With air quality in Delhi dipping to alarming levels, many traditional remedies are making a comeback — and Dabur Chyawanprash is once again at the centre of the conversation. Popular health creator FoodPharmer recently examined whether this age-old formulation can truly protect people from the effects of toxic smog.
According to his review, Chyawanprash does offer certain benefits. Its blend of herbs like amla, giloy, and ashwagandha can help support immunity and improve overall respiratory strength over time. Regular consumption may make the body more resilient to seasonal illnesses that often worsen during high-pollution months.
However, FoodPharmer clarified that Chyawanprash cannot act as a shield against air pollution. It does not filter out particulate matter, reduce exposure to toxins, or reverse the immediate impact of smog on the lungs. At best, it can complement a broader health routine but should not be treated as a standalone solution.
Experts continue to emphasise practical protective measures — masks, indoor air purifiers, staying hydrated, and limiting outdoor exposure when pollution peaks. While Chyawanprash can support immunity, expecting it to fight off Delhi’s severe smog is unrealistic.
In short, it may be good for your health — but it’s not a pollution protector.
