Indian Gooseberry Whole (Phyllanthus emblica), also known as Amla, is a small, round fruit revered in Ayurvedic and traditional herbal medicine for its deeply rejuvenating, cooling, and antioxidant-rich properties. Naturally sour and slightly astringent, this whole dried fruit is a powerful tonic for promoting longevity, digestion, and immune health.
Amla is one of the most important herbs in Ayurveda, where it is considered a rasayana, or rejuvenating tonic. It is rich in vitamin C, polyphenols, and tannins, which contribute to its ability to cool inflammation, support healthy skin, strengthen the eyes, and balance all three doshas (vata, pitta, kapha). It is particularly well known for its role in supporting liver function, enhancing nutrient absorption, and gently cleansing the digestive tract.
In broader herbal use, Indian Gooseberry is valued for its immune-supportive, adaptogenic, and detoxifying actions. It is often taken to increase vitality, promote hair and skin health, and protect the body from oxidative stress.
When simmered or steeped, Indian Gooseberry Whole produces a tart, earthy infusion, often used on its own or as a key ingredient in classical blends like Triphala.
Each batch of Indian Gooseberry Whole (Phyllanthus emblica) is carefully selected and dried to preserve its natural potency, sourness, and broad spectrum of nutrients. Whether used in Ayurvedic formulas, digestive tonics, or daily teas, Amla offers a time-tested, deeply nourishing fruit for whole-body rejuvenation and immune support.
