This review paper delves into the anti-aging potential of herbs from the Sikkim Himalayas, highlighting their significance in promoting overall wellbeing. Through a comprehensive literature review and targeted searches, we identified and analyzed fifteen prominent anti-aging herbs, such as Rhodiola rosea, Curcuma longa, and Cordyceps sinensis. Given the projected growth of the global anti-aging market to US$71.6 billion in 2023, there is an increasing demand for natural, plant-based solutions. Our findings emphasize the practical applications of these herbs, discussing methods for integrating them into daily life and their potential health benefits. The review also notes that roots were the most commonly utilized plant part, followed by leaves. In terms of family distribution, the Zingiberaceae and Fabaceae families each accounted for 13% of the identified herbs. This study underscores the importance of further exploration into the medicinal and antiaging properties of Sikkim’s herbal flora, offering insights for future research and the development of natural health products aimed at fostering longevity and wellness.
