ABSTRACT
Every age group needs proper nutrition. The three foundations of Ayurveda-Diet (Ahara), Sleep (Nidra) and Celibacy (Brahmcharya)-are referred to as Trayopstambh in Ayurveda. The three pillars support the body.[1] Among these sub-pillars, Ahara is the best medication possible. It provides nutrition for the mind, body and spirit. Acharya Kashyapa referred to Ahara as Mahabhaishajya, which means "greatest and best medicine".[2] Children who engage in hard cuisine develop karshya, a clinical ailment that causes their bodies to eventually become emaciated and make them excessively thin.[3] Narikela Khanda is an Ayurvedic formulation which provides nourishment, improves appetite and increase the body strength, it is mild formulation that can be used in children as well as old person. According to Bhaishajya Ratnavali Nariekla Khanda is Balya, Vrishya and Pushtikar and can be used as generalized tonics for the healthy body. Narikela Khanda has been prepared as per the reference given by Kaviraj Govind Das Sen in Bhaishajya Ratnavali.
