Chyawanprash
Chyawanprash is a delicious nutritive jam that has been used in Ayurveda for thousands of years, offering a wide range of health benefits

Chyawanprash is a very nourishing, anabolic preparation that is heating, heavy and oily. Provided digestion is strong, it builds strength and mass without aggravating kapha.2 Actually, chyawanprash pacifies vata, pitta, and kapha and is considered a rasayana (rejuvenative) for all of the tissues in the body. Chyawanprash is said to support healthy aging and to promote beauty, intelligence, and memory.1 It is also a tonic for the heart and it has a general affinity for the digestive, excretory, urinary, respiratory, and reproductive systems


Generally it is made up of 37 different ingredients.  We could find some 24 main jadi butis from the Pansari Shop

You can find most of the ingredients at Pansari shops of your cities
