Intensive Rasayana Program at Lancaster
Ayurveda is a science for living one's full potential and extreme longevity. Accordingly, there are programs for completely healthy people (or those who have only minor health problems) who want to achieve a state of health beyond the usual concept of good health. These unique programs refine one's mental powers, one's athletic prowess, one's meditation practices and spiritual faculties, and to create invincibility to disease.
The purpose of these programs is to prepare the individual and support her during an extended period of consumption of high doses of rasayanas, herbal preparations that bring the human physiology to the ultimate degree of perfection. Please see the two related articles in this section:

The word rasayana in Sanskrit means "that which enters into the rasa." and rasa is understood as the essence, the primordial tissue which both nourishes and gives rise to all other tissues. Rasayanas have their most important action on the dhatus, the deep tissues in the body which are responsible for endurance and clarity of mental functioning.
Rasayanas are rejuvenating agents. They nourish mind and body, and bring about a wide range of practical benefits that have been described in the ancient treatises and documented by our experience at Lancaster. These descriptions include:
- Reversal of aging
- Vitality
- Strength of sexual and reproductive functioning
- Improvement of memory
- Clarity of one's purpose in life
- Ability to spontaneously to live in accord with natural law
- Accelerated recovery from mental and physical disorders
- Brilliance and luster of complexion
- Improved mood and elimination of depression, fatigue and drowsiness
- Brilliance of voice
- Strengthening of the immune system
- Experience of Bliss
- Maximizing creativity, concentration, and intellect
- Clarity of spiritual experience
The Rasayana Program at Lancaster begins with a consultation with Jay L. Glaser, MD. Often a dietary change and herbal recommendations are made for several weeks. The program can be enhanced through an in-residence purification program, which our Lancaster staff can arrange for you at a center offering Ayurvedic panchakarma treatments.
