Rasayana therapy, a fundamental component of Ayurveda, promotes longevity, rejuvenation, and overall well-being by enhancing physiological functions and strengthening disease resistance. This therapeutic approach utilizes a wide range of medicinal herbs known for their anti-aging, adaptogenic, cognitive-enhancing, and immunomodulatory properties. Prominent Rasayana herbs include Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri), Amalaki (Emblica officinalis), Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula), Pippali (Piper longum), Mulethi (Glycyrrhiza glabra), Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), and Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris). Rasayana herbs have demonstrated antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and neuroprotective properties in preclinical and limited clinical studies. Their synergistic effects make them valuable in both traditional and modern therapeutic practices. Regular use of Rasayana herbs, combined with a healthy lifestyle, may support physiological resilience; however, current evidence for anti-aging and neuroprotective effects is largely derived from preclinical and small clinical studies, and requires further validation. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the pharmacological mechanisms, therapeutic applications, and contemporary relevance of Rasayana herbs, highlighting their potential role in promoting long-term health and disease prevention.
