                      Ayurveda embraces eight branches of medicine: surgery,
                      internal medicine, psychiatry, pediatrics, toxicology,
                      otolarygology, virilization, and rejuvenation. The latter
                      is called  
                      Rasayana in Sanskrit, the
                      original language of Ayurvedic science. Rasa refers to "essence," "flavor, "taste",
                  "emotion", or "juice", but is not limited
                    to any of these in itself. Rasa is a pervasive satisfaction
                    that derives from a unique concurrence of contributing
                    factors. As a therapeutic process it is concerned with the
                    conservation, transformation, and revitalization of energy.
                    This traditional approach to diet, daily regime, and herbal
                    oil treatments provides the model for the rejuvenation program
                  at Rasayana Cove. Through a combination of factors 
                      --  pleasant natural surroundings, tranquility, wholesome food,
                      simplicity, prolonged relaxation, self-awareness, gentle
                      internal cleansings, digestive stimulation, massage, herbal
                      oils, life-style/dietary counseling, and emotional support,
                      the rejuvenation program of Rasayana Cove produces positive
                      changes in the well-being of those who come here: physical and
                      emotional strength, increased immunity, and a renewed
                      enthusiasm for living. Our clients have reported such physical
                      improvements as lower blood pressure, improved hepatic enzyme

                      sciatica, lumbago, and fibro-myalgia, as well as weight loss

                      improved bowel and bladder function, and relief from chronic
