A relative of the currant family, the gooseberry, also known as Amla, Amlaki, Vayastha and Dhatriphala, it has many curative powers just like other berries. However this is a berry which has extra curative powers. If one were to consider an analogy, the following one would be apt - gold is to the world of minerals as amla is to the world of herbs. Such is the wondrous value of the great herb.

It rejuvenates skin, prevents infections and increases the natural immunity of the human body. One gooseberry is equivalent to the strength of two oranges put together. It is an antioxidant that helps fight free radicals that tend to damage the skin. One of the greatest mysteries of this wonderful herb is that even when cooked, the vitami
C content does not diminish.

Eye problems

The gooseberry is extremely beneficial for all eye ailments. The juice if mixed with honey, can help in improving the eyesight. It also treats common kinds of eye infections like conjunctivitis and glaucoma. It also reduces the tension in the intraocular region.

With the regular intake of Amla juice one can strengthen the condition of the liver and also eliminate all the toxins built up in the system. It purifies and cleanses the blood of all its impurities. When taken along with neem, it is a great cure for eliminating pimples occurring on the skin.

This is one main reason why it’s so good for improving immune systems. This is how it enables the body to fight common diseases.

When equal quantities of Amla, bitter gourd and the Jamun fruit are mixed together, this mixture when taken in a teaspoon twice a day, can help in curing diabetes.
