Indian Gooseberry
| Amla, also known as Indian Gooseberry, is a fruit that has been used in ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. It is believed to have many health benefits and is used to treat a variety of ailments. In ayurveda, Amla is considered a “rasayana,” which means it helps to rejuvenate and nourish the body. It is said to be beneficial for digestion, immunity, skin health, and overall wellbeing. Amla contains high levels of Vitamin C and antioxidants which are thought to help reduce inflammation and protect against free radical damage. It also contains several other vitamins and minerals such as iron, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, zinc and manganese. These nutrients are essential for maintaining good health. In ayurvedic medicine, Amla is often used in combination with other herbs to create herbal remedies for various conditions such as digestive issues, respiratory problems, skin disorders and more. It can also be taken on its own or added to food or drinks for an extra boost of nutrition. Amla has been used in traditional medicine for centuries due to its wide range of potential benefits including improved digestion and immunity; better skin health; increased energy levels; improved mental clarity; reduced stress levels; improved heart health; lower cholesterol levels; weight loss support. Indian gooseberry (amalaki) can also help hair health by preventing the damage to hair follicles that can get in the way of hair growth. It can enhance your natural hair color and prevent dryness by clarifying and restoring moisture to your scalp. Amalaki contains large amounts of vitamin C, and helps to pacify the doshas Vata, Pitta and Kapha. |
