lets start 2018 with Healthy food not Medicine

Amla (Indian Gooseberry) or 'amalaki' is a translucent fruit with many therapeutic benefits. It's considered to be one of the most important plants in Ayurvedic medicine and is a unique balance of sour, sweet, pungent and bitter. It's rich in Vitamin C and also loaded with a range of polyphenols (gallic acid, ellagic acid, luteolin, corilagin etc). Polyphenols are antioxidants that prevent damage to free radicals in the body and fight different types of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. It is believed that amla can help balance all the three doshas (vata/pitta/kapha) in the body and treat the underlying cause of many health problems.

1. Boosts hair growth: Amla is rich in iron and has antioxidants which reduce hair lossby not allowing free radicals to damage hair follicles. Amla also enhances hair growth and prevents premature graying. Eating fresh amla or applying its paste to the roots of your hair improves both growth and color. 

2. Improves eyesight: Studies have shown that eating amla improves eye health, cataracts and also  reduces intraocular tension which is the pressure you feel in the eye. High level of carotene present in amla is known to improve vision related conditions.

3. Improves digestion: Amla is high in fiber and helps in regularizing bowel movement. It reduces constipation and stimulates the secretion of gastric juices. It also improves digestion and allows for more nutrient absorption.


Drink atleast 60ml pure Amla juice twice a day in winter to glow your skin and to improve your Hair quality .
