ABSTRACT Ayurveda, the oldest science of life proves its integrity in all aspects. In last two decades, people are majorly getting affected by Akalaja Jara i.e. premature ageing. The symptoms which are used to be seen in sixties of the person are getting justin their thirties and forties. Ageing is an inevitable process with various aspects. No one can escape from this natural process in the body. When biological ageing is faster than chronological ageing then one can suffer from Akalaja Jara, Ayurveda defined Jara as the process of getting old by degenerative of Dhatu (changes of body tissues and organs.) Jara is mainly defined into two types i. Kalaj Jara and Akalaja Jara. In Ayurveda, Acharya has clearly mentioned the decade wise ageing process. For prevention of Akalaja Jara, Swasthavritta offers us Dincharya, Ritucharya, Sadvritta and Rasayana Chikitsa in very detailed form. We can definitely slow down the process by acquiring these regimens, The preventive aspect of this irreversible process of ageing has been elaborated in this article. Keywords: Akalaja Jara, Dincharya, Ritucharya, Rasayana, Sadvritta. INTRODUCTION ‘Growing old is a process occurs in every human being, It is a natural process occurs by changes in various systems in the body. In recent years, life expectancy has increased which shows significant increase in the number of elderly population. Now a days this ageing process is getting faster. Many environmental causes are responsible for this. Mainly chemicals, fertilizers, ammonium compounds, are commonly used in food and milk industry which decrease the quality of food. These all chemicals increase the toxins in the body and increase the rate of premature ageing. While running in the race of gaining luxurious life man losing his mental health and stress level is increasing tremendously. Stress is one of the major reason for premature ageing. These all factors are responsible for symptoms like wrinkles, greying of hair, baldness, depression etc. While explaining process of ageing occurs in living organism various scientist gives many theories. Johan Bjorksten suggests that an accumulation of cross-linked proteins damage cells and tissues, slowing down processes and results in ageing.""! Another one is free radicle theory postulated by Denham Harman, he stated that molecules with free electrons react with healthy molecule in a destructive way which causes ageing. Rate of living theory tells us that duration of life of an organism dependent upon the exhaustion of a fixed quantity of a vital substance at a rate proportional to the metabolic rate.{#1 But no one is able to give satisfactory theory for it. Ayurveda is divided into eight branches and Jarachikitsa is one of them. 1 Jara means a process in which body elements get degenerate continuously. Jara is divided into Kaalaj Jara (natural ageing) and Akalaj Jara (premature ageing). Acharya Charaka has explained Kalaj Jara as a Swabhavik Roga.!4 , Akalaj Jara is nothing but the condition in which you look older than your actual age. ‘Swasthavritta mainly focuses on prevention of diseases i.e. !"swasthyasya swasthya rakshanam.” ‘The person who follows rules of Swasthvritta acquires good physical and mental health, complexion, compact body, luster, happiness, longevity and disease free state. If we able to prevent Hemus, then we can easily control the health of a person. Swasthavritta offers the ideal lifestyle which we should follow according to day i.e. Dincharya, according to night i.e. Ratricharya and according to season i.e. Rutucharya. In Ayurveda, Acharya told three types of etiological factors responsible for it as Ahartmak Hetu, Viharatmak Hetu and Mansik Hetu. By following proper Dincharya, Rutucharyaand Sadvritta we can counter these Hetus and able to prevent Akalaj Jara. Figure no. 1 showing Hetu and preventive aspect Hetu Aaharaj Viharaj Mansik 7 7 ¥ ; Prvention Prevention by ee by" Sadvritta palan and Ritucharyay Dincharya ‘Achar Rasayana OBJECTIVE . To discuss, appraise and elaborate various preventive aspects of Akalaja Jara mentioned in © Sambitas. MATERIALS AND METHOD Literature regarding Jara, Akalaja Jara and its preventive measures was collected from various Samhitas like Bruhatrayi, compendium textbooks and standard online database. Correlation between effect of various regimens and its preventive effect on Akalaja Jara was found and try to elaborate. DISCUSSION Causative factors for premature ageing Table no: 1 showing Hetu of premature ageing according to various Acharyas Acharya Factors Charak Aaharaj := Amia (sour), Lavana (saline), Katu (pungent), Kshara (alkaline), . Shushkashaka and Mamsa, Tila and Pishtannabhojan, Virudhha, Navashuka and Shamidhanya (germinated or fresh monocots and dicots), Virudhha, 6 Asatmyabhojana; Klinna (decomposed), Guru (heavy), Putiparyushitabhojana (putrefied and stale food items), Vishamashana (indulging in irregular diet or eating when the previous food is undigested), Ayathagniabhyavaharana (eating in excess than one's own digestive power), Viharaj := Divaswapna, Ativyavaya, Atimadyapana, performing irregular and excessive exercise, Vishamasharcerasana (irregular posture of the body), Atimaithuna (excessive indulgence in sexual activity) Asatsamshraya (association with wicked persons), Udirnavegavinigraha (Non suppression of suppressible urges) Vegavidharana (suppression of natural urges) Mansik:- Bhaya (fear), Krodha (anger), Shoka (grief), Lobha, Moha, Ayathabalarambha (over strain),Sushrut Mansik :- Krodha, Shoka, Shram Vagbhat Aaharaj:- intake of Amla rasa Rasaratna samuchchaya'" | Atisheeta sevana (Excessive cold intake), Kadanna sevana (Unwholesome food) Viharaj:- Pathanamatigamana (Excess walking), Vruddhoanganasatatasanga (Excessive indulgence in sex with elderly woman.)__ Mansik :- Manapratitula i.e, Mental stress. Process of Akalaja Jara (early ageing) All the causative factors mentioned above mainly affect the Jatharagni. When Jatharagni is affected, food does not get digested properly, as a result Aahar Rasa will not form properly. Due to Vikrut Aahar Rasa Dhatvagni is also get disturbed and results into disturbed Dhatu formation i.e. Vikrut Rasa, Rakta, Mansa etc. furthermore Dhatus form Vikrut Updhatus. As a result, Mans Dhatu unable to produce Prakrit Updhatu of Mans ie, Vasa and Shat Twacha and Rasa Dhatu is also unable to nourish Twaka. Mainly disturbance in equilibrium of Tridosha occurs. Degeneration of musculature takes place. It disturbs the functioning Shleshaka Kapha which disturbs Asthi and Sandhi. As a result, deficient filling of bone marrow occurs. Vikrut Dhatwagni produces less Shukra Dhatu and Ojas which is Sarabhaga of all Dhatus is also gets vitiated and it ultimately hampers ‘one’s immunity and many diseases occurs at young age." Figure no: 2 showing process of ageing Hetu Sewana Distarbes Yatharagn Formation of Vikrit Aahar Rasa Dhatvagni get disturbed Vikrut Dhatu and Updhatu formation Mansa Dhatu unable to form Prakrit Twak (as Updhatu) ——> Lakshana like Vali Rasa Dhatu unable to nourish Twak Meda Dhatu become liquified and abundant ——* Mansa Shaithilya Dosha also fe Vitiateda ‘eat Sit Shleshak kapha disturbs the functioning of — reser filling Asthi and Sandhi ‘marrow Vilerut Shukra Dhatu unable to form semen properly. —» Shukra Apravrtanam Sar Bhaga of Dhatu also get vitiated i.e. Qja = —— Ojakshaya ' It produces symptoms like lack of enthusiasm = ——?

Sharirik :- vali (wrinkles) € Palitya (premature greying of hait) Khalitya (hair loss) Mamsa shaithilya (muscle weakness) (Shukra apravartanam Ojakshaya Analpameda (debilitated) Mansik :- Smritihani (loss of memory) ‘Medhahani (decreased intellectual functions) Buddhihani (detoriated wisdom) Utsahhani (loss of enthusiasm) Nairashya and Avasannata (depression) Management of Akalaja Jara The very powerful potential of prevention of diseases has unly been discovered by Ayurvedic Acharyas. Though ageing is a progressive and irreversible process, we can still slow down this Process. To avoid pre mature ageing Swasthavritta plays very important role. Mainly Dinacharya, Rutucharya, Sadvritta Palan and Rasayan Chikitsa give magnificent results. € Dinacharya 1) Bramhamuhurt Jagaran'") It is a time between respiration and photosynthesis in plants. There is abundant oxygen present naturally which enhances the process of binding of oxygen to hemoglobin. It easily reaches to distant tissues and helps to increase immunity which ultimately helps to keep away diseases. As itis a apana kala, it enhances the natural urges of the body and stool is evacuated easily. This helps to keep digestive system healthy and maintain equilibrium of the dhatus Probable mode of action :- If we wake up at bramhamuhurta the melatonin which is secreated by pineal gland is absent or low as compared to day time in the body. It helps us to concentrate more and keep our mind calm and stable, This helps us to maintain our memory, intellect, wisdom in good state. Hypothalamus secretes cortisol from adrenal cortex which is also called as fright and flight hormone under the influence of ACTH, Plasma level of cortisol helps us to fight against stress and trauma. The ACTH get secreted more in morning hours as compared to evening, So by waking at bramhamuhurta we can able to fight against3) 4a 5) Stress and it helps to prevent premature ageing,2] Dant dhavanal"™ Brushing teeth with Katu, Tikta and Prevent oral disease and keeps your like breaking, decaying, loosing of t. by Dantdhavana, Probable mode of action:- Now a days we use Madhur Rasatmak toothpaste for better taste, Butt secretes unnecessary hormones like insulin which proves harmful. These hormones ‘Msrease the brain degeneration which cause premature ageing, Dant Dhavana with Kat, Tikta, Kashaya rasa cleans the oral cavity and its astringency tightens the gums and prevents loosening of teeth which ultimately slow down teeth related ageing process. Tikta and Kashaya Rasa enhances the secretions of salivary gland more as compare to madhur rasa, a helps to remove toxic substances like plaque etc. and good health of teeth can be achieved. Kashaya Rasa mainly act on Kapha Dosha. Ithelps to teeth & gums strong. Several dental and gums problems teeth which generally occur in old age can be prevented Anjana By doing Souviranjana Anjana which is used daily we can prevent eye and vision related Sisorders. Presbyopia, glaucoma and other diseases which generally occur in old age can be Prevented by doing Anjana, Now a day's computer and screen use has been tremendously Increased. Excess use of blue light used in a screen is very dangerous to eye health, This blue light. As a result, people are facing vision problems at very early age. If we do Anjana on regular basis we can prevent these problems and can delay the process of ageing related to eyes. Probable mode of action:- Anjana mostly contains arsenic and bismuth compounds, These compounds have large molecular size which makes it unable to cross blood brain barrier when administered orally. In Anjana we increase the bioavailability of these compounds and ccan increase tissue contact time. We can get desired medicinal results of arsenic and bismuth compounds on anxiety, depression, insomnia, obsessive compulsive disorder eté, Thus it will be helpful to slow down premature ageing process. "| Anjana is also useful in nasolacrimal duct blockage. In Anjana Karma most of the particles in the drugs are excreted by nasolacrimal duct and helps to clear blockages in the duct. Nasya Daily Nasya which we can practice is Pratimarsha Nasya. Generally, Anu Tail is used for Pratimarshya Nasya. Nasya mainly acts on Vata Dosha which is the main reason for many diseases, Main symptoms of Akalaj Jara i.e. Khalitya and Palitya are mainly prevented by Nasya Karma. Probable mode of action:-While doing Nasya we directly come in relation with olfactory nerve which is very close to the brain as compared to other cranial nerves. This olfactory nerve gives us direct access to limbic system. So by administration of drug through nose, we can stimulate higher centers of brain which regulate secretions of endocrine and nervous systems, Therefore, by doing Nasya we can regulate hormone secretions, emotional and behavioral pattern, body temperature, circadian rhythm which helps us to prevent Akalaja Jaral!®) Gandusha and Kawala Gandusha is mainly done by Sncha Dravyas. All Vata Vikaras of Mukha are prevented by Gandusha. Symptoms which may lead to look you older like cracked lips, swarbheda are all prevented by doing Gandusha.9 0 g 9 Kavala is mainly used in Kaphaja Vikaras, Aruchi, Daorgandha, Mukhavairasya can be prevented by Kawala, , i Probable mode of action:- Gandusha and Kawala increases the mechanical pressure inside the oral cavity and send signals to salivary nuclei in the brain stem. PNS increased salivary secretions by means of facial and glossopharyngeal nerve and toxins, food debris in mouth removed out and helps us to maintain oral hygiene. It also increases vascular permeability and helps to maintain pH! Dhoompana As a preventive aspect we can use Prayogik Dhoompana on daily basis. It mainly acts on diseases of head and neck area. Shirogourava (heaviness of head), Shirahshoola (head ache), Kasa, Shwasha, Karna Strava (ear discharge), Nasa Strava (nasal discharge), Netra Strava (eye discharge) are treated and can be prevented by Dhoompana. Probable mode of action:- In Dhompana we use to convert drug in gaseous form and then ' administer in the body. This increases the bioavailability of the drug. The gases get absorbed in the blood and reach to every part of head region. !"7| This increases brain functions and helps to delay ageing process. e Abhyanga Abhyanga helps to strengthen body, pacify Vata, relieves tiredness and repair tissues. In symptoms like Khalitya, Palitya, Smurtihani and Budhhihani, Shiroabhyanga gives remarkable results. It also improves sleep and nourishes skin which helps in reducing symptoms like Vali and Pali. In Ashtang Sangraha, Acharya told Abhyanga as a Twachashya Paramabhyango’ which means for any skin related disorder Abhyanga is the best.l'5} Another shloka states that Abhyanga is ‘Jarashrama Vataha’ ie. it helps in delaying ageing. That is why Abhyanga is the best preventive measure in Akalaka Jara. Probable mode of action:- Abhyanga produces energy in fatigued muscles by means of increasing peripheral circulation which cause vasodilation and provides more oxygen to the ‘muscle. It activates PNS and slows down heart rate, breathing and helps to improve digestion. These gives soothing effect to nervous system and endocrine system and release the load on brain and helps us slow down the process of ageing. Udwartan When we use powdered form of drugs to massage the body then we call it as a Udhwartana. It € mainly acts on Kapha Dosha and acts as Kaphahara. \t is ‘Twakprasadkaram Param’. helps to open up the skin pores and improves complexion which helps you to fight against symptoms of premature ageing, Probable mode of action;- The mode of action of Udwartana is almost same as Abhyanga. In additionally it acts on adipose tissue and enhance assimilation of fat. This helps to decrease subcutaneous fat deposition and improves lymphatic circulation. It prevents Lakshanas like Analpameda and Mansshaithilya and slow down ageing process.""*! Vyayam The action which produce tiredness in the body is called as Vyayam. If we do Vyayama daily, it enhances digestive fire, sweating and also causes Dasha Kshaya Which helps to maintain equilibrium, It also helps in reducing excess fat. Immunity is also get increased by doing Vyayam on daily basis which keeps a man healthy. Probable mode of action:- Yyayama reduces the ageing by modulation of sympathetic activity, increasing skeletal muscle mitochondrial content and protein synthesis "9H" Daily exercise have been proven for delaying symptoms like dementia, depression and other mooddisorder. 10) Snana ae helps to keep body clean. It keeps away bad odour, itching, impurities etc. Acharya Said that Snana is “Param Ojaskar’. Immunity is also depends upon Oja so by doing Snana we can boost our immunity, Probable mode of action:- Snana produces hyper thermic reaction in the body which increases temperature. Because of increased temperature heat sensitive neurons get excited and cold sensitive neurons get inhibited in hypothalamus. This causes stimulation of Parasympathetic nerves and leads to perspiration which decreases body temperature. Automatically peripheral p02 will increase which will stimulate metabolism, induce elimination of toxins and waste material and refresh body.!22) 11) Padatrandharan, Acharya Sushruta, specially mentioned that daily use of Padatrana acts as Vrushya, Ojasam and Chakshushya. It helps to maintain virility, vision and immunity and delays ageing process.) 12) Chatradharan This also helps to maintain complexion, vision and Qjas. This protects us from excess heat, direct contact to sunlight, rain, wind ete, and ultimately protects our skin, and helps to maintain its nourishment. Ratricharya Aahara = Acharya said that food must be consumed in less quantity (compare to aftemoon) and in first Prahara of the night ic. first three hours of the night.5 It helps to digest the food easily. Aahara must be of Laghu Gunas. Vihar :- Acharya said to practice Nasya in Sayamkala for Vata predominance Vyakti. Ithelps to Vali and Palita ie. wrinkles and greying of hairs. 7 Charakacharya said to perform Rasanjana once in five or eight days at night. It helps for lacrimation and keep eyes and vision healthy. Maithuna is also included in Ratricharya and it has a great impact in Akalaja Jara. That is why Acharya gives specific time to perform sexual intercourse. Otherwise it effects on Shukra Dhatu & (Ojas and produces various diseases like Karshya, Pandu which causes premature ageing. According to Yogratnakara one should have intercourse once in the three days. Except in Grishma Ritu. By following this we can save shukra dhatu, maintain Ojas and stay healthy. With busy working schedule, late night party trends, night shifts, people are sleeping late and waking up late in the morning. It disturbs the circadian cycle completely. These circadian rhythms are coordinated by supra chiasmatic nucleus (SCN), located in hypothalamus, Hypothalamus secrets melatonin naturally at night time and we use to sleep. But in disturbed circadian rhythm melatonin level in the body increases and produce symptoms like sleepiness, lethargy, less of enthusiasm, These symptoms enhance the process of ageing and people suffer from premature ageing. By following proper ratricharya we can able to slow down the process of ageing. Ritucharya In Akalaja Jara, Ritucharya also plays a very important role, If you do not follow the proper Ahara, Viharas as told by Acharyas then you can definitely suffer from premature ageing. Ritucharya mainly divided into 2 parts. One is Aadan Kala and another is Visarga Kala. "| Aadana Kala is comprises of three Ritus i.e. Shishira, Vasanta and Grishma, Visarga Kala is comprises of another three Ritus ie. Varsha, Sharad and Hemanta. Aadana Kala starts from late winter. Tikta, Katu anding like Vali is is pet absorbed, symptoms of ageing Ii as ia ike Khalitya, Palitya. Long day Kashaya Ras are mainly dominant. ! As moisture : hed. So to keep body cool and moist increases. Tikta, Katu, Kashaya Rasa helps to aggregate symp exhaust you completly. Strength ofthe body is aso get diminished. Sofa Hise Be one must eat sheet and Snigdha Bhojana, Practice Diwaswap in Grishma RI BAS body strength, Eat Madhur aand Amla Rasatmak Ahara. By doing this ii ithelps to delay ageing. Dosha and Dhatu in equilibrium state and it helps to ost Moabur Visarga kala starts from Varsha Ritu. Moon is more powerful than sun. Amla, Lavan ai 1 is increase: jore Rasas are predominant respectively.'"*! Snigdha Guna in the body Poe a gives brash Guna strength to the body. Hansodaka is also mentioned in a sharad ritu. It has Lag) which helps to prevent the body from heat of Sharad Ritu and also counter the Hetw of Pitta Prapoka. Table no. 2 showing Doshas Sanchaya, Prakopa and shaman with respect to Ritul?™ f Doshas ‘Sanchay Prakopa ‘Shaman Vata Grishma Varsha Sharad Pitta Varsha Sharad ‘Hemant Kapha Shishir Hemant. Grishma Sanchaya, Prakopa and Prashama of the Doshas have close relation with Ritu. By following proper Ritucharya we can able to maintain equilibrium of the Doshas. Acharya explains Aahara, Vihara according to Ritu which helps us to prevent diseases in Sanchaya Awastha only. When we shift from one Ritu to another, Doshas also changes their state. To inhibit this process there is a Ritusandhi period (inter seasonal period) ie. last seven days of pervious Ritu and early seven days of upcoming Ritu.!"" In this period, regimen of the previous preceding Ritu should be discontinued gradually and succeeding Ritu should be gradually adapted. Sudden adaption and sudden discontinuation can cause disease and decrease your immunity. Hence, Ritucharya and all the regimens told under these are must be followed for slow down the ageing process. Ageing is not a process which is limited only upto the Sharirik level. Mansik Bhavas are also responsible for Swasthva, These Dincharya, Ratricharya and Ritucharya prevent us from Sharirik ageing. But to prevent Mansik ageing we must have to follow Sadvritta and Achar Rasayana which will ultimately lead to complete health. Sadvritta Good regimen which should be followed ideally is known as Sadvritta. The conducts which promote your health and keep mind healthy are come under Sadvritia Palana. It promotes you towards Sattvik life, Sadvritta further divided into Vyayaktik Sadvritta, social Sadvritia, Mansik Sadvritta, Dharmik Sadvritta and Sharirik Sadvritta, For prevention from Akalaja Jara following Sadvritta Palana helps you most,221 ~ By keeping body clean with cutting nails, frequent hand wash, wearing good clothes, applying oil to head, ears, nostrils and feet we can prevent the entry of foreign particles into the body. ~ Never lie, don’t hate someone, threatening others, making fun of others, must be avoided. These help you to keep your mind healthy and prevent you from bad thoughts, ~ One must follow the rule of public etiquette, Don't laugh loudly, sit properly, avoid yawning, ing, nail biting etc, these help you to maintain your immunity strong and help you to maintain equilibrium of Dashas. ~ Food must be eaten in a clean and hygienic place. Don't talk or laugh while eating, Use clean clothes while eating this prevent the infection source, Always have fresh food. Preter [rite and vegetables, this helps to maintain Sattvik Guna and keep Agni in good condition, ~ Never insult a woman. Do not get indulge in sex with many women, do not sex with older‘Rasayana women, This prevents your Shukra Dhatu and helps to maintain Qjas. Akalaja Jara gets prevented by doing this, While describing importance of Sadvritta, Acharya Charaka said that one who follows description of five sense organs, mind, four etiological factors and good conducts for healthy body and positive mind will definitely live hundreds of years. 3) Ayurveda has separate disciplines called as Rasayana Tantra, It helps to delay ageing process. Rasa ‘means Dhatu and Ayana means movement. According to Shabda Kalpa Drum, which helps the Dhatu to reach their destination is called as Rasayanas. While defining Rasayana Acharya Charaka said that ‘Labhopayohishastanamrasadinamrasayanam' which means the way by which Rasadi ‘Sapta Dhatu get proper nourishment in all ways. "41 In Bhavprakash, it is mentioned that therapy ‘which stops and prevent the ageing and at the same time cures disease is called as Rasayana. In Harit Samhita, Acharya explained that the process which strengthens the body, organs, teeth and prevent Vali (wrinkling skin), Palit (whitening hait), Khalitya(loss of hair) is known as Rasayana.*" _ Fromall the above Niruktis and definations we get that to prevent ageing, Rasayana plays a major (Pte. Rasayana mainly defines into two parts. First one is Achara Rasyana which explains that which person able to take actual Rasayana therapy and other is Rasyana therapy. Just by following Achara Rasayana we can get the actual benefits of Rasayana therapy. As everyone is not able to take Rasayana therapy so by foll therapy. Achara Rasayana includes some conducts which speak truth, get free from anger, smoothly, practice Japa, respect eld well-being. It will give you a benefits of rejuvenation therapy. 0 ‘Acharya Sharangdhara and Vagbhata already mentioned the expected loss of Dhatu according to age. Rasayana are also explained according to age. By taking these Rasayana according to age we can definitely prevent and able to slow down the process of Akalaja Jara. lowing Achara Rasayana we prepare ourselves for actual Rasayana should be practiced. They are as, always don’t drink alcohol, don’t get indulged in sex & viol ce, talk lers etc. These help you to maintain mental, spiritual and social ‘Table no:3 Showing loss of impact according to decades and Rasayana used for it Decades of life ‘Loss of impact Loss of impact Desirable rasayan ‘Sharangdhar Asthang sangraha é Samhita?” 1-10 Balyam Balyam Vacha, Swarna 11-20 Vridhhi Vridhhi_ Kashmari, Bala 21-30, Chavi_ Prabha Amalaki, Lauha 31-40 Medha Medha ‘Shankhapushpi 41-50 Twaka Twaka Jvotishmati 31-60 Drishri ‘Shukra Jyotishmati 61-70 ‘Shukra Drishri ‘Atmagupta, Ashwagandha 71-80 Vikram ‘Shrotendriva ‘Amalaki, Bala 81-90 Budhhi ‘Mana Bramhi 91-100 ‘Karmendriya ‘Sarvendriva Bala Rasayan Rasayana therapy mainly divided into three types on the basis of its utility. 1)Kamya Rasayana:- when person desires health, luster, intellect by using Kamya Rasyana we can able to fulfill ones desire.

Ajasrika C.Aachar Rasayana Rasayana Rasayana drugs mainly act on Rasadi Sapta Dhatu, Agni and Strotas. These are the main Samprapti Ghatak in any Vadhi. If these three are in Prakrut Avastha then there is no possibility of any disease will occur. In recent era cosmetics are very commonly used in every age group of people. These cosmetics are made from very harmful chemicals. They are mainly made up of lead compounds. When we apply these cosmetics on skin they get absorbed in skin and cause very harmful effects. Increasing, symptoms like Vali, Palitya and Khalitya are mainly occur due to these harmful chemicals used in soaps, shampoos, powders, hair oils, nail paints, lipsticks etc. Though beauty is the desire of every human being now a days artificial beauty products decreasing the natural beauty as well as push the ‘man into pre mature ageing process. By using Ayurvedic preparations for beauty purpose like, Kantivardhak Yoga (complexion promoter), Gatra Daurgandhyahara Yoga (body deodorant), Ostha Lepa (cosmetics for lips), Kakshavasa (armpit deodorant), Darunakahara Yoga (anti-dandruft preparations) we can reduce the side effects caused by chemical cosmetic products and slow down ageing. CONCLUSION Jara is an irreversible process occurs in every living being. Though rate of premature ageing is increasing day by day. Ayurveda provides us the solutions in the form of Dinacharya, Rutucharya, Sadvritta, Achara Rasayana, and Rasayana therapy. Though we can not stop the process but we can definitely able to slow down it and stay away from premature ageing by following these daily andseasonal regimen with some code of conducts.
