Ayurveda, Aging, Rasayana and Therapies

Ayurveda is the healing gift to us from the ancient enlightened Vedic culture. According to historical records in ancient Vedic texts, the Vedic system, including Ayurved, was in practice even before 1500 BC. Hence, we know that Ayurved was very mature and predominant in India thousands of years ago.

Ayurveda is a health system based on harmony with nature. It is the major traditional Indian system of medicines practiced in India. The vista of Ayurveda is widening and attracting the global community. It is not only treating sickness, it is based on preventing disease and enhancing health, longevity and vitality also.

Aging in modern science is defined as a progressive failure of the body haemostatic adaptive response. This concept of aging is widely scattered in various texts in the Ayurvedic classics, but has also been focally concerned under a specialty called Rasayana which is the foremost branch of Ahstanga Ayurveda.

Today the whole world is desperately looking for new lifestyles that include preventive and curative herbal products, healthy diet, stress-free careers, and happy lasting relationship and for relaxed mind- body side -lining the laws of nature.

Ayurveda has an extensive system of detoxification called Pancha Karma. Pancha Karma includes a system of oil massage, sweating therapy, and various internal cleansing processes to remove the doshas from the tissues, which is to effectively eliminate disease-causing toxins from the body so that they cannot promote the disease process. This therapy forms half of the treatment in Ayureda.

It's our endeavor at Herbalage Anti-Aging Network to provide this wholeness of health through products and therapies.
