RESPONSIBILITY OF RASAYANA TREATMENT ON IMMUNOLOGICAL INSUFFICIENCY
Dr. Vikram Vir Bhushan*and Dr. Varun Sharma
ABSTRACT
Free radical oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a wide variety of clinical disorders, resulting usually from deficient natural antioxidant defenses. Potential antioxidant therapy should, therefore, include either natural free radical scavenging antioxidant enzymes or agents which are capable of augmenting the activity of these enzymes, which include SOD, CAT and GPX. If human disease is considered to result from an imbalance between oxidative stress and antioxidant defense, then it is conceivable that it may be possible to limit oxidative tissue damage and, hence, prevent or ameliorate disease progression, by supplementing antioxidant defence. By virtue of their properties and clinical use in Ayurveda, the Rasayana may provide potential therapeutic intervention against oxidative threats, both in health and disease.
