The Science Behind Choornam Preparations

A choornam is a fine powder made from one or more dried herbs. While modern supplements often rely on extracts and isolates, choornams utilize the whole plant, preserving the natural synergy of its compounds.

Preparation Method

The herbs are carefully dried in the shade to preserve their volatile oils, then ground into a fine powder. This process ensures that the therapeutic properties remain intact.

How to Use

Choornams are typically mixed with a carrier (anupanam) such as honey, warm water, milk, or ghee. This carrier helps deliver the active compounds precisely where the body needs them.
