The Theory Behind the Legend
Chyavanaprasam is packed with vitamins essential for a healthy body and calm mind. Ayurvedic families have been taking it on a daily basis to promote health and longevity for many years and even generations. But why? Why is this ancient recipe still used so widely and frequently, even thousands of years after its creation?
Because Chyavanaprasam has incredible and powerful benefits for all doshic types. It boosts the immune system and metabolism, and supports healthy respiratory function along with building ojas, the very essence of life and vitality in Ayurveda. It is one of our most powerful Rasayanas or rejuvenating products frequently used to rejuvenate after panchakarma. It is also very nourishing for the heart, bones and kidneys. Practitioners frequently recommend Chyavanaprasam to support the strength and healing of both the male and female reproductive system, the digestive system and the lungs.
Ayurvedic legend has it that Chyavanaprasam was actually created for an elderly sage, Chyavana, to help him maintain his youthfulness. It can be consumed by the entire family, from young children to your grandparents!

When Should I take Chyavanaprasam?
The winter season is a beneficial time to begin taking Chyavanaprasam because of how easy it is to become ill during the cold months and it will help boost immunity. If your dominant pitta, be cautious if you’re taking it during the summer or if you have severe indigestion or diarrhea.
Another ideal time to take Chyavanaprasam is during times of high stress or busy work schedule. It will strengthen the body and help avoid "Burnout" which is a common cause for illness. Constant stress will cause exhaustion that leads to degeneration of the body and mind. Chyavanaprasam was created to prevent debility and illness.
