Chyavanaprash |
|
|
|
Maharshi Chyavan first prepared this medicine to
bring back
youth in an old and fragile body, and that is
why it is known as "Chyavan-Prash". Charak Samhita, the ancient
Ayurvedic treatise written by sage Charak in the 4th century BC,
contains the first historically documented formula for
Chyavanprash.
|
|
|
|
According to the 'Charaka Samhita', Chyawanprash is "the
foremost of all rasayanas, especially good for
relief of
cough and asthma; it nourishes the weak,
the wounded, the old and those that are of tender years as
well." Through the use of this rasayana "a person acquires
intelligence, memory, comeliness of body, freedom from disease,
longevity, strength of the senses, great pleasure in the
companionship with women, great increase in the strength of the
digestive fire, improvement of the complexion, and preserve the
harmony of the three doshas".
