Chyawanprash Magic

in , ,

This is a magical new discovery I came across about 6 months ago and has helped me with digestive troubles immensely. Chyawanprash  is an Ayurvedic health jam which is made up of a super-concentrated blend of 40+ nutrient-rich herbs and minerals. It is meant to restore drained reserves of life force (ojas) and to preserve strength, stamina, and vitality, while stalling the course of aging. Chyawanprash is named after Rishi, Sage Chyawan.

Chyawanprash contains Amla or Gooseberry which contains the world’s richest source of vitamin C. Among its’ herbs it contains a base of raw honey and ghee ( a clarified butter). “Regular intake of this tonic helps to attain intellect, memory, immunity, endurance, support respiratory health, improved functioning of the senses, great sexual strength and stamina, improved digestive processes, improvised skin-tone and glow.”

I love to spread the jam on toasted gluten free bread, but also tastes great on its’ own as a spoonful first thing in the morning or before bed. I really like the Banyan Botanicals brand as it is certified Organic.

Liquid Chlorophyll Essential

There is a lot of buzz now around staying healthy with the Corona Virus shutting down the world. Naturally trying to eat healthy is on many people’s minds. We have heard a lot about Vitamin C, Zinc and many more supplements. I would say there are many companies attempting to capitalize off people wanting to stay healthy during this time. To be honest with you I don’t take a lot of supplements myself, I try to get what I need from food. When I do feel like I need an extra boost I might take a Whole Food Vitamin like MegaFood, or some Vitamin B12 or D. I’m a huge proponent of juicing, I mainly drink vegetables juices with the occasional apple added here or there. Which brings me to the topic of Chlorophyll, the deep green liquid that comes from plants. We’ve all been told it’s important to have our greens in our diet but what makes chlorophyll so special? Studies show that chlorophyll is nearly identical to hemoglobin our blood. Healthy blood is essential to life and not only is excellent for people with anemia, but it creates more oxygen in our blood. Yes, you heard that right, more oxygen. Right now we are hearing of people with this virus desperately needing more oxygen. Adding chlorophyll is a great idea to supplement with regardless of whether you are concerned about corona or not. It deodorizes the body and is safe to give pets as well. My favorite brand right now is by Herbs Etc. Read the reviews for yourself, people are having amazing results. Stay safe and healthy!
