Rasāyana (रसायन) is a Sanskrit word literally meaning path (ayana) of essence (rasa). It is an early ayurvedic medical term referring to techniques for lengthening lifespans and invigorating the body. It is one of the eight areas of medicine in Sanskrit literature. In the Vedic alchemical context, "rasa" also translates to "metal or a mineral".
