AMLA (aka AMALAKI): The one and only superfood that is all for one and ONE FOR ALL
If you ask me what is that one superhero superfood that can solve all my wellness and beauty concerns, I would point you to THE ONE, THE ONLY: AMALAKI. No wonder the ancient Indian sages referred to it as the FRUIT OF HEAVEN.
AMALAKI (more commonly known as Indian Gooseberry or Amla) is a fruit that is pure magic. And if you try it, you’ll be just as big a believer as I am. I know what you’re thinking, what exactly is so great about this one fruit? And what all can it do? Well, that’s what I am here for!
I know this is hard to believe, I was in the same awe thinking about all the things this ONE fruit can do. But it has lived up to all its SUPERFOOD hype! Few of the most important benefits to me are:
Hair Growth
Glowing Skin
Anti-aging (yes please!)
Immunity Boost (especially during the COVID era)
Healthy Eyes (guilty of computer and TV overload)
Better Digestion
Diabetes Control
Weight Control
Best source of Vitamin C (Fun fact: An Amla contains ~20 times more vitamin C than an Orange)
Any side effects, you wonder? None! Just don’t overdo it or it may dry out your skin and hair. But that goes for everything, duh!
Can you take it daily? YES, you can and you definitely should!
Can anyone and everyone take it? Regardless of your Prakriti (there are 3 unique mind body types in Ayurveda)? ANYONE and EVERYONE can take Amla…don’t walk, run! I know, I get too excited. But there is really no other fruit like it.
So, which supplements would I recommend? Well, there are a few options depending on your preference! You will be surprised to know that no matter in which form you consume AMLA (raw, dried, extract) the nutrients remain the same! MAGIC LIKE I SAID!
Option 1: Powder (Stir into a glass of water and sip)
Option 2: Extract (Take directly via the dropper or stir into a glass of water)
Option 3: Tablet (Take with a glass of water)
I’ve listed the ones I’ve tried and loved below. I hope it brings you as much magic as it has brought me!
