Amla is one of the most important foods in Ayurvedic medicine with an
incredible list of health benefits. A whole book could be written on
all of the potential uses of the Indian gooseberry, also known as
amalaki.
For a short summary, amla has been primarily used as a rejuvenator of
many of the body’s organs and functions, to boost the immune system,
slow down the aging process and promote good general health and
longevity. research has shown that these benefits come primarily from its rich
array of antioxidants, rather than an unusually high vitamin C content
which some websites list.
These antioxidants, so far identified, including ellagic and gallic
acid, emblicanin A and B, punigluconin, pedunculagin, chebulinic and
chebulagic acid, quercetin, corilagin, isostrictiniin and the list goes
on and on with even harder scientific names to spell.
