Rasayana - Ayurvedic Herbs for Longevity and Rejuvenation (Hardcover)

Rasayana, one of the least understood disciplines of Ayurveda (the science of life), refers to remedies that can help treat physical and psycological disorders or augment the body's disease resistance capacity. Within ancient India, Rasayana preparations were originally sought to combat high death rates, partially attributable to the limite knowledge on the prevention and cure of diseases. Until relatively recently, much of the information on India's research into their medicinal plants has remained within India, mainly published within Indian journals. However, today the field of Ayurveda is expanding, with the integration of herbs and minerals discovered in other countries and the strengthening of academic knowledge networks worldwide.
This volume draws the readers' attention to detailed information on the plants used as such or in various polyherbal, polymineral Rasayana preparations and describes their therapeutic benefits for numerous disorders. It will be of interest to graduate students, scientists and researchers within academia and industry who are working in the various fields of medical sciences, as well as those interested in the use of Rasayana preparations for alternative and conventional medical use.
