Ageing is a natural biological process brought on by damage to numerous organs and systems both intrinsically and extrinsically. The beginning of old age is unknown, because a person's "biological age" and "chronological age" are two different things. Because of the world's rapidly ageing population, which includes India, geriatrics is becoming increasingly difficult. The difficulties associated with ageing and illnesses that affect the elderly are the only focus of medical study today [1]. In essence, we can called ayurveda as the science of long duration of individual life. It states that ageing (jara), along with kshudha, pipasa, mrityu, nidra, etc., is a result of kala or parinama and is discussed under "Svabhavabalapravritta vyadhi"[2]. In the Ayurvedic system of Indian medicine, the rejuvenating and preventative therapy known as Rasayana therapy which deals with increasing overall physiological immunity in order to prevent, cure and improve the condition of geriatric illnesses by improving overall body immunity, fending off infections and antigens, and avoiding carcinogenic mutations [3]. Ayurvedic Formulary of India specifically mentions a specific polyherbal remedy called Triphala for its beneficial effects in geriatric diseases. Triphala is a type of medicine which obtained from the fruits of three distinct plants i.e. Terminalia chebula, Terminalia bellirica, and Emblica officinalis in same proportions (1:1:1). In addition to its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antimutagenic properties, it also has tannins, phenols, and glycosides, which are what give it its strong antioxidant activity. Due to these qualities, Triphala is a successful treatment for geriatric degenerative disorders [4].
