Aging is a natural process and with the support of Ayurveda, it can be healthy, making elderly people independent rather than depending on others and not be able to fulfill daily tasks. Health is not just physical or a body that is free of diseases, instead, real health is the balanced functioning of a sattvic mind, sense organs and a content soul within the body.
The treatment of the elderly in Ayurveda is explained under the category of ‘Vridhopacharaneeyam’.
To improve the individual's health we recommend the use of powerful herbal formulations, to practice meditation, yoga or other exercise forms and the use of Ayurvedic oils to improve the elderly's quality throughout the year. A daily / seasonal routine, a well balanced and nutritious diet, counsel work, Rasayana Therapy, and lots of love is the remedy to grow old with a strong immune system.
Rasayana Therapy means the Path (āyana) of essence (rasa). This part of the science deals with anti-aging, longevity of life span, improvement of physical strength as well as brain function and the treatment of various diseases. Rasayana Therapy along with body Therapies like Shirodhara or Abhyanga will recharge the aged individual and restore lost energy.
