Answer 10

The Amla berry (Emblica officinalis) is a traditional food and medicine that inspires awe

in the mind of the serious herbalist due to its many known nutritional and medicinal

benefits and uses.

Amla berries have the highest amount of naturally occurring vitamin C of any ripe fruit in

the world used as a traditional food. Numerous studies conducted on Amla fruit suggest

that it has anti-viral properties and also functions as an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal

agent. 2 The gelatinous plum-sized Amla fruit contains naturally occurring vitamin, heatstable

vitamin C. 3 A clinical study on patients with pulmonary tuberculosis showed that

the vitamin C contained in Amla berries was better assimilated than synthetic vitamin C. 4

Further research of contemporary and traditional medical literature indicates that Amla

either in combination with other herbs or alone has been useful in the amelioration of

colds, warts, skin afflictions, influenza, anemia, diabetes, lung conditions, elevated

cholesterol and as an immune restorative in cancer conditions. 5

Experiments conducted at the Niwa Institute of Immunology in Japan have shown Amla

to be a potent scavenger of free radicals, the stress-related reactive oxygen-based ions

which clutter up an unhealthy body. The list of traditional medicinal uses for Amla

berries is nearly endless. Amla berries are also enjoyed as a food and eaten like

strawberries with cream or as an ingredient in sherbets and other confections. Amla is

also used traditionally in cosmetics such as shampoos and hair conditioners.

Amla forms the base for the most popular ancient herbal restorative formula in the world,

known as Chayavan Prash. Chayavan Prash is an herbal gel or paste that contains

mainly Amla berries with other herbal ingredients and is used daily by hundreds of

millions of Asians as a general panacea tonic for the entire family.

Sometimes the Amla berries are concentrated into a full-spectrum extract with a high

amount of naturally occurring vitamin C and associated vitamin C factors and

bioflavonoids such as ellagic acid, rutin, hesperidin, and quercitin.

Answer 13

It is the magic berry which has many mystical powers attached to it.

It is non allergic and a very good immunostimulant berry. It rejuvu\inates the general body tone and health and reverses the effects of ageing like wrinkles, graying of hairs, fall in haemoglobin, eyesight loss, indigestion, senility and loss of vigour.

All these symptoms of ageing or sickness can be reversed by Amla regul;arly in any form.

The important is the regularity and not the form.

What happens is that we expect miracles to happen overnight. No the Amla miracle will take time.

Amla is good for skin problems also.

It works by cleaning the systems and them stimulating them and restoring them to the rate suitable for the individual and hence the differences in the response to the same preparation from person to person. Most people do not understand this and then feel it is not working for me.
