight branches of Ayurveda and also known as  Rejuvenation therapy.  The principal aim of the Rasayana is to provide accelerated and appropriated nutrition leading to improved  biological competence of the body that leads to series of secondary attributes like prevention of aging,  longevity and promotion of mental and physical health.
