Chavanprash Dabur full line-up:
The composition of Chavanprash contains 49 plant and mineral components that have a systemic effect on the entire body:
- Amla (Emblica Officinalis) is the “plant-king” of the elixir, i.e. its prabhava is most important in this phyto-reception. This is the richest natural source of vitamin C, the content of which is 1.5 times higher than in the rosehip fruit. The pulp of the fresh fruits of this tropical plant makes up the largest percentage of Chavanprashe in relation to other components. Amla contains various forms of ascorbic acid, combined with the tannin complex gallic acid. This increases the stability of vitamin C, which is stored in the elixir for up to two years. Thanks to ascorbates, carotenoids, and bioflavonoids, amla has antioxidant properties, i.e. it neutralizes the aggressive action of free radicals formed as a result of oxidative processes. Three types of radicals are known: the superoxide radical, the hydrogen peroxide radical, and the hydroxyl radical. If the first two are neutralized by the enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase, and non-hydroxydase, then the body has not developed a specific defense against the hydroxyl radical, since its appearance is associated with high-frequency radiation from televisions, computers, radiotelephone, and other household appliances and electronics that have appeared relatively recently. Free radicals can damage the endothelium of the arteries, accelerate the aging of articular cartilage and intervertebral discs, disrupt the colloidal balance of bile and weaken the immune system. Therefore, these days, regular intake of antioxidants is very important. In addition, amla has an immunomodulatory effect. The usual activation of the immune system is not always favorable, since there is a group of diseases associated with autoimmune aggression: bronchial asthma, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, glomerulonephritis, psoriasis, and others. Amla brings the immune system into balance. And, finally, this plant stimulates the synthesis of hemoglobin, which is confirmed by modern scientific research.
- Haritaki (Myrobalan chebula) literally translates as “a plant that steals diseases”. In Ayurvedic and Tibetan medicine, he is called the “king of all medicines”. Wherever there is a pathological focus in the body, this plant suppresses it and activates our defenses. Haritaki, due to its rich content of hebulic acid, improves brain function, strengthens memory, increases the ability to learn, and also contributes to the adaptation of the body to adverse geophysical, meteorological, and man-made impacts. In this plant, the most powerful natural antioxidants belonging to the group of anthocyanidins are found. The vasoconstrictive and hemostatic effect of haritaka is associated with the presence of catechins. In minimal doses (this is the percentage of the plant contained in Chavanprash) has a laxative effect on the intestines, cleanses the liver and blood, prevents the formation of cataracts. In Chavanprash, haritaki is considered the “queen” – a plant that enhances the effect of amla. Together, they balance all the primary elements of the body and the three doshas.
- Dashamul is the common name of the collection of 10 legendary roots: Bilva, Agnimanthi, Shionaki, Kasmarya, Patala, Shaliparni, Prishni-guys, Vrihati, Kantakari, and Goktury. These 10 roots, thanks to the rich content of sitosterols and glycosides, normalize the state of the neuroendocrine system, regulating the function of the most important hormonal organs: the thyroid, pancreas, thymus glands, adrenal glands, and reproductive system. In addition, each of the above plants has its own individual prabhava.
- Bilva (Aegle marmelos), due to the content of the specific glycoside marmelosin, has an antiarrhythmic and tonic effect. The rich amount of azulenes in the plant causes an anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effect.
- Agnimanthi (Premna integrefolia) stimulates the stomach and pancreas. The specific alkaloid rubber has a tonic effect. The presence of salicylates in this plant allows it to be used in the treatment of rheumatism and polyarthritis. In addition, it contains substances that stop the reproduction of gonococci.
- Shionaki (Oroxilum indicum) is rich in the glycoside oroxylon, which has analgesic, diaphoretic and anti-inflammatory effects. The plant is used to treat tetroepterocolitis, arthrosis,rheumatism and colds.
- Casmarya (Gmelina arborea) has a laxative, diuretic, lactogenic effect. It is used to treat gonorrhea and chronic cystitis. Eliminates intoxication from snake and scorpion bites.
- Patala (Stereospermum suaveoleus) eliminates indigestion, reduces swelling and cough.
- Shaliparni (Desmodium gangeticum) has a pronounced antipyretic and diaphoretic effect. The plant is also rich in the alkaloid rubber, so it causes a tonic effect.
- Prishniparna (Uraria picta), thanks to its rich content of terpenoids and tannins, eliminates bleeding and strengthens the vascular endothelium. Expectorant and antipyretic effects were also noted.
- Bpuxamu (Solanum indicum) has a mucolytic, expectorant, anti-allergic effect. Especially effective for the treatment of bronchial asthma. Eliminates the phenomena of flatulence and intestinal colic. An Antitumor effect was also revealed. Contains the alkaloid solapidin, mucopolysaccharides and pectins.
- Kantakari (Solar jaquini) stimulates the synthesis of cortisosteroids, sex hormones due to the rich content of carpesterol. Glucoalkaloids solankarpine and solacarpidine eliminate congestive cough, vasomotor rhinitis, urticaria. This plant also has a moderate laxative and diuretic effect.
- Gokshura (Tribulus Terrestris) is the most famous plant from the dashamula root group. It is very rich in silicic acid salts, the presence of which prevents the formation of kidney stones. In gokshur, substances have been found that have a selective anti-inflammatory and bacteriostatic effect on the urogenital sphere. Normalizes seed synthesis and its viscosity. Increases potency. Prevents the development of chronic prostatitis and prostate adenoma.
- Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) contains gyotosterols, which are an analog of the sex hormone-testosterone, so it is used to correct various sexual disorders in both men and women (in the female body, testosterone under the influence of the aromatase enzyme turns into estrogens). In addition, thanks to the alkaloid somniferin, this plant is an excellent tonic, adaptogen and anti-stress agent. With age, due to metabolic disorders and aging of the endocrine, cardiovascular and respiratory systems, the normal process of glucose oxidation is disrupted. Therefore, only 2 molecules of ATP (the main energy substrate of cells) are formed from one glucose molecule. Somniferin converts glucose oxidation to the aerobic pathway, even in tissues experiencing hypoxia. As a result, 38 ATP molecules are formed from one glucose molecule. In addition, somniferin eliminates excess lactic and pyruvic acids, synthesizing glycogen from them in the liver and muscles, and also increases the breakdown of fats, using them as an additional source of energy. Thus, ashwagandha eliminates chronic fatigue and tissue acidosis. Somniferin has another important effect-the ability to preserve the depot of serotonin and dopamine in the hypothalamus and other subcortical centers. This prevents excessive excitement and exhaustion of the nervous system. Ashwagandha prevents the premature onset of menopause and such an unpleasant pathology as parkinsonism.
- Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) is extremely rich in steroid saponins, which have a hormone-like effect. It rejuvenates the female sexual system. Increases the production of breast milk, normalizes the monthly cycle, increases the ability of eggs to fertilize. Increases the transition of estradiol to estrol, thereby preventing the occurrence of fibromyomas and mastopathies. Prevents the accumulation of dehydrotestosterone, which in older men causes the growth of the prostate gland. The alkaloid asparagine was found in shatavari, which increases cardiac output and reduces heart rate and blood pressure. In addition, the plant is rich in bioflavonoids, which prevent damage to cell membranes.
- Bhumiamla (Phyllanthus amarus), due to its high content of phyllanthin and hypophyllanthin, has a pronounced choleretic and hepatoprotective effect. Increases the uptake of cholesterol and glucose by liver cells. Therefore, it is used not only for the treatment of various liver diseases, but also for the prevention of atherosclerosis, type II diabetes mellitus (insulin-dependent). Bhumiamla is also used in the complex treatment of systemic skin diseases: psoriasis, neurodermatitis and eczema. Antiparasitic properties of this plant were also revealed.
- Bamboo (Bambusa arundinaceae) is mainly used in the inner, milky part of the bamboo bark, called tabashir (“bamboo manna”), because it is one of the richest natural sources of silicic acid. Thanks to this, tabashir prevents the formation of gallstones in the gallbladder and kidneys. In addition, bamboo contains a large amount of mucopolysaccharides and proteolytic enzymes. Therefore, in Ayurveda, it is also used as a bronchodilator expectorant. Tabashir eliminates inflammatory processes in the respiratory system, strengthens and rejuvenates the lung system.
- Pippali (Piper longum) is a good stimulant of the digestive glands, eliminates indigestion, flatulence, constipation, poor appetite; removes excess mucus from the body. Thanks to the combination of the alkaloid piperine together with medicinal resins and polysaccharides, pippali in minimal doses normalizes the function of the stomach (even with high acidity, despite its sharp taste), eliminates stagnation in the liver and respiratory system.
- Bala (Sida Cordifolia) contains a minimal amount of the alkaloid rotundifolin, which is very similar in its chemical structure to ephedrine. It increases the tone of the central nervous system, excites the vascular and respiratory centers of the medulla oblongata, increases cardiac output, relieves bronchospasm. The composition of bala also includes phytosterols that enhance the processes of anabolism, especially muscle and bone tissue. In addition, natural antibiotics have been isolated from the plant, which suppress the reproduction of gonococci, dysentery sticks (Shigella).
- Saffron (Crocus sativus) is extremely rich in crocketins, which are highly active glycosides. They stimulate the regeneration of liver cells, enhance hematopoiesis (synthesis of blood cells), normalize the metabolism of estrogens (accelerate the transition of estradiol to estrol), preventing the development of endometriosis, fibromyomas, and cervical erosion.
- Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) has the ability to purify the blood from ama (products of incomplete metabolism), immune complexes, and toxins released by pathogenic microflora. This action is associated with the presence of berberine and tinosiorin in the plant. Diuretic and diaphoretic effects are also noted.
- Karkatashringch (Pistacia integerrima), due to the high content of essential oils and medicinal resins, has expectorant, bronchodilator and anti-infective effects.

- Kushtha (Saussurea lappa) is very rich in essential oils and the alkaloid saussurin, which cause relaxation of the smooth muscles of the bronchi, urinary and gallbladder, uterus and intestines; they have an overwhelming effect on staphylocci and streptococci. There is also a tonic effect associated with the presence of rubber.
- Katchur (Fagonia cretica) has a tonic and antipyretic effect. In addition, the plant contains substances that prevent the occurrence of smallpox.
- Musta (Cyperus rotundus) has a toxic effect on many parasites, tones the nervous system, stimulates the digestive organs, strengthens the stomach, and has a diuretic effect.
- Punarnava (Baurchevia diffusa) due to the high content of calcium salts and the punarnavin alkaloid has a pronounced diuretic effect, increases the synthesis of hemoglobin, and eliminates stagnation in the liver. Catechins strengthen the vascular endothelium.
- Nile (Inigofera tinctoria) has hemostatic, sedative and moderate diuretic effects. The active glycoside-indican was found in the plant. Prevents the exacerbation of peptic ulcer disease, enhances tissue regeneration.
- Synhaparni (Adhatoda vasica) inhibits the reproduction and growth of staphylococcus, streptococcus, diphtheria and tuberculosis bacillus, protozoan, and coli infections. Such antibacterial properties of the plant are associated with alkaloid vascin and albatodonic acid. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects were also noted.
- Cacatundi (Asclepias curassavica), vincetoxin and asclepiadin glycoside contained in this plant inhibit the growth of shigella and gonococci, stimulate the work of vegetative organs.
- Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) occupies one of the first places in the” golden row ” of plants because it affects all the organs of the system. Thanks to the glycoside carbenoxolone, it has an anti-ulcer effect; due to the high content of saponins, it has an emollient expectorant effect. The presence of liquiricin glycoside causes laxative, choleretic and antispasmodic effects. Beta-sitosterols prevent the development of prostate adenoma, increase urination. The high content of glycyram causes immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, adaptogenic effects. As mentioned above, Ayurveda uses licorice root as a “key plant” in many phyto-receptures.
- Varahikand (Dioscorea bulbifera) is rich in natural antiseptics. It is used as a natural preservative, prevents the reproduction of various intestinal infections.
- Vrasavalli (Ipomoea digitata) increases the production of breast milk, normalizes the monthly cycle, prevents spermatorrhea, has a choleretic and diuretic effect. One of the Ayurvedic adaptogens. The properties of the plant are associated with phytosterols and alkaloid rubber.
- Akarakarava (Anacylus pyrethrum), thanks to the alkaloid nellitorin, stimulates capillary blood circulation, and acts on the part of the tissue that is experiencing oxygen starvation; increases the effect of norepinephrine, increasing the tone of the body. An anti-inflammatory effect was also revealed.
- Nagkeshar (Mesua ferrea) stimulates the cardiovascular system, cleanses the blood, has an anti-inflammatory and diuretic effect. The active ingredients are essential oils and bioflavonoids. It has a positive effect on the stomach.
- Dalcini (Cinnamonum cassia), or cinnamon; its medicinal properties are due to monr – and sexvi-terpenes — fellandren, pinene, linalol and caryophyllene, as well as the alkaloid rubber and cinnamylic acid. This plant has a diaphoretic, carminative, expectorant action. Cinnamon improves blood circulation, reduces muscle tension, and strengthens the kidneys.
- Tejpatra (Cinnamomum iners) – another type of cinnamon, similar in properties to dalcini. However, it has more pronounced diuretic and lactogenic effects.
- Lavanga (Syzygium aromaticum), thanks to essential oils, increases the digestibility of food.
- Cardamom (Elettaria cardamonum) activates the pancreas, removes excess mucus from the stomach, normalizes intestinal peristalsis, reduces nausea. The active ingredients are cineol, terpinol, limonin, and sabinin.
- Chandanshrah (Santalum album), or sandalwood, cleanses the blood, reduces fever, calms the nervous system and the vascular center of the medulla oblongata. A large amount of essential oils and aldehyde santalol allows you to use sandalwood for the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system, acute respiratory infections and conjunctivitis.
- Muktasukti pishti (pearl powder) is a rich source of calcium, magnesium and silicon salts. Traditionally used for the treatment of diseases of the joints, spine, liver, spleen and blood vessels.
- Silver (Argentum) is a natural antiseptic and preservative. In addition, it has anti-inflammatory, sedative, and strengthening effects.
