Core concept
Also known as: Rejuvenative therapy
Definition
Rasayana is one of the eight classical branches of Ayurveda. It includes both specific preparations, such as amla-based Chyawanprash, and a rasayana way of living: kindness, moderation and good daily habits.
Guduchi (giloy) and amla are among the best-known rasayana herbs.
Rasayana herbs are traditionally chosen by a physician for the individual. They are supportive, not a substitute for any medical treatment, and products should come from reputable, licensed manufacturers.
Roughly, 'the path of rasa' — the nourishing essence of food. In practice it means rejuvenative care that supports strength and resilience.
Traditional Chyawanprash contains sugar or jaggery. Ask your doctor before using it; sugar-free versions exist but still need medical advice.
Guduchi Ayurveda's BAMS-qualified physicians offer online and in-clinic consultations, working alongside your existing treatment.
