subject: Anti-ageing & Rejuvenation through Ayurveda [print this page] The most effective rasayana kalp is prepared from Bhallataka (Semicarpus anacardium]. After proper purification, a decoction is prepared from the nut with a specific quantity of ghee and milk and kept in an air-tight container for 7-8 days. This wonderful anti-ageing formula is called Amrita Bhallathaka Grta. A combination of Shilajeet, Punarnava, Ashwagandha and Giloya can hit the anti-ageing and neutraceutical market because it is backed by modern Phytotherapeutic research. In addition, rasayana preparations such as Shankupushpi, Brahmi & Mandukaparni have also been found to be equally effective. When mixed with honey, these rasayana supplements promote sleep naturally and improve memory. [15-21]
But Rasayana can not work appropriately without body purification and detoxification. Hence Panch Karma procedures are necessary. Ayurvedic abhayanga [massage] using medicated til oil is best way to slow down the ageing process. Other Panch Karma procedures such as Nasyam, Ashthapana Vasti and Shirovasti are also useful as rejuvenation and anti-ageing Ayurvedic treatment. Last, but not the least. Ayurveda believes that adherence to truth and discipline, or following a life free from resentment, anger, or hatred, and excessive ostentation, are absolutely essential for optimal health, longevity, and also to feel and look young !
