Ayurveda for elderly
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.
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.

Papaya mask
1 tbsp ripe Papaya 1 tsp Yoghurt 1 tsp Aloe Vera gel
The enzymes of the papaya act as a powerful exfoliator and dissolve inactive proteins and dead skin cells. Yoghurt is antibacterial and antifungal which both help to fight acne. And Aloe Vera has a cooling effect that moisturizes the skin.
Avocado mask
3 tbsp ripe Avocado Rosewater
Mix the Avocado with the Rosewater until you have a thick, homogeneous paste.
Avocado is a natural booster that contains vitamins B, C, E, and D which all help to restore skin, prevent wrinkles and promote softness. Rosewater helps to balance and reduces the redness of irritated skin.
Cucumber mask
1 tbsp grated Cucumber 1 tbsp Yoghurt Green Clay
Combine the cucumber with the yoghurt and add green clay to bind the mixture.
Cucumber contains vitamins and minerals that help to reduce inflamed or irritated skin and due to its high water content, it hydrates as well. Yoghurt has a cooling effect and green Clay helps to restore the balance of your skin.
Apply the mask to the cleansed face and décolleté, avoid the eye area. Use upward strokes to apply the mask and leave on for approximately 10 - 15 minutes. Use a downward movement to wash the mask gentle with warm water off.
