Hair Tonic
Amla (Indian
gooseberry) is an
accepted hair tonic
in traditional
recipes for
enriching hair
growth and hair
pigmentation. Amla
is excellent for
strengthening the
roots of your hair
and maintaining its
color and luster.
Liver Functions
Regular use of pain
killers, antibiotics
and medication,
regular intake of
alcohol, all cause
toxin build-up in
the liver. Amla
helps in
strengthening the
liver, and ridding
the body of these
toxins. It thus
helps to purify and
clean the blood.
This is why amla is
good for the skin,
and if taken in
combination with
neem, it can help
clear out pimples
that are caused due
to impure blood.
According to the
accounts in the
Caraka Samhita, by
consuming a rasayana
made with amla as
the main ingredient,
one will "live for a
hundred years
without any sign of
decrepitude."
Relying on amla
alone, and following
a unique ceremonial
approach-including
hand collection of
the fruits from a
forest of amla trees
on the day of the
full moon and
reciting the mantra
Om until the fruits
are imbued with a
sweet nectar (that
overcomes the sour,
astringent taste)-it
is said that "one
will live in
enjoyment of youth
for as many
thousands of years
as the number of
fruits on eats
according to this
method.
In traditional
Indian medicine
dried and fresh
fruits of the plant
are used. All parts
of the plant are
used in various
Ayurvedic/Unani
Medicine [Jawarish
Amla] herbal
preparations,
including the fruit,
seed, leaves, root,
bark and flowers.
According to
Ayurveda, amla fruit
is sour (amla) and
astringent (kashaya)
in taste (rasa),
with sweet (madhura),
bitter (tikta) and
pungent (katu)
secondary tastes (anurasas).
Its qualities (gunas)
are light (laghu)
and dry (ruksha),
the post-digestive
effect (vipaka) is
sweet (madhura), and
its energy (virya)
is cooling (shita).
According to
Ayurveda, amla is
specific to pitta
due to its sweet
taste and cooling
energy. However,
amla is thought to
balance vata by
virtue of its sour
taste, and kapha due
to its astringent
taste and drying
action. It may be
used as a rasayana (rejuvenative]]
to promote
longevity, and
traditionally to
enhance digestion (dipanapachana),
treat constipation (anuloma),
reduce fever (jvaraghna),
purify the blood (raktaprasadana),
reduce cough (kasahara),
alleviate asthma (svasahara),
strengthen the heart
(hrdaya), benefit
the eyes (chakshushya),
stimulate hair
growth (romasanjana),
enliven the body (jivaniya),
and enhance
intellect (medhya).
According to Unani
System of Medicine
the Mizaj of Amla is
Sard Khushk so that
it is very good
remedy for Haar
Amraz[Hot
Diseases][clarification
needed]
In Ayurvedic
polyherbal
formulations, Indian
gooseberry is a
common constituent,
and most notably is
the primary
ingredient in an
ancient herbal
rasayana called
Chyawanprash. This
formula, which
contains 43 herbal
ingredients as well
as clarified butter,
sesame oil, sugar
cane juice, and
honey, was first
mentioned in the
Charaka Samhita as a
premier rasayana or
rejuvenative
compound.
Food and digestion
Amla
strengthens
absorption and
assimilation of
food. It improves
digestion and
stimulates our taste
buds to relish food
better. It can be
used by everyone
without fear of
gastric irrita-tion,
or increased
acidity. It can also
be used to ease "too
much heat" - a
popular belief - in
the body. It aids in
better absorption
and assimilation of
iron from the gut.
It also acts as a
laxative in large
doses due to its
high fibre content.
Amla is best used as
an ingredient in our
diet regularly. It
can be used as an
alternative to
tamarind, lemon or
such other fruits to
add flavour to food.
It can be used as
dry powder, fresh
juice; or for
dressing, by grating
it coarse, or fine.
It can also be used
to prepare chutneys
[paste] to be used
as an adjuvant in
our meals. It can be
preserved for a long
time in sugar syrup
or as pickle and
used regularly.
Amla is one of the
best sources of
natural vitamin C.
It contains 20 times
more vitamin C than
an orange. Even when
it is dried, or
baked, it contains
tannins, which
prevent loss of
vitamin C. Vitamin
C, an anti-oxidant,
fights free
radicals, which
cause many chronic
and grave diseases
like arthritis, high
blood pressure,
heart problems,
Alzheimer's, cancer,
and so on. Vitamin C
is also required for
our body's natural
defences and healing
mechanisms.
