[[Rasayana]] essentially denotes medicinal nutrition, rejuvenation, longevity, immune-enhancing and geriatric health care. The ''rasayanas'' are not necessarily drugs. They may be in the form of a ''rasayana'' food, or a positive healthy life style with a ''Rasayana'' effect or a ''Rasayana'' drug or all the three together. The ''Rasayana'' remedies promote good qualities of the cells and tissues of the body through improved nutrient effect, boosting the digestion, metabolism and/or augmenting the microcirculation and tissue perfusion.
