Mythology of Chyawanaprash
According to Mahabharata
Puloma the wife of Bhrigu was at home by herself when a monster entered the heritage and tried to ravish her. Puloma was pregnant at that time and out of fear and anxiety, she aborted and the baby boy was born prematurely. He was named Chyawana and due to the premature birth, he was physically very weak. In his later life he was getting married to King Sharyatis´ young and beautiful daughter Sunkanya. Sometime after the marriage, the Ashwini twins offered him a medicine to regain his youth so he could be happy with his young beautiful wife Sunkanya. After taking the medicine Chyawana regained his youth and the formulation was named Chyawanaprash after the name of Chyawana.
