The Chyawanprash Market in India

Chyawanprash is an ayurvedic product made using a long list of herbal ingredients. This article examines the chyawanprash market in India, which is led by Dabur.

Ayurveda has long been an affordable and result-oriented medicine option, dating back to the time before the invention of allopathic medicines. Chyawanprash is an ayurvedic formulation of over 50 herbs and spices that are synergistically blended. The ingredients include ghee, sugar, berries, honey, Indian gooseberry (amla) jam, sesame oil, etc. It is also known as a herbal jam and can be consumed daily as a health supplement by children and adults. Founded in 1884 by Dr. S.K. Burman, Dabur is one of the most well-known chyawanprash brands in India. The main motive behind this brand was to cure diseases such as malaria, plague, and cholera, especially for those in remote areas without access to medicine.
