The Gift of the Ashwins

Answering his call were the Ashwini Kumaras, the twin celestial physicians of the Vedas. Masters of Ayurveda and healers of the cosmos, the Ashwins were known for restoring youth, health, and vitality.

Moved by Chyawan’s devotion, they prepared a potent herbal elixir—an alchemy of amla fruit, adaptogens, ghee, honey, and healing spices—designed to renew his essence and restore his radiance. The transformation was so profound that the formula became immortalized as Chyawanprash, “the jam of Chyawan.”

Did You Know?
The word rasayana means “path of essence” in Sanskrit. Rasayanas are Ayurveda’s most revered rejuvenative formulas—designed to restore ojas, the life essence that fuels vitality, immunity, and longevity.

Nourishment, Devotion & the Feminine

The story of Chyawanprash is more than a tale of a sage regaining his youth—it is a story of devotion to the feminine. Chyawan’s quest was not only for himself, but to rise to meet the radiance of his young bride, to honor her presence by nourishing his own.

In this way, the legend reminds us of something essential: women need nourishment, too. In order to nurture others, women must first be nourished themselves. This is the heart of SOMA’s values—reclaiming wellness not as a burden or an afterthought, but as a sacred act of self-love.

Chyawanprash became a formula of renewal, but also of intimacy, joy, and presence—the very qualities that flow when the feminine is honored and supported.

The Taste of Renewal

Chyawanprash is not only medicine—it is an experience. Its taste is complex, grounding, and alive:

• Sweet from honey and cane sugar

• Tart from antioxidant-rich amla

• Spiced with warming cinnamon, cardamom, and long pepper

Tart amla balanced with warming spices. Sweetness from honey and cane sugar. The smooth richness of ghee. A taste that is as grounding as it is energizing—sweet, tart, spiced, and deeply alive.

Did You Know?
Amla—the star of Chyawanprash—contains up to 20x more vitamin C than oranges, making it one of the most powerful natural antioxidants in the world.

Generations of Nourishment

For millennia, jars of Chyawanprash have sat in kitchen cupboards across India—opened by mothers and grandmothers, who offered spoonfuls of care to their families. In every taste, there is not only medicine, but memory.

This lineage of nourishment reminds us that Chyawanprash is more than a product—it is an inheritance of love, passed from one generation to the next.

Why It Still Matters Today

Today, Chyawanprash remains a daily tonic that supports immunity, digestion, resilience, and vitality. It is especially cherished during seasonal transitions—strengthening the body in fall and winter, and rejuvenating it in spring.

A Living Tradition

When you take a spoonful of Chyawanprash, you are not just nourishing your body—you are participating in an ancient story. A story of a sage and his bride. Of celestial healers and their gift. Of love so powerful it inspired a formula still cherished 4,000 years later.

Chyawanprash is more than an herbal jam. It is love, medicine, and myth—preserved in every spoonful. A ritual that nourishes your food, your sleep, your sex, your life.
