One of the objectives of Ayurveda is to maintain youth – through a disciplined lifestyle and Rasayana. It is well known that a healthy tissue having good quality is less prone to a disease; and even if a diseases pathology develops; it recovers faster with minimal damage. The pathway and nourishment of the body tissues are addressed by a branch of Ayurveda named – Rasayana. Rasayana treatment not only prevents ageing, but also treats diseases, promotes vision, nourishes body, and improves reproductive functions. Rasayana treatment is implemented in different ways in Back to Roots Ayurveda – Rasayana treatments integrated to a routine life; and secondly an In-house Rasayana treatment where the daily routines and diet is carefully controlled.

Ayurveda suggest specific herbs in each decade of life as we lose certain qualities in each decade of ageing. For example – One loses body glow in 3rd decade; therefore, Ayurveda recommends iron compounds and Amla as a Rasayana. There are also rasayana herbs targeted to different body structures, such as – Sesame seeds for bones; Aswagandha for muscle tissues. However, one may not get all the benefits of Rasayana after we lived in the worse lifestyle for several years. When degeneration sets in, it is NOT an ideal time for Rasayana. The ideal time for doing Rasayana is before 70 years. Rasayana should be given to achieve the optimum health of body tissues, while one is in the childhood and middle age, so that the body is ready for a longer journey. Rasayana involves not only herbs & medicines, but also, health regimens, good conduct, and behavior. A typical Rasayana package is performed through various stages at our Ayurveda clinic in Abu Dhabi –
