Chyawanprash health benefits

Chyawanprash is an herbal jam-like medicine used in Ayurveda, explains Vaidya P. Kiran (Ayurveda). It is traditionally used as a health supplement to fight everyday illnesses and to support the immune system. One of the most popular Ayurvedic medicines, chyawanprash falls under the category of drugs named “Rasayana,” which are rejuvenating tonics that aim to maintain youth and delay the aging process. Chyawanprash is most commonly used to boost the immune system, to treat any lung or breathing problems, and to improve memory and brain function.

However, the main ingredient, amla or Indian gooseberry, remains consistent across different formulations. According to official recipes, the amount of Indian gooseberry used is over 100 times the amount of each of the other herbs.

How Chyawanprash Works
Indian gooseberry is very high in vitamin C. Since Indian gooseberry is the main component of chyawanprash, this high vitamin C content is likely responsible for some of the chyawanprash antioxidant properties and its other effects.

Indian gooseberry and vitamin C have both been shown to enhance memory, which could be how chyawanprash may exert its improvement on brain function and memory.
Brain degeneration disorders like dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are thought to be partially caused by decreases in cholinergic neurons (a certain type of brain cell). Chyawanprash may improve brain function by enhancing the activity of these brain cells.
