Abstract
As the population ages, the importance of maintaining health and well-being in old age becomes increasingly paramount. Aging often brings about cognitive decline and conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, which are marked by memory loss, confusion, and impaired judgment. Contributing factors include isolation, loss of loved ones, and chronic health issues. Ayurveda addresses these challenges by focusing on balancing doshas, rejuvenating body and mind, and integrating dietary, lifestyle, and herbal interventions. Such an approach, combined with social and environmental support and regular follow-ups, can improve the quality of life for older providing effective support and fostering strong mental stability in the elderly. The ancient Indian system of Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to managing these conditions, emphasizing the balance of body, mind, and spirit through dietary, lifestyle, and herbal interventions. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of Ayurvedic principles and practices in enhancing cognitive and psychobehavioral health in older adults, and to assess their integration with modern geriatric care. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, analyzing classical Ayurvedic texts such as the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita, as well as contemporary research on cognitive decline and mental health in the elderly. Key Ayurvedic interventions, including herbal treatments, dietary recommendations, and lifestyle practices, were evaluated for their impact on cognitive and psychobehavioral health. Social and environmental factors were also considered in the context of providing a supportive atmosphere for the elderly.The findings highlight the efficacy of Ayurvedic herbs such as Brahmi, Ashwagandha, and Shankhapushpi in improving memory, reducing anxiety, and enhancing cognitive function in geriatrics. Dietary and lifestyle modifications, including a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and regular practice of yoga and Pranayama, were found to support brain health and emotional well-being. Ayurvedic psychobehavioral therapies, such as Abhyanga (oil massage) and Shirodhara, demonstrated significant benefits in reducing stress and improving mood. Social engagement and a supportive environment further contributed to mental stability in older adults. Integration with modern geriatric care provided a comprehensive approach to managing cognitive decline and mental health issues.
