aamla<br />
medicinaL use<br />
in traditional indian medicine, dried and fresh fruits of the plant are used. all<br />
parts of the plant are used in various ayurvedic/unani medicine (Jawarish<br />
amla) herbal preparations, including the fruit, seed, leaves, root, bark and<br />
flowers. according to ayurveda, aamla fruit is sour (amla) and astringent<br />
(kashaya) in taste (rasa), with sweet (madhura), bitter (tikta) and pungent<br />
(katu) secondary tastes (anurasas). its qualities (gunas) are light (laghu) and<br />
dry (ruksha), the postdigestive effect (vipaka) is sweet (madhura), and its<br />
energy (virya) is cooling (shita).<br />
According to Ayurveda, aamla is specific to pitta due to its sweet taste and cooling<br />
energy. however, amla is thought to balance vata by virtue of its sour taste, and<br />
kapha due to its astringent taste and drying action. it may be used as a rasayana<br />
(rejuvenative) to promote longevity, and traditionally to enhance digestion<br />
(dipanapachana), treat constipation (anuloma), reduce fever (jvaraghna), purify<br />
the blood (raktaprasadana), reduce cough (kasahara), alleviate asthma (svasahara),<br />
strengthen the heart (hrdaya), benefit the eyes (chakshushya), stimulate hair growth<br />
(romasanjana), enliven the body (jivaniya), and enhance intellect (medhya). amla<br />
shampoos and hair oil are traditionally believed to nourish the hair and scalp<br />
and prevent premature grey hair.<br />
in ayurvedic polyherbal formulations, indian gooseberry is a common constituent,<br />
and most notably is the primary ingredient in an ancient herbal rasayana called<br />
chyawanprash. this formula, which contains 43 herbal ingredients as well as<br />
clarified butter, sesame oil, sugar cane juice, and honey, was first mentioned in the<br />
charaka samhita as a premier rejuvenative compound.<br />
in chinese traditional therapy, this fruit is called yuganzi , which is used to cure<br />
throat inflammation.<br />
Emblica officinalis tea may ameliorate diabetic neuropathy. In diabetic ats it<br />
Phyllanthus emblica (syn. Emblica officinalis), the Indian<br />
gooseberry, or aamla', is a deciduous tree of the Phyllanthaceae<br />
family. It is known for its edible fruit of the same name.<br />
significantly reduced blood glucose, food intake, water intake<br />
and urine output compared to the control group.<br />
cuLinary use<br />
Particularly in south india, the fruit is pickled with salt, oil,<br />
and spices. aamla is eaten raw or cooked into various dishes.<br />
in andhra Pradesh, tender varieties are used to prepare dal<br />
(a lentil preparation). amle ka murabbah is a sweet dish<br />
indigenous to the northern part of india (the berries are<br />
soaked in sugar syrup till they absorb the sweet flavor); it is<br />
traditionally consumed after meals.<br />
Other uses<br />
Popularly used in inks, the high tannin content of the indian<br />
gooseberry fruit serves as a mordant for fixing dyes in<br />
fabrics.<br />
