Chyawanprash is a delicious nutritive jam that has been used in Ayurveda for thousands of years. Antioxidant-rich spices, botanicals and herbs are combined in a meticulous and specific manner with ghee, black sesame oil and honey to create a delicious jam that can be taken everyday to support overall health and vitality.
Chyawanprash is very nourishing. Actually, chyawanprash pacifies Vata, Pitta, and Kapha and is considered a rejuvenating for all of the tissues in the body. Chyawanprash is said to support healthy aging and to promote beauty, intelligence, and memory.
Health Benefits of Chyawanprash
- Improves the immune system. The combination of over forty herbs makes chyawanprash a powerful immunity-boosting tonic. Amla or gooseberry, the main ingredient, contains 30 times more vitamin C than oranges. This is one of the main reasons why chyawanprash is such a powerful immune-booster. It protects the body from bacterial, viral, and fungal infections.
- Healthy respiratory system. It promotes a healthy respiratory system, being especially beneficial for the healthy functioning of the lungs. This makes it an ideal and healthy herbal remedy for those with asthma and chronic bronchitis.
- Great for digestion. This tonic does a great job of balancing stomach acids. It promotes the digestion of food and the absorption of nutrients into the blood. It also provides relief in constipation, reduces flatulence, and relieves nausea and diarrhea.
- Benefits for your heart. This herbal tonic also promotes the healthy functioning of the heart. It is a powerful energizer for the brain and helps enhance concentration and memory.
- Anti-aging features. It’s also an anti-aging herbal tonic that can prevent wrinkles and graying of hair. Its potent antioxidant and rejuvenating herbs delays the aging of cells, provides proper nutrition and promotes youthfulness and longevity.
- Many other benefits. Chyawanprash also helps purify blood, stimulate the liver, and promote the elimination of toxins from the body.
Much of Chyawanprash’s health benefits come from its main ingredient, Amla Berry. However, it is the skillful incorporation of the other ingredients in the jam, that make it the powerful treatment that it is. The various herbs and spices work together to support the beneficial actions of each other.
Chyawanprash can be taken alone, it can be stirred into milk or water, or it can be spread on toast, bread, or crackers—like any other jam. Taking chyawanprash in warm milk (or almond milk) helps to carry its tonifying and rejuvenating qualities deep into the tissues. The usual dose of chyawanprash is 1–2 teaspoons, once or twice daily. Children over 4 years old can take ½ teaspoon daily.
Chyawanprash is typically taken in the morning, or sometimes in both the morning and the evening. Chyawanprash can be taken on a long-term basis. Yet, it is better to use it seasonally, as a tonic in the cold months.
