Chyawanprash

Dating back at least 5,000 years, Chyawanprash is rooted in the ancient ayurveda principle that food and medicine should be intertwined. According to the legend of Chyawan, the revered and elderly sage was meditating when he became enlightened to a formula designed to increase longevity and improve quality of life. Chyawan created his recipe and over the next 40 days consumed a small amount at 4:00 am just prior to 40 minutes of meditation. He discovered this elixir had a rejuvenating and anti-aging effect. He also gained insight into prash, which signifies the importance of consuming food artfully and intentionally. In 100 A.D., the recipe of Chyawanprash appeared in the ancient ayurvedic text, Charaka Samhita as a medicinal remedy.
