Wanna know what goes into an 6000 year old Ayurvedic elixir like Chyawanprash ?
When I was young my mother gave me this daily as an energizer, brain retention/ recall booster, immunity booster and pre-emptive tonic. It strengthens the nervous system, digestion, absorption and assimilation of food and balances stomach acids.
The main ingredient is amla or gooseberry.
