What Is A Rasayana?
Rasayana is not a single herb but rather a special Ayurvedic category of herbs. Translated as “to enter the rasa,” rasayanas work through the rasa (fluids, plasma) to nourish all the organs. These special rejuvenating herbs are important in that they also support ojas, or vital life sap (1). Here is a short list of some of the most popular rasayanas in Ayurvedic herbalism:- Ashwagandha
- Shatavari
- Brahmi
- Amla berry
- Shilajit
- Guduchi
- Licorice
