Amla or Indian gooseberry is a rejuvenate
herb, it nourishes all the body tissues and accelerates the cell regeneration
process. It is useful for liver, lungs, brain, and skin and is wonderful tonic
for the eyes. It is excellent for strengthening the roots of hair and maintains
its colour and luster. It is beneficial for the digestive process and helps the
body to absorb iron, calcium and other nutrients from foods more efficiently.
It also helps balance stomach acid. It is useful regulating elimination and
supporting the urinary tract. Amla is the supplement of choice for athletes
because it is reported to boost protein metabolism, and helps build lean body
mass. Because it helps enhance metabolism, it is also good for weight
management. Being bitter in taste people avoid eating amla. Amla can easily be
consumed as pickle. You can prepare it within two hours only. The method is
