Amalaki

AMALAKI

Amalaki (Phyllanthus emblica), commonly known as Amla or Indian Gooseberry, is a powerhouse of nutrition and one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C. Revered in Ayurveda as a Rasayanik tonic, it is known for enhancing immunity, promoting skin health, purifying the blood, and improving eyesight. Amla is believed to balance all three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—making it a versatile remedy for holistic wellness.
