As well as having the three doshas which form our individual constitution, which governs the mind and body, there are also gunas; rajas, tamas and sattva which govern our mode of existence.
Rasayana translates into rejuvenation. It may be used on a healthy person or one suffering from disease. It is used to restore/maintain youth, vigour and immunity.
