Amalaki - The Wonder Herb

In the charak samhita, an important and prominent herb is mentioned as a rasayan. This rasayan component controls aging and encourages long life. This herb is widely and frequently used to make ayurvedic medicines as it has several outstanding properties. Doctors say that if Amalaki is used on a regular basis, you will survive more than a 100 years and remain a youth. It revives all the various systems in the body. It also strengthens and lets the systems function effectively. It enhances our immune system and thus prevents diseases.

The scientific name of the Amla tree is Emblica officinalis and it is called amalaki in Sanskrit. It is the greatest and the best natural source of Vitamin C, lacking only the lavan rasa – all the other five rasas are present in it. Amalaki possesses the property of being effective in the cold weather – it is sheet virya. It contains guru (heavy), ruksh (dry) and sheet (cold) virtues. Hence it is effective in pitta disorders. However it assists in subduing the three intense doshas.

The Amla tree has a medium height – varied from 20 – 25 feet. The yellow flowers bud from the month of February to the month of May. The greenish yellow fruit is seen from the months of October to April. The tree usually grows 4500 feet above the sea level. The fruit of the tree is utilized.

The wonder herb, Amalaki, comes with many signs and suggestions. It is extensively utilized in problems related to pitta as it possesses sheet virya potency and is a significant part of ayurvedic medicine composition. It is the chief component in chawanprash, triphala and amlaki rasayan. It is used as an alternative for treating diseases like scurvy caused due to vitamin C deficiency. Amalaki, however, works on all other body systems.

This abounds in Vitamin C. The Amalaki juice comprises of almost twenty times as much Vitamin C as the juice of an orange. One tiny Amla is the same as two oranges when considering the amount of vitamin C. This rich juice is more swiftly absorbed into the body system in comparison to the synthetic vitamin – clinical tests conducted on patients suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis reveal so. It is an important constituent of several Ayurvedic medicines and tonics. Unnecessary salivation, nausea, vomiting, giddiness, spermatorrhoea, internal body heat and menstrual disorders are treated by this herb. It enhances sattwa as it cools down the system and is also an amazing liver tonic.
