INTRODUCTION
In the modern scenario due to the bad dietary
habits of people and busy life style. The immunity
is being compromised and the people are affected
by many chronic infections and deficiency of
many nutrients. In Ayurveda; Acharya Charaka
had made a good formulation of more than 48
herbs and many spices mainly containing Amalaki
fruits known as Chyawanprash. Chyawanprash

Firoj A. Tamboli / Tropical Journal of Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences 2021, Vol. 8 (1), 21-29
https://informativejournals.com/journal/index.php/tjpls Page | 22
(CP; also spelled as cyavanaprasa,
chyavanaprasha, chyavanaprash, chyavanaprasam
and chyawanaprash) is a renowned recipe from
Ayurveda, and has a long history of ethnic
mention in Indian literature as well as Ayurvedic
books. That have detailed description in Charak
Samhita and other Ayurvedic texts.1 In Sanskrit,
the word ‘Prash’ stands for a specially prepared
food and ‘Chyawan’ was the name of the sage for
whom this Ayurvedic nutritive formula was
concocted to restore his youth & vitality.2
Chyawanprash contains various Ayurvedic
ingredients that help in boosting immunity,
protect against infections, and provides nutrition
and energy. Chyawanprash strengthens immune
system & increases the activity of NK cells
(Natural Killer Cells) which are an essential part
of our body's immune system and fights germs,
bacteria and infections (invading pathogenic
microorganisms) and cancer hence increasing our
immunity.3,4 In Ayurveda, Chyawanprash is
classified under the category of Rasayana, which
aims at maintaining physique, vigour and vitality,
while delaying the ageing process.5-8
Chyawanprash has potent antioxidant activity
along with the ability to nourish brain cells. It
may be useful in enhancing memory and
improving coordination among various body
parts. It also helps in increasing retention and
learning ability. Chyawanprash may also be
useful in having a calming effect on the central
nervous system. It reduces anxiety and other
stress-related disorders. This helps to sleep
better.9-16
Time to Take Chyawanprash17
Chyawanprash is one of the best medicines used
in anti-ageing treatment, called rasayana therapy.
Here, after Panchakarma treatment, the patient is
made to take chyawanprash for a few weeks to a
few months time. In the traditional Rasayana anti
ageing therapy, the patient is made to eat
chyawanprash replacing the breakfast and is
asked to consume milk to quench his thirst.
Chyawanprash mainly improves respiratory
immunity. So, for a person with early morning
allergies, who suffers from air pollution and
pollen allergies throughout the day, or who has
more asthma attacks during day time, taking
Chyawanprash in the morning is very helpful.
Most of the respiratory disorders involve Kapha
imbalance. If we divide day time into three equal
parts, the morning one third is dominated by
Kapha Dosha. Hence, Chyawanprash in the
morning is very useful. If one takes it before food,
when the digestion strength is more, a maximum
amount of phytonutrients from Chyawanprash
will be absorbed into the body, making the
immunity a lot stronger. So, morning, before
breakfast with milk is the best time to take
Chyawanprash.

Chyawanprash Immunity Booster and Restore
Youthfulness
An important and effective Ayurvedic health
supplement, Chyawanprash is well known for
boosting immunity and treating various infections
like cold and cough. A fruit jam-like tonic that
tastes sweet, sour, and spicy, Chyawanprash has
therapeutic potential, which has been proved
scientifically.
Immunity Booster11,13,21-24
Amla, the main ingredient in Chyawanprash, is
rich in Vitamin C. This antioxidant boosts
immunity. Studies have shown that vitamin C has
a positive effect on bolstering immunity. In
addition, Amla has adaptogenic properties, which
helps the body to adapt to stress. Chyawanprash
helps the body to produce haemoglobin and white
blood cells. Amla detoxifies the body and
cleanses the blood, liver, spleen and the lungs,
promoting healthy muscle mass. The presence of
antioxidants and rich in vitamin C, which is
responsible for strengthening the immune system,
Chyawanprash offers an absolute remedy for
improving the immune system, fighting microbes
and shielding the body against various infections.
It also portrays the presence of strong anti-viral,
anti-bacterial, and antifungal properties, which is
extremely effective in preventing infections like
fever, common cold, sore throat, and other
respiratory anomalies. It is also helpful in
maintaining the appropriate moisture level in the
respiratory tract. These properties together help
fight infections better thus reducing the incidence
of common cold.
Soldiers manning the border posts in Kashmir that
has some of the coldest battlefields in the world,
including the Siachen glacier, have a reason to
cheer now. A Chyavanprash has been developed
by the country's premier research laboratory
Defence Research Development Organisation
(DRDO) to help them withstand the bone-chilling
cold on the Himalayan heights bordering Pakistan
and China. Pre-clinical and clinical trials of this
ayurvedic preparation have been successfully
conducted by Dr. Sathya Murthy, an allopathic
practitioner attached to the research and
development (Medical) unit of DRDO, the
secretary-general of New Delhi-based Vijnana
Bharati, Jayakumar Appukuttan. The
Chyavanprash has been tested among the soldiers
serving in high altitudes and it has yielded good
results. The trials have revealed that soldiers after
consuming this Chyavanprash have shown that
they could not only withstand the sub-zero
temperatures, but also could extend their stay in
the cold region, said Mr. Jayakumar, who is
coordinating the IV World Ayurveda Congress.25
