A comparative study of Rasayans w.s.r. to Amalakam Vayasthapananama

The ageing is a deleterious, progressive, universal and thus far irreversible. Constant efforts have been made to understand the process of ageing and try to slow the process. Premature ageing has been one of the most burning problems. The main etiological factor behind it is stress. Right from the time of birth till the last breath drawn, an individual is invariably exposed to various stressful situations. This stressful lifestyle leads more and more people to age early before time i.e., Premature ageing. Ayurveda has separate branch for Jara - geriatrics among all eight branches, it indicates the importance of Jara and its management.Ayurveda scholars described ageing with two types: Kalaja Jara and Akalaja Jara. The Kalaja Jara or timely ageing is Yapya, which may be delayed by using the appropriate measures, whereas the Akalaja Jara is somewhat reversible by Rasayana therapy. This present work illustrates the comparative study of Rasayans (Haritaki and Amalaki) and its effect on different parameters.
