Rasayana is one among Ashtang Ayurveda. Rasayana, though concerned primarily with improving the health status, it is also used for curative purposes. Acharya Dalhana has mentioned Ajasrika Rasayana under which Rasayana can be taken in the form of Ahara. So a Pre-clinical study was planned to study the role of Ahara as Rasayana in maintenance of health. Volunteers fulfilling the pre-determined inclusion and exclusion parameters were included as part of study. The sample was determined through means of random selection from the population living in and around the city of Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India, consisting of 501 individuals of either gender of the age composition between 18 to 40 years. The results had been obtained by Personal Interviews. The Rasayana assessment criteria consisted of Deha-Bala, Indriya -Bala and Aarogya as mentioned in Ayurvedic texts. The observed average seemed to be very near to the expected average. The results reveal that volunteers taking best Ahara responded positively to the effects of Rasayana.
