The association between Ayurveda, anti-aging and cosmeceuticals is gaining importance in the beauty, health and wellness sector. Ayurvedic cosmeceuticals date back to the Indus Valley Civilization. Modern research trends mainly revolve around principles of anti-aging activity described in Ayurveda: Vayasthapana (age defying), Varnya (brighten skin-glow), Sandhaniya (cell regeneration), Vranaropana (healing), Tvachya (nurturing), Shothahara (anti-inflammatory), Tvachagnivardhani (strengthening skin metabolism) and Tvagrasayana (retarding aging). Many rasayana plants such as Emblica officinalis (Amla) and Centella asiatica (Gotukola) are extensively used.
阿育吠陀、抗衰老与药妆品之间的关联在美容、健康和养生领域正变得愈发重要。阿育吠陀药妆品可追溯至印度河流域文明。现代研究趋势主要围绕阿育吠陀中所描述的抗衰老活动原则展开：延缓衰老（Vayasthapana）、提亮肤色（Varnya）、细胞再生（Sandhaniya）、伤口愈合（Vranaropana）、滋养肌肤（Tvachya）、抗炎（Shothahara）、增强皮肤新陈代谢（Tvachagnivardhani）以及延缓衰老（Tvagrasayana）。许多具有抗衰老功效的植物，如余甘子（Amla）和积雪草（Gotukola），都被广泛使用。
