Kajaria Divya*
ABSTRACT
Immortality is an everlasting dream of mankind which he always eager to achieve, but death and aging are two inevitable truths that are not conquer by the scientist beside tremendous efforts. Death and aging are natural adversity for which medicines still have to search. Many researches are working on stimulation of stem cell by molecular tools, use of functionalised nanostructure material etc, for development of regenerating medicines but none of them claim to be successful. Growing older and death are subsequent phenomenon but it is not essential that later is always followed by former. Therefore preventing aging and rejuvenation (i.e. new growth) is two different phenomenons. Interestingly, description of both these technique (technique for arresting tissue damage thereby preventing aging and technique for new tissue growth) is elaborately described in ancient Ayurvedic text dated 3000 year back. Rasayana is a branch of Ayurvedic medical science that deals with the destruction of aging and promotion of longevity. Acharya Sushruta was perhaps the first to describe the in-vivo stimulation of skin stem cell technique and documented its effects. Unfortunately due to lack of insight and research, this technique is neither flourished nor used anymore. The present article discuss the Rasayana therapy as described in the Ayurveda with the hope that it may prove beneficial for scientific community for developing regenerative medicine especially for neuronal diseases and Hematopoietic diseases.
