Nephrolithiasis is a process of forming renal calculi or stones in the kidneys. Certain biochemical changes such as formation of reactive oxygen species are the potential causes for epithelial tissue damage resulting in the idiopathic formation and accumulation of calcium oxalate crystals. There are many evidences available for the protective involvement of antioxidants against oxidative stress in nephrolithiasis. Also many formulations of traditional plants having stone breaking, stone dissolving, and diuretic activities, are available in market as ayurvedic treatments for nephrolithiasis. Most of the ayurvedic formulations available in the treatment of nephrolithiasis are generally churna, syrups, tablets or capsules. Many patients show incompliance for regularly ingesting these formulations.

Chyawanprash is prepared as per the instructions documented in Ayurvedic texts Charaka Samhita, the ancient Ayurvedic treatise. Its evaluation is done to calculate its organoleptic properties, pH, shelf life, stability and microbial contamination, Phase separation. Hence we can conclude that Chyawanprash will no longer be just an Immunity builder but it can be used as an effective and compliable medicine for nephrolithiasis treatment.

Chyawanprash, a polyherbal formulation, is popular for its nutritional value and is widely used as a tonic, rejuvenator, immunomodulator, and enhancer. This study aimed to evaluate the quality profile of five different brands of Chyawanprash marketed in Nepal. Proximate analysis, estimation of heavy metal, physicochemical analysis, determination of microbial contamination, estimation of vitamin C, and detection of heavy metals were carried out to assess the therapeutical values and compare the quality control parameters. All the analyses were carried out based on standard procedures. The data analysis revealed that the presence of moisture content (11.83 ± 1.61%–19.90 ± 0.92%), ash content (1.2–2.3%), energy (316.12 ± 1.96–363 ± 11.90 Kcal/100g), acid-insoluble ash content (0.12 ± 0.05–1.47 ± 0.26%), pH (5.12–5.34), vitamin C (9.92–28.58 mg/100g), and heavy metals was not detected in ppm in any of the brands. Chyawanprash holds tremendous amounts of nutritional value suitable for treating different types of illness. Thus, stringent quality control parameters should be implemented from the government level for product consistency and to reduce variation among different brands.

Chyawanprash (CP) is an Ayurvedic health supplement which is made up of a super-concentrated blend of nutrient-rich herbs and minerals. It is meant to restore drained reserves of life force (ojas) and to preserve strength, stamina, and vitality, while stalling the course of aging. Chyawanprash is formulated by processing around 50 medicinal herbs and their extracts, including the prime ingredient, Amla (Indian gooseberry), which is the world’s richest source of vitamin C. Chyawanprash preparation involves preparing a decoction of herbs, followed by dried extract preparation, subsequent mixture with honey, and addition of aromatic herb powders (namely clove, cardamom, and cinnamon) as standard. The finished product has a fruit jam-like consistency, and a sweet, sour, and spicy flavor. Scientific exploration of CP is warranted to understand its therapeutic efficacy. Scattered information exploring the therapeutic potential of CP is available, and there is a need to assemble it. Thus, an effort was made to compile the scattered information from ancient Ayurvedic texts and treatises, along with ethnobotanical, ethnopharmacological, and scientifically validated literature, that highlight the role of CP in therapeutics.
