Dr. Prachi Amod Tembhurnikar* and Dr. Arun U. Bhatkar

Abstract

Acharya Charaka has laid down the unique concept of Achara Rasayana which is the code of conduct which provides good mental, physical, social and spiritual health to the person who regularly follows it. While explaining about it, Acharya Charaka said that person consuming the Rasayana has to follow regimens explained under Achara Rasayana to get all the desired benefits of Rasayana. The modalities under Achara Rasayana helps increasing the Yuktikrut Bala. It all together acts by improving the Agni(digestive fire), cleansing the Strotas(channels), creating the highest qualities of Dhatus, and thus by creating the purest quality of Ojas. Since Bala, Prakruti, Kapha are synonyms of Ojas, which is responsible for maintaining mental, physical, spiritual strength and thus the immunity.

Keywords: Achara Rasayana, Bala, Ojas.
