Amla (Amalaki) is one of the most powerful anti-aging plants in Ayurvedic medicine. It is especially effective as rasayana for Pitta, as well as for blood, bones, liver and heart.
Amalaki regenerates and maintains new tissues and increases the number of red blood cells. It cleans the oral cavity, strengthens teeth, nourishes bone tissue, stops bleeding from the gums, relieves inflammation in the stomach and colon. It is the richest natural source of vitamin C (up to 3000 mg per fruit).
Amalaki improves appetite, cleanses the intestines and regulates blood sugar levels.
The nature of amalaki is sattvic and bestows longevity, good luck, love. By itself, this tree is a long-liver. Amla (fruit) contains various forms of ascorbic acid, combined with a tannin complex and gallic acid, which increases the stability of vitamin C, which remains in the plucked fruit for up to 2 years.
Thanks to ascorbates, carotenoids and bioflavonoids, amla has antioxidant properties, i.e. neutralizes the active action of free radicals formed as a result of oxidative processes. Three types of radicals are known: superoxide radical, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical. If the first two are neutralized by superoxide enzymes - dismutase, catalase and peroxidase, then the body has not developed specific protection from the hydroxyl radical, since its appearance is associated with high-frequency radiation from televisions, computers, radio phones and other household appliances and electronics that have appeared relatively recently.
Free radicals can damage arteries, accelerate the aging of articular cartilage and intervertebral discs, disrupt the colloidal balance of bile, and weaken the immune system. Therefore, regular intake of antioxidants is very relevant these days.
In addition, amalaki has an immunomodulatory effect. Amla balances the immune system.
Amla stimulates the synthesis of hemoglobin, promotes hematopoiesis and the formation of reproductive fluids; very strong tonic.
Amla is the main component of Chyawanprash, herbal jam, a well-known Ayurvedic tonic with a general effect.
