What is the history (from purana or itihasa) behind Chyanava Rishi, the Ashvini Kumaras, and the origin of Chyavanaprash leghyam which could supposedly rejuvenate your life (like a fountain of youth)?

@Sarvabhouma, did they create the chyavanprash leghyam, or just asked him to bathe in lake ? – ram Jun 25 '18 at 03:30

According to Bhavprakash Nighantu ,Ashvini Kumaras discovered 8 divine medicinal plants with which they gave Rishi Chavana his youth back. So this is the ref. to Chyawanprash.But in puranic/ Mahabharata versions its dip in the pond. – SwiftPushkar Jun 25 '18 at 07:08
