ANTI-AGEING NATURAL HERBS: A SYSTEMIC REVIEW
Open accessAbstract
Skin is the largest organ of the integumentary system.The overall well-being& perception of health in humans, very much depends on skin health & beauty.Skin plays a vital role in immunity& protects the body against pathogens, maintains water and electrolyte balance & also regulates body temperature.Epidermis is the protective covering over the body surface which serves as a barrier to infection.Thinning of this epidermal layer, loosening of collagen & elastic fiber, leads to the wrinkle formation and causes ageing.Ageing occurs due to the intrinsic factors like genetics, cellular metabolism, hormone & metabolic process or extrinsic factors like sun exposure, smoking, diet and pollution.In this era of modern science, people choose natural herbs rather than plastic surgery or laser therapy for not only looking younger but also to reduce complications.Herbs help in biological functioning of the skin & supplies nutrients required for healthy skin.Herbs contain several phytochemicals like carotenoids, terpenoids, polyphenols which possesses anti-aging activity.A few herb which shows anti-aging activity includes, Aloe, Cucumber, Ginseng, Honey, Wheat, Liquorice, Arjuna, Jatamansi etc.

The Chakraborty et al. 44 review's lack of high-quality evidence and methodological rigor limits the reliability and generalizability of its findings.
“In conclusion, while the review offers a comprehensive overview of the potential benefits of anti‐aging natural herbs, the lack of high‐quality evidence and methodological rigor limits the reliability and generalizability of the findings.”

The Discussion (page not provided) says much of the research on these herbs has been conducted in vitro and calls for more clinical studies, supporting concern about the strength of the clinical evidence. It does not assess the review’s methodological rigor or state that its findings lack reliability or generalizability. (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe Chakraborty et al. 44 review lacks a clear methodology for the inclusion and exclusion of studies and for the assessment of the quality of included studies.
“Moreover, the review lacks a clear methodology for the inclusion and exclusion of studies, as well as the assessment of the quality of the included studies.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
