Amalaki, or Amla, is perhaps the single most often mentioned herb in the Caraka Samhita. It has a reputation as a powerful rejuvenating herb and has one of the highest contents of vitamin C of any naturally occurring substance in nature. Amalaki tincture is used as an aperient, diuretic, laxative, refrigerant, astringent and carminative. It is supportive for proper function of the liver, spleen, pancreas, heart, and lungs and has been used for conditions such as anemia, jaundice, hemorrhage disorders, asthma, bronchitis, insomnia. Amalaki extracts have been found to be very effective in the treatment of ulcers and hyperacidity.
A research team has discovered that Amla extract, when taken regularly as a dietary supplement, can counteract the toxic effects of prolonged exposure to environmental heavy metals such as lead, aluminum, and nickel. These metals are prevalent in the environment of industrialized countries. In the studies, the pro-oxidant or oxygen radical scavenger qualities of Amalaki suggest that is is also may be effective in lowering the risk of cancers.
Other studies have shown that it is more effective than vitamin C alone in reducing chromosome abnormalities. Amla has twenty times more vitamin C than orange juice and the natural tannins help prevent oxidation of the vitamin content. Amla reduces unwanted fat because it increases total protein levels and this action is due to its ability to create a positive nitrogen balance and significantly reduce the levels of free fatty acids. Additionally, Amalaki reduces cholesterol and cholesterol induced atherosclerosis (obstruction of the arteries), making it a useful herb for fighting obesity. One study showed that it prevents atheroma or degeneration of the artery walls due to fat and scar tissue. It reduces or eliminates the risk of environmental pollutants, normalizes cholesterol levels, reduces unwanted fat, cures ulcers, and has the highest content of natural vitamin C.
It is also known to cleanse the colon, eliminating excess toxins and heat while supporting healthy bowel movements. Amalaki tincture is a potent rejuvenator that nourishes the tissues and gently removes natural toxins. Amalaki's cooling effect removes excess pitta from the GI tract, which supports a healthy stomach lining and proper function of digestive actions.
Amalaki is highly concentrated and a source of antioxidants, nourishing all body tissue, it promotes healthy eyes, bones, blood, teeth, hair, and nails. Therefore, we may draw the conclusion that Amalaki extracts are good for almost everyone on a regular basis.
