Ageing process and its responsible causative factors are remained matter of curiosity since era. Ayurveda accepts ageing as
a natural phenomenon and is categorized under the heading of naturally occurring diseases. Swabhava (nature) and Kala
(time factor) are accepted as causative factor for the same. In first 50 yrs of 21st century, old age dependency ratio is
expected to become double in more developed region and triple in less developed region. During census (India) 2001 it was
interestingly found that majority of senile people were living in rural area and it was assumed that due to rural area life
style people average life span is more than the people of urban area. While discussing about Rasayana; the domestic food
& life style (Gramyaahara) has been considered as responsible factor for disease production in general. The consequences
of domestic food intake are very much similar with probabilistic ageing. Collectively all these facts throw a light on new
direction to think about ageing.
