In the Ayurvedic text books, rejuvenation has been termed as Rasayana.
A definition of Rasayana in Ayurveda is described as : "That which destroys the old age and disease and also revitalizes is called Rasayana."

That means by taking Rasayana you always remain healthy and young. But It does not mean that there is no death, It means that you will be energetic even when you are in your 80's or 90's and you are will be able to perform your normal duties and you don't have to depend on others. One branch of Ayurveda out of the eight branches deals only with Rasayana.

You can learn how to maintain a balance between material and spiritual aspects of life and help others also to understand it. This will help in establishing permanent peace, happiness and love for which we are always hankering for.
