A comprehensive review Concept of Aachara Rasayana in Ayurveda

Abstract

Ayurveda offers a holistic system for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Rasayan chikitsa is a branch of Ashtang Ayurveda that is extremely powerful and vital. Ajastrik rasayan, Kamya rasayan, Naimittik rasayan, Kutipraveshik rasayan, Vaatatapik rasayan are just a few of the numerous Rasayans documented in Ayurvedic ancient texts. All of the Rasayan can be used as a treatment or medicine to treat or maintain health. But there is Rasayan, which has nothing to do with drugs or medication, but rather with the secret factors of our personalities that are embedded in our bodies and minds. Understanding and obeying the Shastras helps to create Aachara, or virtuous behaviour (treatise). Aachara rasayana is the proper observance and application of Aachara and Vichara. Its practical use not only extends one's life span but also improves one's quality of life. It promotes mental and physical well-being. Longevity of life and excellent health would be impossible to obtain without a strong mental condition. When the nervous system is stimulated by external or internal stimuli, it activates a particular immunological response, which compromises the individual's emotional and mental well-being. It is thus essential to maintain physical and psychological immunity, and this objective may be reached with the assistance of Ayurveda knowledge. We can make life more enjoyable by minimising stress and the danger of various psychological problems. Aachara Rasayana is an Ayurvedic approach for managing social behaviour and ensuring a good existence in a healthy society.
