Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and life sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Many physiological as well as anatomical changes occur in an individual due to growing age. The physical and mental deterioration due to chronological advancing age makes a person old aged. The population of old age people is growing faster not only in India but throughout the world. The physiological and anatomical changes are inevitable but the medical health problems and diseases specially affecting an individual in old age need medical management in order to sustain a comfortable and healthy aging. Modern system of medicine is usually limited in geriatric health care by providing only medical management of the diseases of old age. On the contrary, Ayurveda the science of life and longevity presents both prevention as well as management of old age problems. The present topic intends to review concepts of Ayurveda regarding prevention and management of old age problems.
