ABSTRACT

Background: Most of people neglect their lifestyle and diet patterns which lead to several metabolic disorders, in which Dyslipidemia occupies a major part which leads to risk factor for atherosclerotic. India shows increasing mean total cholesterol levels as per a review of population-based studies and reported that high cholesterol is present in 25–30% of urban and 15–20% of rural subjects. Dyslipidemia is Santarpanajanya vyadhi as the Poshaka Medodhatu (comprising of different categories of lipoproteins) will be in excess in circulation and can be referred to the conditions such as quantitatively increased Abaddha Meda or Asthayi Medodhatu. 

Material and Methods: Ayurvedic texts, as well as the data bases Google Scholar, PubMed, Medline, AYUSH Research Portal, and Digital Helpline for Ayurveda Research Articles (DHARA), Research Gate web-based search engines, journals, were used to search for relevant literature and information

Result: Faulty diet (which is high in saturated fat and cholesterol), lifestyle, and hereditary factors are the major etiological factors of Dyslipidemia. Apakkva Poshaka Medo Dhatu is nothing but the abnormal and excess total lipids, total phospholipids, triglycerides, fatty acids and cholesterol, etc., and also a risk factor for diseases like Prameha, Jwara, Bhagandara, Vrana, Vataroga, etc. Treatments that reduce Medas (fat), Anila (vata), and Shleshmana (Kapha) are desirable and required. 

Conclusion: The fundamental principles of Ayurveda should apply to achieving Dhatusamya and restoring the normal function of Agni, Dosha, and Dhatu. 

AJASRIKA RASAYANA- A POTENTIAL REJUVENATION FOR LONGEVITY OF LIFE INTERNATIONAL AYURVEDIC MEDICAL JOURNAL (IAMJ); ISSN: 2320-5091; Impact Factor: 6.719 (Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2022)

ABSTRACT:

Introduction: Ayurveda, the indigenous system of medicine bears a unique concept of Rasayana. It maintains the longevity of life and increases vitality and mental competence. The term ‘Rasayana’ refers to the means of obtaining optimum standards of Rasa. It is not a drug therapy but a specialized procedure practiced in the form of rejuvenation recipes, dietary regimens, and special health-promoting conduct and behavior. Ajasrika Rasayana is one of the different types of Rasayana which should be consumed regularly just like the food. Ghrita and Ksheera have been mentioned as Ajasrika Rasayana by Acharya Sushruta.

Aim: To explore the importance of Ajasrika Rasayana for the longevity of life with special reference to Ghrita and Ksheera.

Materials and Methods: Classical texts of Ayurveda with available commentaries, published research papers, books, subject-related data on the internet, and other sources have been compiled, critically analyzed, and systematically organized to frame the present thought paper.

Discussion and Conclusion: Ajasrika refers to the regular use of nutritious foods for the endorsement of health. Ajasrika Rasayana when taken regularly provides nourishment to Rasa-Raktadi Dhatus and also enhances Ojas. Ghrita is one such amongst them. It augments Smriti, Buddhi, and Agni, and boosts ojas, thereby having the effect of Rasayana which improves the immunity power of the body. Ksheer is known as Pravara Jivaniya, Ajanma Satmya, and is considered as Jivana, Brimhana, Nitya Rasayana, and Pathyatama. It has Dhatuvardhaka and Ojovardhaka properties. Thus, Ghrita and Ksheera as Ajasrika Rasayana contribute to the healthy long life of a person.
