Gooseberries ( Amla) - Health Benefits
1.) It’s an excellent source of
Vitamin C:
Amla is a highly potent form of
Vitamin C, and contains much more Vitamin C than is found in oranges.
2.)
It
enhances immunity.
3.)
It’s high in antioxidants.
Antioxidants prevent the body against free radicals. Free radicals
are harmful and can damage cells, potentially leading to cancer and other
possible diseases.
4.)
It reduces inflammation.
5.)
It is good for digestion, and helps the body to absorb and assimilate nutrients
from the foods we eat.
Amla also reduces acidity. It’s a lot more slow and gentle than
other herbs that aid digestion. For example, ginger is an herb/root used for
digestion. It is a lot stronger and warmer than Amla. But don’t get me wrong,
ginger is great for anyone who can handle it. Personally, as an individual
who’s a bit more sensitive than most people, I tend to not have it very often.
I prefer the gentleness and cooler quality of Amla.
7.)
It’s great for the urinary system.
It helps flush out toxins through the urinary system without
over-stimulating it.
8.)
Great for the skin.
Whenever you see someone with a lot of skin blemishes or acne,
often times it’s due to them having a liver overrun by toxins.
Since Amla helps to detoxify the liver and aids digestion (as well
as being a good source of Vitamin C and other minerals), one of the results of
taking it regularly is that it’s good for one’s complexion.
9.)
Gives us healthier, more lustrous hair.
Since Amla is great for digestion, it makes it easier for our
bodies to absorb the calcium in the foods we eat, therefore resulting in
healthier hair (not to mention healthier bones, teeth, and nails). It helps us
to preserve our natural, youthful hair color, and minimizes hair loss.
10.)
Relieves menstrual cramping.
If you plan to take Amla specifically to get rid of menstrual
cramps, you’ll need to start taking it at least a few weeks before menstruation
in order for it to be in your system long enough to have an effect.
