A review on Concept of organelle ageing w.s.r to Rasayana therapy

Abstract

Since time immemorial, Scientists across the world have been concerned in how the longevity and youthfulness of an individual can be preserved and hence how can ageing be delayed, because as ageing occurs it is accompanied with a lot of health challenges including heart attacks, strokes, cancer, diabetes. From the last few decades it has been noticed that the average life expectancy of the population in not only in India but across the world has decreased to 70.19 years. But on the contrary it has been noticed that that there are some regions in the world where till date the average living rate ranges from 90-100 years. After a lot of researches on the lifestyle of these people it was found that this was purely because of the concept of Rasayana. Ayurveda being the integrative mode of medicine and being the only field of medicine mentions about the rasayana therapy or the rejuvenative therapy. Rasayan therapy is a holistic approach which includes usage of Haritaki, Brahmi, Amalaki, Mandukaparni, Pippali along with different methods like Kutipravasika and Vatatapika.In this the person should avoid the aggravation of doshas in his/her body. The Rasayana drugs augment lifespan, mental capacity and the vitality of the individual. To see the relevance whether Rasayan Therapy works in increasing the longevity of people the data analysis of the blue zones of the world ( places with the highest living rate ) along with the red zones ( places with the lowest living rate ) were done. The aahar-vihaar, dinacharya, of these two populations were analyzed and then put up together and then statistically examined. The average life expectancy of people in the blue zones of the world were about 90-100 years whereas the average life expectancy of people in red zones were 50-60 years according to the data collected by the world population data 2022.It proved the fact that by following the Rasayana therapy including a healthy dietary lifestyle, improving the daily dinacharya, and proper sleep schedule can increase the longevity of the people.
