And what's more chyawanprash has a calming effect on nervous system and stress and improves concentration and memorization.

Chyawanprash looks like a marmelade that you can use like jam, on a slice of bread or eat directly from the spoon (which i prefer personally).

The vitamin C contained in Amla has a special composition and even after cooking it remains in the fruit.
