Wanting youthful vigour?
Author: Linda Sinden Date Posted:20 August 2020
Have you heard about Chyawanprash?
This traditional formula legend says was initially prepared for a man who found ‘the love of his life’ when he was in his 90’s. So Chyawan went to Ayurvedic experts who specialised in the promotion of life saying he needed to become youthful again to bear children and live a long, happy life with his love. The unique preparation created for him helped to restore his youthful vigour. Thus the name of this exceptionally well known classic Ayurvedic formula became Chyawanprash which means “what Chyawan ate” to restore his youthful vigour.
