During Vedic period, when Bhrugu and Chavan lived a formulation of Herbal Medicines was formulated for the aged and week 'Chavan Rishi' by the Royal Vaids or Devas Vaids called Ashvini Kumar Brothers on Dhosi Hill. This formulation was called 'CHAVYANPRASH' or 'CHAVANPRASH'. This formulation and process of 'Kayakalp' a type of 'skin glowing process' made Chavyan Rishi look young.
