According to Ayurveda, the life is conglomeration of four factors namely shareera (the body made up of five Mahabhootas), indriya (the sensory faculty), sattva or mana (mind) and atma (the soul). On this basis, disease is also studied at different levels. Therefore, the treatment also is performed at different levels. After initial treatment for relief, Ayurveda describes prayoga (long term treatment for complete cure) and apunarbhava chikitsa (treatment which prevents recurrence of the disease) to maintain and promote health, rasayana is given.
