Amalaki

Amalaki or Indian Gooseberry has a very important place in Ayurveda. According to ancient  Indian Science, amalaki  is considered  as amrita or heavenly nectar.  It is holistic form of medicine which has innumerable effects on the whole body.

From the dacon of  Ayurveda, amalaki has been used for various  health related purposes. Even today this wonder herb is used to treat  and  heal plenty  of disease. 

Amalaki  is more than a medicinal herb, it is  actually  a rejuvenator. Ayurveda texts  consider it as the best rejuvenator of all. What surprising is that  it has no harmful effects, as it benefits all the system of the body.

The part used is fruit.  Among the sour fruits amlaki is the superior.
