Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Child immunity is a complex and dynamic system that develops from infancy to adolescence, undergoing several critical stages. Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, offers Rasayana drugs as a potential solution to boost immunity. Rasayana, which translates to "rejuvenation," refers to a group of medicinal formulations known for promoting health, longevity, and disease resistance. This article explores the significance of Rasayana drugs in improving child immunity and presents the comprehensive review of existing literature on their effectiveness. We also discuss various Rasayana formulations and their pharmacological properties. The Materials and Methods section outlines key studies analyzed, along with the methodologies employed to assess the immune-enhancing properties of Rasayana drugs in the pediatric populations.
