Leham
Lehams are semi solid herbal jelly (predominantly) preparations by combining controlled proportions of various medicinal herbs with jaggery and sugar in certain cases. These are then boiled together to derive the desired jelly form which are also known as modaka, rasayana and khanda. One of most famous forms of leham is Chyavanaprasam (also know as chyavanprash or chyawanprash) which is known for its immunity and vitality properties. The literature of Chyanaprasam is said to be more than 1500 years old and is still considered to be a potent combination to beat several modern day health issues including stress, fatigue, lack of immunity and concentration.
