Gooseberry (Amla or Emblic) Murabba

-

According to Ayurveda, amla balances all three doshas. While amla is unusual in that it contains five out of the six tastes recognized by Ayurveda, it is most important to recognize the effects of the "virya", or potency, and "vipaka", or post-digestive effect. Considered in this light, amla is particularly helpful in reducing pitta because of its cooling energy. It also balances both Pitta and vata by virtue of its sweet taste. The kapha is balanced primarily due to its drying action. It may be used as a rasayana (rejuvenative) to promote longevity, and traditionally to enhance digestion (dipanapachana), treat constipation (anuloma), reduce fever (jvaraghna), purify the blood (raktaprasadana), reduce cough (kasahara), alleviate asthma (svasahara), strengthen the heart (hrdaya), benefit the eyes (chakshushya), stimulate hair growth (romasanjana), enliven the body (jivaniya), and enhance intellect (medhya).
In Ayurvedic polyherbal formulations, Indian gooseberry is a common constituent, and most notably is the primary ingredient in an ancient herbal rasayana called Chyawanprash. This formula, which contains 43 herbal ingredients as well as clarified butter, sesame oil, sugar cane juice, and honey, was first mentioned in the Charaka Samhita as a premier rejuvenative compound.

In Chinese traditional therapy, though this fruit is mentioned as yuganzi (余甘子), or you gan zi (油甘子）, it is not commonly found in China.

 If you among those people who eat lots of junk food, then you should include Amla(gooseberry) in your daily meals to keep yourself all the stomach related problems at bay. Eat Amla(gooseberry) before going to bed at night. This will help in digestion and will dissolve all harmful elements present in the body.

 Amla (gooseberry)helps is flushing out all the toxic substances in the body. It clears the blood and makes your teeth and gums strong. If you will eat Amla daily it will definitely benefit you.

 In summers eat one Amla (gooseberry)Murabba everyday in the morning along with water. This will keep your mind and body cool.
