'''[[Rasayana]] (rejuvenation therapy)'''
'''[[Rasayana]] (rejuvenation therapy)'''
Rejuvenation therapy is one of the eight branches of [[Ayurveda]], concerned with healthy ageing, increasing longevity, intellect, strength, immunity, and also cure of the diseases that have occurred. [[Rasayana]], when administered in the early or middle years of life, with proper preparatory measures (like prior cleansing of the body, pleasant mind, etc.) bestows the individual with longevity, intellect, memory, youth, luster, sweetness of voice, the strength of body and senses, etc. It is considered to be the most superior way to bring the excellence of bodily tissues, hence bringing about their optimal functioning and enhancing the [[Bala]] or immunity. While most of the [[rasayana]] are general promoters of health, some are specifically dedicated to providing protection against some diseases. Some are designed to be used in the management of particular diseases.

Tinospora cordifolia (guduchi) is a [[rasayana]] drug that has been extensively studied and established for its immunomodulatory activity. It acts primarily on the non-specific immune mechanism, stimulating the same. Besides the immune-boosting activity, it has been studied for antioxidant, adaptogenic, antimicrobial, anti-cancer, anti-anxiety activities, and also the protective effect on liver, heart, bones, etc.<ref>K.
