'''<big>[[Chikitsa Sthana]] Chapter 1. The specialization of [[Rasayana]] (Rejuvenation therapy)</big>'''
<big>'''Abstract'''</big>
<div style="text-align:justify;">[[Rasayana]], the first chapter of the [[Chikitsa Sthana]] deals with one of the most important specialties of ''Ashtanga'' (eight branches)[[Ayurveda]], namely, ''Rasayana Tantra''. Rasayana means rejuvenation and anti-ageing therapies in [[Ayurveda]]. It also includes all measures for geriatric healthcare and immunity enhancement. [[Rasayana]] essentially denotes medicinal nutrition, rejuvenation, longevity, immune-enhancing and geriatric health care. The [[rasayana]] are not necessarily drugs. They may be in the form of a [[rasayana]] food, or a positive healthy life style with a [[rasayana]] effect or a [[rasayana]] drug or all the three together. The [[rasayana]] remedies promote good qualities of the cells and tissues of the body through improved nutrient effect, boosting the digestion, metabolism and/or augmenting the microcirculation and tissue perfusion. This chapter is divided in four ''padas'' (parts) dealing with different aspects of ''rasayana'' therapy.
The four ''padas'' are named as:
#''Abhayamalakiya Rasayana Pada''
#''Pranakamiya Rasayana Pada''
#''Karaprachitiya Rasayana Pada''
#''[[Ayurveda]] Samutthaniya Rasayana Pada''.
