'Oh' those desirous of a healthy long life! Listen to us explaining the method

of rejuvenation treatment which is like another nectar, having incomprehensible

miraculous effects, promoting life span, providing health, sustaining

youthfulness, relieving sleepiness, drowsiness, exertion, exhaustion, lassitude

and debility, restoring equilibrium of the doshas, bringing stability,

alleviating laxity of muscles, kindling the internal fire and producing of

excellent lustre, complexion and voice". ( Ref :Charaka Samhitha)

Objectives of life

Dharma: - One's duty unto oneself, to the family, society, nation i.e. one's

duty unto humanity.

Artha: - Reaping of the benefits of duty.

Kama: - Satisfaction of desires.

Moksha: - Attainment of salvation.

A healthy long life is essential for the achievement of these four fold

objectives. Ayurvedic principles are meant for those who want to live a healthy

long life. The qualitative and quantitative balance of the seven basic tissues

(dhathus) is essential for maintaining the body in a healthy condition. In our

life span we need to consider the following three stages :

1. Up to the 16 year: - The time of maximum nourishment, In which the

nourishment of the dhathus take place.

2. Between 16 - 70year: - The generative and degenerative process balance each

other in this period.

3. After 70 year: - The period of aging. The degenerative process overrides the generative process.

Presently the modern life with its faster pace, departure from nature's rhythm

and nutritional living initiates the aging process at a much more earlier age

itself.

The following are the main causes of aging / premature aging:

1. Excessive use of food & drinks which have sour, salty and spicy tastes.

2. Intake of alkalies. (Certain preservatives, baking soda etc.)

3. Consumption of old food (tinned canned foods).

4. Over intake of oil fried food.

5. Excessive intake of non- vegetarian food.

6. Incompatible / antagonistic food.

7. Untimely eating schedule.

8. Over eating.

9. Intake of food when suffering from indigestion.

10. Sleep during the daytime.

11. Excess consumption of alchohol and over indulgence in vices.

12. Over exertion.

13. Negetive emotions like greediness, passion, fear, anger, grief etc..

Knowingly or unknowingly most of us are indulging in some of these activities

which result in aging even in the young or middle ages, with the following

symptoms :

The person is subdued with malaise, depression, sleep, drowsiness, lassitude,

lack of enthusiasm, dyspnoea, incompetence in physical and mental activities,

loss of memory, intellect and lustre, and gradually becomes resort to illnesses

and does not enjoy the normal life span.

The Principles of Rejuvenation Therapy.

Briefly it is the treatment for the nourishment of the body tissues. This

therapy slows down the aging process by decreasing the degenerative process.

The appropriate time for this therapy is between the age of 16 - 70 yr.
