AYURVEDIC CHOORNAM (CHURAN)

Here’s why you should consume Ayurvedic choornam
Headache, indigestion, insomnia and anxiety have become commonplace in today’s fast-paced lifestyle. And popping pills every time you experience discomfort may seem like an easy solution. But is it safe in the long run?
Most people relying heavily on modern medicines experience side effects after a certain point. Over time, these side effects may get worse and turn into severe health complications.
That is why taking alternative medicines, whenever possible, is the right thing to do. When taken in the right dosage and duration, Ayurvedic remedies offer maximum benefits with minimal side effects.
Types of Choornam
In terms of texture, choornam can be classified into two main types.
Fine Powder - when herbs are dried and ground to fine particles, to be used in herbal jam, ghee, oil, etc.
Coarse Powder - when herbs are dried and ground to a granular form, to be used in herbal teas, decoctions, hot & cold infusions, etc.
The particle size of churan may vary depending on its usage as an ingredient in other concoctions as well as its intended purpose in isolation.
Furthermore, churan products are classified based on the number of ingredients.
- Single-Herb churan: when it’s entirely made of a single herb
- Poly-herbal churan: when it consists of multiple ingredients in certain proportions.
- Herbo-mineral churan: a combination of herbs and minerals.
Dosage and Shelf Life
Traditionally, it is recommended to consume no more than 12g per day. However, the dosage may vary depending on your health condition, age, gender and medical history. Always consult your Ayurvedic practitioner to know the right dosage for you.
In order to enhance its bioavailability, it may be advised to mix churan with other substances.
Every churan product comes with an expiry date, but it should be consumed within 2 months once opened. With a few exceptions, all kinds of churan products have a shelf life of six months when stored in an airtight container.
