5 Wonder Benefits Of Amalaki (Gooseberry,Nellikka)
What is Amalaki ?
Amalaki is a tree that grows throughout Asia that bears a lemon-sized fruit for several months out of the year. The fruit has a bitter taste and so is not usually eaten on its own, but rather prepared as part of a meal or condensed into supplement form. For the purposes of use as an herbal supplement, the fruit is dried and then ground into a powder. Amalaki has different names depending on where it is grown and thus is also known as:
- Amla
- Indian gooseberry
- Nellikka

How to Use Amla
Because taste plays such an important role in the digestive process and signals the body to initiate its own supportive mechanisms, Ayurveda traditionally recommends tasting herbs. Amla can be taken internally in four forms: a powder, a tablet, a liquid extract, or in a jam such as chyavanprash.
