Abstract:
In India, a variety of endemic communicable illnesses represent a significant threat to public health. Both the epidemiology and the demographic landscape of India are changing. Life expectancy has grown, which has led to an increase in aging-related degenerative diseases and unhealthy lifestyles. However, communicable diseases continue to be prevalent and create serious problems for public health. Communicable diseases have turned into a severe threat to the society in our developing country because of the low socioeconomic standard, inadequate hygienic circumstances, and population explosion. When managing such a disorder where immunity and infections are key factors, Rasayana treatment is especially beneficial. According to Ayurved principles, a person's immunity can be increased by using a proper diet, lifestyle, and use of Rasayana. In reality, Rasayana is what intensifies each Dhatu's essence beginning with Rasa. Taking Rasayana can help a person's immunity grow, protecting him from contagious infections. They come in two varieties: Urjaskara (which boosts general immunity) and Roganuta (used in specific disease conditions). Numerous Rasayanas, such as Shilajatu Rasayana for Prameha, Lauha in Pandu, Amalaki, Haridra, Chyavanprash, etc., are used to boost immunity and treat illnesses.
