Abstract:

Ayurvedic rejuvenation therapy, particularly the Rasayana system, offers a holistic approach to combating the effects of aging and promoting longevity. Rooted in ancient texts, Rasayana is a branch of Ayurvedic medicine dedicated to restoring vitality, enhancing immunity, and improving overall health through the use of herbs, dietary practices, and lifestyle modifications. As modern medicine increasingly emphasizes anti-aging therapies, the relevance of Rasayana in the context of aging and longevity has gained attention. This paper reviews the role of Rasayana in mitigating age-related degeneration, enhancing cellular regeneration, and improving mental and physical health, in line with Ayurvedic principles. It discusses various Rasayana herbs such as Ashwagandha, Brahmi, and Guduchi, highlighting their pharmacological effects on cellular oxidative damage, inflammation, and immune function, which are pivotal in the aging process. Furthermore, the potential of Rasayana in increasing life expectancy while promoting a higher quality of life is explored. Drawing from both classical Ayurvedic texts and contemporary research, this paper aims to bridge traditional wisdom and modern scientific understanding of aging and longevity. The findings suggest that Rasayana therapy, when integrated with contemporary health practices, could offer an effective alternative or complementary solution for age-related health issues. The evidence presented underscores the need for more clinical trials to substantiate the efficacy of Ayurvedic rejuvenation therapy in modern healthcare settings, particularly in combating the physiological and psychological effects of aging. This review also provides insights into how Rasayana can be customized to individual needs, aligning with personalized medicine paradigms.
