How to Take Dabur Chyawanprash

Chyawanprash is a dark, sticky paste with a sweet and sour taste, a bit like jam. Dabur's is made on a base of amla (Indian gooseberry) pulp with herbs added; Dabur names amla, bilva, brahmi, pippali, yashtimadhu and gokshura among them. The jar's label has the full list. The recipe is old: it is written down in the Charaka Samhita, a classical Ayurvedic text.

How much to take

Here the sources do not agree, so read this part carefully.

• The Dabur Shop BD product page says half a teaspoon a day for children and 1 to 2 teaspoonfuls a day for adults.
• Dabur India's website says 1 teaspoon (about 12g) twice a day for adults and children over 12, and half a teaspoon twice a day for children aged 3 to 12.

The safest rule is to follow what is printed on the jar you have. If you are unsure, or you are giving it to a child, ask a doctor. Dabur's guidance starts at age 3.

How to take it

Dabur says to take it with lukewarm milk, or lukewarm water if you do not take milk. You can also eat it straight from the spoon or spread it on bread. Our product page suggests warm milk in winter and cold milk in summer.

Who should check with a doctor first

Chyawanprash is made with sugar and honey, so anyone with diabetes should ask a doctor before using it. The same goes for anyone who is pregnant, or who has a kidney, liver or blood pressure condition.

What to expect

Dabur sells Chyawanprash as an immunity supplement. Independent research on this is thin: a 2024 analysis of five Indian trials found no clear effect on COVID-19 infection, and published reviews describe the evidence for Chyawanprash as weak. It is a traditional food that many families eat daily. It is not a medicine, and it does not replace a doctor's advice.

Storage

Store it in a cool, dry place, with the lid closed. Use a dry spoon.
