Rasayan Churna Powder

Rasayan Churna Powder, whose name translates as 'rejuvenation powder', is a traditional Ayurvedic formulation of three herbs ground together. It has a subtly bitter, earthy flavour, with the intensely sour, astringent taste of Amla coming through most clearly.

Its three components are Tribulus terrestris (Gokshura) and Tinospora cordifolia (Guduchi), both classical ingredients in Ayurvedic formulations, and Phyllanthus emblica (Amla). The combination follows traditional Ayurvedic formulation practice.

How to use it

It can be worked into daily cooking, where its complex flavour suits soups and curries, or steeped in hot water as a traditional brew: half a teaspoon in 200ml, left five minutes and strained. It is also occasionally used in home-made skincare and haircare preparations, in the Ayurvedic tradition of bringing herbs into beauty routines. The technique tip: slake the powder in a spoonful of cool water before adding hot, and pair it with honey or warm milk if the bitterness is sharp; fat and sweetness both soften the astringent edge of Amla.
