CHYAWANPRASH - Ancient Elixir of Life

Thanks to its revitalizing effects, Chyawanprash has been called the "elixir of life" or "elixir of youth" in India for centuries and is used in rasayana or rejuvenation therapy, the main goal of which is to restore life energy, youthful vitality and the overall psychosomatic condition of the body.

Elixir of Life And its Origin

According to one of the old Indian legends, in ancient times there lived a old sage Chyawan, who at the end of his life discovered a beneficial combination of herbs with the heavenly fruit Amla, thanks to which he restored his health and youth and lived to a very old age in full strength. According to other sources, they were even Ashvins, brothers of semi-divine origin, known as doctors of the gods themselves gifted with the power of healing who prepared this miraculous herbal elixir of Amla and nearly 50 other Ayurvedic herbs for Sage Chyawan to restore his youth and good health. Since then, the name of this exceptional herbal elixir has borne the sage's name, and Chyawanprash has since become the most traditional preparation of Ayurvedic medicine, which has been using it for over 2,000 years.

The first documented recipe of this elixir of youth is found in the book Charaka Samhita written already in the 4th century BC by the sage Charaka. He describes it as an excellent means of strengthening physical and mental health.

 

 

Restoration of Vital Energy - Regeneration of Psychosomatic Forces When Exhausted

Chyawanprash is a nutritional herbal elixir that, thanks to its composition rich in a number of adaptogenic herbs, supports the overall regeneration of the organism. It has a significant effect on the in-depth nutrition of body tissues (dhatus), of which there are seven in the human body according to Ayurveda and which represent the basic building blocks of the physical body. These bodily tissues are listed in Ayurveda in the following order, according to how they are formed through the process of digestion from the daily diet: plasma (rasa), blood (rakta), muscle (māmsa), fat (meda), bone (asthi), bone marrow and nervous system (majja) and the essence of the reproductive organs (male shukra and female arthava). Each tissue in the order, as mentioned, nourishes the following tissue and at the end of the whole process a deep source of energy reserve and the very essence of the organism's immunity - ojas - is formed. Chyawanprash, which, in addition to health-giving herbs and the exceptional Amalaki fruit, also contains honey and clarified butter ghee, nourishes and supports the proper formation and functioning of all 7 basic body tissues to strengthen this basic life energy ojas.

A Powerful Antioxidant for Rejuvenation

The main ingredient of Chyawanprash is the small Indian fruit Amla (Emblica officinalis), which is called "heavenly" in India and considered sacred mainly due to its strong antioxidant and revitalizing effects. Amla is rich in a large amount of Vitamin C and other antioxidants that stimulate the body's natural defenses, eliminate the formation of free radicals, protect cells from oxidative stress and thereby slow down the aging process. Regular consumption of the elixir also increases iron absorption and helps with fatigue and exhaustion.

Cleansing the Body's Pathways

In addition to body tissues (dhatus), the human body is also equipped with a system of body pathways (srotamsi), which are in charge of processing the food taken in, nourishing the seven body tissues and ensuring the proper excretion of waste substances. Thanks to the content of a wide spectrum of herbs, Chyawanprash benefits the cleansing of these body pathways and keeps them in good condition.

Digestion, Liver and Blood

Among the most important included herbs providing comprehensive care for the digestive tract are bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica), haritaki (Terminalia chebula) and amla (Emblica officinalis), which together create the most powerful Ayurvedic detoxification triple combination known as triphala. It supports good digestion and regular emptying, has a strong detoxifying effect on the intestinal tract, benefits the immunity of the intestinal flora and harmonizes the activity of the digestive system as a whole.

The kalamegha herb (Andrographis paniculata) has a positive effect on cleansing the liver and restoring its vital functions associated with detoxification and good blood quality. Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) strengthens blood circulation and contributes to the harmonization of the circulatory system.
