Concept of Ageing (Jara) and Its Management through Rasayana in Ayurveda

Abstract Ageing (Jara) is a universal and inevitable biological process marked by progressive decline in physiological efficiency, adaptive capacity, and tissue integrity, ultimately leading to senescence. Modern science explains ageing through cumulative cellular damage and reduced repair mechanisms, while Ayurveda presents a holistic understanding integrating body, mind, senses, and soul. According to Ayurveda, ageing is a lifelong, cumulative process that becomes evident after maturity and is mainly attributed to Dhatu-kshaya (tissue depletion), Agni-mandya (reduced metabolic efficiency), and Dosha imbalance, particularly Vata predominance.
Classical Ayurvedic texts describe a clear understanding of metabolic balance through the concepts of Chaya (anabolism) and Kshaya (catabolism), recognizing ageing as natural yet modifiable. Rasayana Tantra, one of the eight branches of Ayurveda, is specifically devoted to delaying ageing, enhancing longevity, vitality, immunity, and intellect, and preventing age-related diseases. Rasayana therapy aims not merely to extend lifespan but to improve the quality of life by maintaining structural and functional integrity of tissues and preserving psychosomatic harmony.
The present study is a conceptual and analytical review based on classical Ayurvedic texts, their commentaries, and relevant modern literature on ageing. It examines the concept of ageing from both modern and Ayurvedic perspectives, with special emphasis on Rasayana therapy, its definitions, classifications, and therapeutic utility. The review highlights that the Ayurvedic approach to ageing is preventive, promotive, and holistic, offering valuable insights for healthy ageing and integrative geriatric care.
