subjectAbstract

Quest for a healthy and long life has always been attempted by mankind. With life expectancy rising, ageing with grace and leading a healthy & independent life will remain one of the main health concerns of all countries. Ayurveda, the oldest documented organised system of health care has also dealt this important health segment under aegis of Rasayana concept. The stress on prevention and promotion was anyways stressed more than the curative approach in Ayurveda. Many herbs and other natural products were used to delay the ageing process. These herbs are still being widely used in Ayurvedic parlance for this purpose. Many of these herbs are also been scientifically investigated and are complying the current understanding of ageing process. Therefore, the available literature was screened and a comprehensive list of herbs having Rasayana effect and potential anti-ageing effect was drawn. On basis of the already done investigations, the herbs from this list were established as anti-ageing agents. Thus, it is suggested that the remaining plants should also be investigated for their anti-ageing effect. This will help the researchers save valuable time and money.
