ABSTRACT
Jarachikitsa is the branch of Ashtang Ayurveda which is concerned with the treatment of various Jara vyadhi and care of the old-age people. It deals with the anti-ageing care and on the other hand it provides the management for the age related disorders. According to the report of United Nations, it is estimated that share of old age people (60 years of age) in India’s population is estimated to rise by twenty percent in 2050. Such high number suggest us to develop new strategies to deal with the geriatric disorders. Vriddha vastha is the last stage of a life span characterised by the physical and mental degeneration. Jara vyadhi occur due to the deteriorating changes in cellular and tissue structures such as cardiovascular disorders, liver disorder, respiratory disorders etc. Ayurveda provides great management for the ageing related problems through Rasayana and Panchakarma therapy. Panchakarma is the therapy of purification procedures which help in the normal functioning of the body by removing various toxic materials and stagnant Doshas out of the body.
