Amla, also known as Indian gooseberry, is a fruit revered in Ayurveda for its many health benefits.
Amla is the powerhouse of vitamin C, which helps boost the immune system. It helps strengthen the body’s defence against health ailments and aids in faster recovery from illnesses. It also works as a powerful antioxidant and protects cells from damage caused by free radicals.
As per Ayurveda, amla has a cooling impact on our body which helps to regulate the body temperature. It also acts as an effective medicine for fever as it helps increase immunity.
The fibre in amla berries helps the body regulate bowel movements. It may help to relieve symptoms from conditions like irritable bowel syndrome as well.
Indian gooseberry is said to be a very rich source of vitamin C and phenolics, two potent antioxidant compounds.
Amla is known to nourish the hair follicles and strengthen the hair roots. It also helps prevent premature greying, promoting healthy and lustrous hair.
