Ayurveda
recognises the importance of a full and active life which facilitates the
fulfilment of one’s duties. According to Charaka,
the ancient Ayurvedic teacher, even
saints and holy men of yore found that their long stay in the plains as
mendicants had sapped their vitality. Therefore they sought refuge in the
Himalayas where Indra gave them the
secret of rejuvenation therapy.
What
is Rejuvenation Therapy?
Rejuvenation therapy
is known in Ayurveda as Rasayana chikitsa. It seeks to ward off
decay and debilitation through a mix of massages, medicines and right conduct.
The treatment is indicated for two types of patients: those who have become
debilitated prematurely through dissipation and bad habits; and those who are
ageing naturally but would like to ward off the physical manifestations of old
age.
Sexual
Rejuvenation
This treatment is
known in Ayurveda as Vajeekarana or enhancement of sexual
prowess. This is resorted to in case of patients who, though young, have become
impotent due to natural causes or due to excessive indulgence; those who have
lost their normal sexual urge or those who suffer from the effects of venereal
diseases.
Semen is considered
as one of the seven vital elements of the body. Ayurveda considers semen as the source of physical beauty, energy,
intelligence and physical strength. Loss of semen due to over-indulgence or
other reasons can lead to severe illnesses including loss of memory, depression
and physical weakness.
Ayurveda
has
very potent and time tested medicines for sexual rejuvenation such as Dasamoolarishta, Aswagandharishta,
Saraswatarishta, Sidhamakaradhwajam etc. Body massage, including Njavarakkizhi and dhara are also indicated in persons who are physically weak. Such
treatment should, however, be taken on the advice of experts in Ayurveda.
