In India, there's a hardly a household that would be unfamiliar with the mighty little Indian gooseberry, namely Amla! While ancient Indian medicine extolls the medicinal properties of amla, grandmothers enthusiastically add amla candy and amla supari to our year-long daily diet. Why though? With very good reason for sure...
Did you know that it is a natural immunity booster, and why not - it has 8 times more vitamin C than oranges and 15 times more antioxidants than pomegranates! It is a natural blood purifier and a great source of fiber. It even works as an excellent brain tonic. It helps reduce blood sugar and cholesterol, relieves acidity, improves acidity, sharpens eyesight and makes skin glow. Just how many benefits this ping pong ball sized fruit offers is spectacular!
This seasonal fruit can be consumed raw, but only when available. Hence ancient and modern medicine suggest that amla powder is the next best way of preserving all its amazing medicinal values. What a relief to know that there is a way to enjoy the benefits of this medicinal berry all year round, isn't it! Here are a few ways of using it...
General health: Just ½ teaspoon of Amla powder, mixed with honey or jaggery, consumed before meals gives you the equivalent of 2-3 raw pieces - a perfect health tonic. It can be had mixed with water too.
Skin: It works wonders externally too... for smooth glowing skin, apply a face mask made by mixing amla powder, honey and yogurt. Wash it off when dry and viola!
Hair: Not just for shiny, strong hair, but to cure dandruff and hair fall too, try this hair mask made of amla powder mixed with shikakai and curd. Leave it on the scalp for half an hour before washing it off.
My, what a splendid sight our laden organic amla trees are! Fresh and juicy, the berries taste just as amazing too. Alas, they can't stay that way for very long. Hence the powder...
