Choornam
Choornams or Churnas are medicated powders. These are made through a process of either drying the roots and/ or leaves of herbal plants and then crushing them or through boiling them continuously for a long duration and then spray drying them and making churnas out of them. Churnas have a great affect on the system and are used by Ayurveda practioners extensively for treating a wide variety of ailments including chronic ailments such as irritable bowel syndrome and even some form of cancers. Choornams can be used internally as well as externally depending on the ailment.
