New Delhi: Amla or Indian gooseberry is one of the most versatile Indian herbs that helps elevate your mental and physical health and well-being. This superfood is loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants which protect you from heart diseases, hypertension, diabetes, and even digestive issues.
According to health experts, amla boosts your immunity, purifies the blood, and even flushes toxins from the body maintaining hormonal balance. However, too much consumption of this tangy fruit can even be dangerous to health.
Doctors advise not consuming amla on an empty stomach for those who have a history of hyperacidity as it can irritate the lining of the stomach and can trigger gastric issues1.
