We always think about Chyawanprash when we think of winter or childhood. Although we had no idea why we were eating this gooey, dark-coloured paste at the time, we now all understand that Chyawanprash is nutrient-rich and one of the best sources for boosting immunity. In addition, Chyawanprash, a tried-and-true Ayurvedic mixture of herbs and spices, aids in defending the body against all bacterial and viral diseases. It is also thought that the sage who created this Ayurvedic formula to renew his youth and energy went by the name "Chyawan," and the word "Prash" means "specially prepared food." This traditional dish, which is suitable for all age groups, is the best illustration of the diversity of Indian herbs and spices. Chyawanprash is believed to provide several health advantages, including strengthening the immune system, nourishing mucous membranes, and cleaning respiratory passages. But because of the passage of time and the increase in demand, genuine Chyawanprash is no longer offered for sale. What we receive is an adulterated version, so we thought it would be a good idea to share this simple, chemical-free Chyavanprash recipe.
