HELLO, From an Ayurvedic standpoint, your father’s symptoms suggest involvement of -Smriti bhramsha (impairment of memory) -Buddhi bhramsha (disturbed intellect) -Kala dosha vibhrama (confusion of time and place) In advanced age, this is commonly associated with -vata predominance due to aging -gradual depletion of Ojas -weakening of nervous tissue -digestive and metabolic fire Rasayana therapy is traditionally indicated in such situation when used judiciouslyy WHAT IS RASAYANA RASA? Rasayana Rasa is a herbo mineral Ayurvedic formulation, typically aimed to -rejuvenation -supporting memory, intellect, and vitality -nourising nervous tissue -slowing degenerative changes Depending on the manufacturer and formulation, it may contain -processed mercury and sulfur -medhya herbs such as brahmi, shankhapushpi, vacha -supportive rasayanna herbs Classical rasayana rasa is not a daily health supplement, it is a therapeutic medicine meant to be used SAFETY IN ELDERS ABOVE 80 YEARS Generally considered safe If -prescribed by a qualified ayurvedic physician -given in low dose -administered for a limited duration -digestive strength should be good REQUIRES CAUTION BECAUSE -very elderly patients often have weaker digestion -herbo mineral medicine are heating and potent -accumulation or intolerance can occur if digestion is poor SINCE YOU MENTIONED -he tolerates medicines well -has moderate overall health -no prior adverse reactions ->This places him in a relatively safer category, but monitoring is essential POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS (when not properly suited) Though uncommon when properly prescribed, potential issues include -gastric irritation or acidity -reduced appetite -constipation or dryness -excess heat symptoms (burning sensation, restlessness) -rarely, heaviness or nausea if digestion is weak If any of these appear, the medicines should be paused immediately HOW RASAYANA RASA SHOULD IDEALLY BE GIVEN TO SENIORS General classical principles -very low dose -taken after food, never on empty stoamch -given with.a suitable Anupama such as –warm milk if digestion allows –ghee based vehicle -honey + ghee in specific cases Duration is usually short term, not continuous SUPPORTIVE MEASURES FOR MEMORY ISSUES For better results ans safety, rasayana rasa should be part of a broader approach , including DIET -warm, soft, easy to digest foods -use of ghee small quantity daily -avoid dry, cold, leftover, or very spicy foods LIFESTYLE -regular routine -adequate sleep -gentle exposure to sunlight -calm environment (Reduces Vata aggravation) -BRAHMI GHRITA= 1/2 tsp with warm milk at night -ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm milk twice daily NASYA= instil 2 drops of anu taila in each nostril daily morning empty stomach Yes, Rasayana rasa can be used safely in elders above 80 years, including those with memory issues DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Yes it can be used safely. Also some more extra tips 🧘‍♀️ Anulomvilom and Bhramari Pranayam will help. ❌ Donot get into any addictions. ❌ Donot drink tea or coffee or aerated drinks. ❌ Reduce screen time… No screen in darkness and 1 hour before sleep. Consume audio form of data rather than visuals before sleep. Filter the content of data you consume. ✔️ Drink a glass of buffalo milk daily before you sleep; it will help you get a sound sleep. ✔️ 100 steps after both meals are must. ✔️ Eat only home cooked food… Avoid outside food, packed and processed food. ✔️ Prefer natural liquids like fruit juice, coconut water, lemon juice, kokum sharbat over packed ones. 💊 Add Medication: 💊 Panchendriya Vardhan Tailam 2 drops in each nostril early in the morning empty stomach. Cap. Memorin(S.G.Phytopharma) 2 caps twice a day before food.

Hello It’s great you’re looking out for your dad’s health, especially since he’s in his 80s. It’s normal to be worried about new meds when memory and orientation get a bit shaky. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊 YOUR CONCERN: * Dad’s over 80. * He’s got memory issues and gets confused. * The Ayurveda doc prescribed Rasayana Rasa. * You want to be sure it’s safe and a good idea. Totally get it! AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING Memory loss in older people is sometimes called Smriti Bhramsha. It’s often because: * Brain tissues are getting weak. * Lower Ojas. * Vata is getting high because of age. * Not-so-great blood flow to the brain. Basically, Rasayana Rasa is an old-school brain tonic made for this time of life. Rasayana Rasa: Safe for Someone Over 80? Yes, if the dose is right and you keep an eye on things, it’s usually okay and helpful, even for older people They usually give it for old-age care. What It Does: Rasayana Rasa: * Helps memory and thinking. * Keeps blood moving in the brain. * Eases age-related problems. * Boosts clear thinking and alertness. * Aids long life and the immune system. It’s a slow but solid process. Possible Side effect Rare, but: * A little abdominal discomfort if he takes it without food. * Might feel a bit heavy if his digestion is off. That’s why he should always have it: * After eating, with warm water or milk. * If he usually handles meds okay, it’s likely he will have no issues. How to Take It: * Usually, 1 tablet, once or twice a day after food. * Don’t give him more. You’re doing great by asking questions. If a good Ayurvedic doc prescribed it, Rasayana Rasa is one of the better memory helpers out there for older people. Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
