1. Rasayana Therapy:

Rasayana is a branch of Ayurveda that focuses on rejuvenation, revitalization, and enhancing the vitality of the body and mind.

Purpose: The primary goal of Rasayana is to promote longevity, delay the aging process, and boost the immune system.

Herbs and Formulations: Rasayana therapies often involve the use of specific herbs, minerals, and Ayurvedic formulations that are known for their rejuvenating properties. Examples include Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Amla (Indian gooseberry), and Guduchi.

Dietary Recommendations: Rasayana often includes dietary guidelines, emphasizing the consumption of nourishing and wholesome foods that support the overall health of tissues (Dhatus) in the body.

2. Relaxation Therapy:

Purpose: Ayurveda recognizes the impact of stress on health and well-being. Relaxation therapies aim to reduce stress, calm the mind, and promote a sense of inner peace.
Techniques: Abhyanga (Ayurvedic Oil Massage): A full-body massage using warm herbal oils to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and nourish the skin. Shirodhara: A therapeutic technique involving a continuous flow of warm oil onto the forehead, typically over the “third eye” area. It helps calm the nervous system and induce a state of deep relaxation. Nasya: The administration of herbal oils or decoctions through the nasal passages, which can have a calming effect on the mind and alleviate stress. Yoga and Meditation: Ayurveda often recommends specific yoga postures (asanas) and meditation practices to promote mental relaxation and balance.

Panchakarma: A detoxification and purification process that involves therapies like oil massages, herbal steam, and cleansing procedures.
