1. What are antioxidants and how does Amla help there?
A-Antioxidants are substances or nutrients in foods that can prevent or slow down the oxidative damage to the body. When the body cells use oxygen, they naturally produce free radicals (in simple words by-products) that can cause damage. Antioxidants act as "free radical scavengers" and therefore prevent and repair damage done by those free radicals. Health problems like heart disease, mascular degeneration, diabetes, cancer etc are all conduced by oxidative damage. Vitamin C has been considered as good antioxidant agent. Amla being very rich in Vitamin C serves the purpose.
2. Why do I need to take Amla daily?
A- You wake up daily, eat daily and sleep daily. That is not all, most importantly, you meet millions of microorganisms daily too! It is your immunity that is keeping you away from those deadly invisible structures. Remove your immunity just for an hour and you are no more. Amla boosts immunity continuously and keeps the body alert of day-to-day infections.

It contains five tastes (except salty taste) that are well balanced. Drink plain water after having Amla fruit, it is sweetened!

Embilica officinalis was tested on diabetes induced Wistar-NIN rats by STZ. The results provided an evidence that Emblica and an enriched fraction of Emblica tannoids are vey beneficial in delaying development of diabetic cataract in rats (Emblica officinalis and its enriched tannoids delay streptozotocin-induced diabetic cataract in rats by Suryanarayana P, Saraswat M, Petrash JM, Reddy GB at Biochemistry Division, National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad, India for Mol. Vis. 2007 Jul 24;13:1291-7).
Amla (Emblica officinalis) is widely used in Indian medicine as a remedy for many diseases. It was investigated that effects of amla on the lipid metabolism and protein expression involved in oxidative stress during the ageing process and the results were favorable it can be therefore said that the amla can prevent age-related hyperlipidaemia through attenuating oxidative stress in the ageing process (Amla (Emblica officinalis) prevents dyslipidaemia and oxidative stress in the ageing process by Yokozawa T, Kim HY, Kim HJ, Okubo T, Chu DC, Juneja LR. at Institute of Natural Medicine, University of Toyama, 2630 Sugitani, Toyama 930-0194, Japan. - Br. J. Nutr. 2007 Jun;97(6):1187-95).
Emblica officinalis or Indian Gooseberry is one of the most important herbs of Ayurveda, the traditional Indian medicinal system. In this ancient science, the fruit of Emblica officinalis was processed according to a method called "Svaras Bhavana", whereby the therapeutic potential of the fruit used to be enhanced by treating the main herb with its own juice. Amla is a prime source of Vitamin C i.e. Ascorbic acid and it carries great value as antioxidant agent (Vitamin C content and antioxidant activity of the fruit and of the Ayurvedic preparation of Emblica officinalis by Scartezzini P, Antognoni F, Raggi MA, Poli F, Sabbioni C.J. at Faculty of Pharmacy, Department of Biology, University of Bologna, Via Irnerio 42, 40126 Bologna, Italy for Ethnopharmacol. 2006 Mar 8;104(1-2):113-8. Epub 2005 Oct 13).
Not surprisingly, Amla's reputation is supported by scientific studies confirming its immunity-boosting properties. Clinical studies were conducted to investigate the effect of Amalaki in amlapitta (gastritis syndrome). Amalaki churna was given in 20 cases in a dose of 3g., thrice a day for seven days. The drug was found effective in 85 per cent of cases. Cases of hyperchlorhydria with burning sensation in abdominal and cardiac regions and epigastric pain were benefited.
It is believed that what gold is to the minerals, amla is to the herbs. Called amalaki, dhatriphala and vayastha in Sanskrit and Emblica officinalis scientifically, it is the most widely used herb in the ayurvedic system of medicine. Legends tell us that Chayavana Rishi regained his youthfulness because of the specific use of a herbal compound which primarily consisted of amla.
The English name of amla — Indian gooseberry — denotes that it is indigenous to India. Its light green fruit grows on a small tree which is found in wet forests of hill areas throughout the Indian subcontinent. Though all parts of the tree have medicinal value, it is the fruit which constitutes the main drug.
There are two main varieties of amla — one is wild and the other is cultivated. These are called vanya and gramya respectively. In common parlance these are known as desi or banarasi. The wild amla fruit is small, hard and stony and contains a lot of fibre whereas the other one is big, smooth, fleshy and rich in juicy content. Dry amla is wrinkled and of grey-black colour.
Amla is a rare fruit which contains all tastes except salty. With sourness as the foremost taste, it is at the same time sweet, astringent, bitter and pungent. It is light, dry and cold in effect and the richest source of vitamin C. Laboratory tests show that every 100 gm of fresh amla provides up to 700 mg of this vitamin which is 20 times higher than what is found in an orange.
The fresh fruit contains more than 80 per cent water besides protein, minerals, carbohydrates and fibre. The mineral and vitamin contents include calcium, phosphorus, iron, carotene and vitamin B complex. Even if dried in shade, amla retains much of its vitamin C. The leaves and bark of the tree are rich in tannin.
The eminence of amla is so well recognised in Ayurveda that all the famous ancient texts have discussed its preventive, restorative and curative usefulness and extolled its extraordinary medicinal qualities. Charaka has specifically mentioned it as a great rasayana that helps protect people from disease and keeps away the manifestations of premature ageing. Since amla pacifies all the three doshas — vata, pitta and kapha — it has a wide range of corrective and curative effect on the human body. It is rightly called sarvadosha hara — a remover of all diseases.
