subjectAbstract

Rujantiti Rogah¹ means which produces pain or difficulties to the body or mind is known as disease. Acharya Sushruta has classified the diseases into four types²- Disease due to immediate cause (Agantuja Vyadhi), Disease of body (Sharirika Vyadhi), Disease of mental faculty mind (Manasika Vyadhi), Natural disease (Swabhavika Vyadhi). Jara (Old age) is a Natural Disease which occurs due to Kala.³ Old age is an undesirable, inevitable phase of human life. The onset of sign and symptoms of aging is evident at the age of 60. The decline of each organ, system appears to occur independently of change in the other organ system and is influenced by diet, environment and personal habits as well as genetic factors. Ayurveda has its own concepts in description of ageing which are very much similar to modern science.
