Rasayana Chikilsa<br />
The c<strong>on</strong>cept <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Rasayana Chikilsa is believed to have originated<br />
from Vedic hymns which explain the guidelines for rejuvenati<strong>on</strong><br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> regenerati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> dhatus, l<strong>on</strong>gevity, mental well-being,<br />
immunity, eternal transformati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> healthy living.<br />
Rasa means essence <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> in this c<strong>on</strong>text it st<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g>s for the<br />
essence <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> food we c<strong>on</strong>sume. Ayana or channels carry out the<br />
functi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> transporting this essence. The proper functi<strong>on</strong>ing <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
ayanas is necessary to adequately nourish our body.
