Secret of rasayana preparations: sanyog
The so-called "rasayana" preparation generally involves many processes, long and careful, and its basic ingredients must be of the highest quality. Their goal is to maintain the health of the individual, restore it if necessary and strengthen the immune system. Some rasayana speed healing and promote the elimination of toxins, while others target the mind and intellect, improving memory and the ability to learn.
Some of the main rasayana herbs include amalaki, ashwagandha, brahmi, centella, turmeric (and black pepper), ginger, guduchi, shatavari and tulsi.
Taken individually, each herb generates its own effect, but together they produce a synergistic and holistic effect that is more than the sum of the individual components. In Sanskrit, the term used for this effect is sanyog. In these formulas, certain components are even chosen solely to counterbalance the effect of other ingredients or to help the body absorb them.
