ABSTRACT

Ageing is the progressive deteriorative changes that starts from birth, continue throughout the life and ends with death. Increasing number of elders in the population is a matter of great concerns because of its impacts on public health and socio-economic growth of our country. As per the report of National Commission on Population, there are nearly 138 million elderly people in India in 2021. Prevention and management of health problems could help the elderly to improve quality of life and remain independence for their daily activities. As the age advances Dhatus get degenerated due to prolonged structural and functional changes. Rasayana is a multi-angled approach, taking care of the body, mind and spirit, thus responsible for the total health of a person.
