How Does This Ayurvedic Herb Supplement Improve Wellness?

CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW

Amalaki - the fruit of an Amalaki tree (Emblica officinalis) - is an amazingly useful Ayurvedic herb.

Vitality Tonic & Rejuvenative

As a potent rejuvenative for the entire body, Amalaki stimulates the production of red blood cells and enhances cellular regeneration.

Amalaki strengthens the bones and teeth, and cause hair and nails to grow. In India, Amalaki is used to encourage rich, luxurious hair growth.

Those who want to increases lean body mass can find help with Amalaki.

Amalaki has the highest concentration of absorbable vitamin C. This makes it a sour immune stimulant.

It is the main ingredient in the traditional Ayurvedic jam called chyavanprash, a tasty rejuvenative tonic (rasayana) and immune tonic used for centuries to deliver the healing benefits of Amalaki deep into your tissues.

As it nourishes, strengthens, and cleanses bodily tissues, Amalaki is balancing for all doshas, especially Pitta.

Liver and Blood Purifying Tonic

As a sour fruit packed with antioxidants, Amalaki is a natural anti-inflammatory, liver, and spleen tonic.

Its sourness also makes it an excellent vasodilator of capillary beds, rejuvenating the skin and circulatory system.

Altogether these properties help it gently detoxify your body and purify your blood of all Pitta conditions, especially Pitta skin conditions such as rashes, inflammation, or ulcers.

These liver and blood healing properties make Amalaki an excellent choice to improve eyesight.

Reduces GI Heat and Inflammation

While all of these benefits sound good, they are only part of the reason for the popularity of this very powerful herb.

Amalaki is one of three ingredients in Triphala Ayurveda's most widely used herb formula.

Considered a general panacea for almost all imbalances, Triphala is also excellent for detoxifying and rejuvenating the body.

However, Amalaki by itself may be a better choice if you suffer from Pitta conditions of the GI tract including gastritis, colitis, ulcers, heartburn or acid reflux. All of these can compromise your digestive tract with their excess heat.

The sourness of Amalaki softens stools, supporting healthy, regular elimination.

As a natural anti-inflammatory, Amalaki helps expel excess heat while it soothes and protects the tissues of your ailing GI tract.

Amalakis vasodilating properties promote improved digestive fire (agni).

Amalaki helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

How to Take

Dosage: 1/4-1/2tsp in warm water before meals or bedtime. Since Amalaki is very astringent, it initially makes your mouth dry, but only temporarily, however.

Shortly thereafter, it provokes release of saliva. Finally, it tastes sweet. To minimize dryness in the mouth, brew as a tea then strain. Or, mix with a bit of honey.
