Chyavanaprasham: The Timeless Elixir for Strength, Immunity & Longevity
There are few formulas in Ayurveda as revered—or as relevant today—as Chyavanaprasham. Rooted in the Rasayana Adhyaya of the classical Charaka Samhita, this herbal jam (or avaleha) is said to have restored the youth and vitality of Sage Chyavana, and continues to be one of Ayurveda’s most trusted daily rejuvenators.
At Ayutherapy, we often recommend Chyavanaprasham to support:
🔸 Immune health
🔸 Energy and stamina
🔸 Respiratory wellness
🔸 Mental clarity
🔸 Seasonal resilience
Let’s take a deeper look at what makes this ancient formula so powerfully effective—and how you can use it in modern life.
