The article discusses the importance of medicinal plants and herbs in Ayurveda, focusing on their anti-ageing properties as mentioned in the Rasayana section of the Charaka Samhita.
Ageing is described as a complex process involving physiological changes such as oxidative stress, telomere shortening, inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction. While chronological ageing is irreversible, biological ageing can be controlled by various factors.
Ayurvedic herbs are highlighted as effective means of managing age-related problems as they contain natural bioactive agents that can delay the aging process by promoting gene longevity, telomerase activity, tissue regeneration and scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS).
The text discusses the anti-aging potential of Ayurvedic plants and their use in treating modern age-related problems, although it notes that clinical studies examining rasayana aspects are limited.
According to Charaka, rasayana medicines help open blocked channels and scavenge free radicals, potentially mitigating the effects of aging.
The text emphasizes the importance of Ayurvedic medicinal plants as anti-aging remedies, pointing to their potential to reverse the aging process by slowing it down and effectively treating age-related problems.
