Brief Summary  
This project targets the geriatric age group and intends to assess the effect of Rasayana on the process of ageing. The outcome measures taken before, during, and at the conclusion of an intervention could be used to estimate how the approach/ intervention might change the rate of age-dependent deterioration in system integrity.
It will provide leads in curbing deterioration in the physical activity, social outlook and cognitive functions of the geriatric population. This is an exploratory study and the selected ayurveda regimen will be implemented in community first time.

The study will be carried out in apparently healthy elderly of age 60 years or more after obtaining their consent. The screening will be carried out based on the inclusion criteria in the community of  Ballabhgarh District of  Haryana.
The enrolled participants will be administered the treatment modality for a run-in period of three months following which they will be divided into responders and non-responders. Only responders will be recruited for the actual interventional study

Study Type- Series of N of 1 responder restricted design.

Purpose-Impact assessment on quality of life in geriatric population.
