Geriatric Care (Rasayana for Elders)

Aging is a natural and inevitable process, but Ayurveda teaches us that it can be graceful, vibrant, and full of vitality when supported with the right therapies. At KAMALAM, our Geriatric Care Program is rooted in the ancient science of Rasayana Chikitsa—Ayurveda’s specialized branch of rejuvenation therapy.

What is Rasayana?

In Sanskrit, Rasa means essence and Ayana means path—together, Rasayana translates to “the path of essence.” It is a powerful Ayurvedic therapy that:

  • Rejuvenates body tissues (Dhatus)

  • Enhances immunity (Ojas)

  • Slows down the aging process

  • Improves memory, energy, and overall well-being

Rasayana therapy is especially beneficial for elderly individuals, as it focuses on restoring strength, vitality, cognitive clarity, and mobility—which naturally decline with age.

Key Components of Geriatric Care at KAMALAM

1. Rejuvenation (Rasayana Chikitsa)

  • Herbal formulations like Chyawanprash, Ashwagandha Rasayana, and Brahma Rasayana are administered to restore energy, vitality, and immunity.

  • Tailored dietary and lifestyle guidance to promote longevity and metabolic balance.

  • Abhyanga (therapeutic oil massage) with medicated oils strengthens the nervous system and improves circulation.

  • Shirodhara (streaming of medicated oil on the forehead) calms the mind, reduces stress, and balances Vata dosha (which governs aging).

2. Memory Enhancement (Medhya Rasayana)

As cognitive function may decline with age, our memory-enhancing therapies focus on:

  • Use of Medhya herbs like Brahmi, Mandukaparni, Shankhpushpi, and Vacha, which enhance memory, clarity, and mental focus.

  • Nasya therapy (nasal administration of medicated oils like Brahmi Ghritham or Anu Taila) to nourish brain tissues and strengthen sensory organs.

  • Meditation, pranayama (breathwork), and mantra chanting to improve mental calmness and neuroplasticity.

3. Bone & Muscle Support

Aging often leads to conditions like osteoporosis, arthritis, sarcopenia (muscle wasting), and joint stiffness. Our treatment focuses on:

  • Internal medications like Laksha Guggulu, Shallaki, and Dashamoola preparations to reduce inflammation and support bone density.

  • Basti therapy (medicated enemas) to pacify aggravated Vata—essential for bone and joint health.

  • Kati Basti, Janu Basti, and Pizhichil therapies to nourish muscles and lubricate joints.

  • Personalized yoga and physiotherapy support to enhance mobility and strength.
